Table Tennis review

Originally released for the Xbox 360, Table Tennis was an unusual entry for Grand Theft Auto developers Rockstar. Even so it was well received by critics and gamers alike thanks to its high resolution visuals and hardcore gameplay. So how does the Rockstar Presents Table Tennis Wii port with its added motion controls and reduced graphics detail shape up? As you would expect from a game with such a simple premise (hitting a plastic ball about) there isn’t a big story to deal with, simply choose a player and play some ping pong. There are two main game modes, Tournament...

Madden NFL 09 review

So another year rolls by and EA release all their new sports titles with next year’s date on them. Madden NFL 09 is no exception and once again slightly tweaks the already established game to make a few improvements. I guess everyone in the US is going nuts for this. Here in the UK it’s a slightly different story as most people don’t even understand how the game’s played. I do understand it on a casual level and luckily, this Madden video game is very kid gloves with newbies. When you first start the game you play a few calibration...

Hockey Allstar Shootout

Canadian developers Big Blue Bubble are brining a decent sounding new Ice Hockey game to WiiWare. Called Hockey Allstar Shootout, this will be the first Hockey game on WiiWare and because it’s a digital download title – will be a low price compared to a retail game. Whilst not being a fully fledged Hockey Game that a company like EA would develop, it’s more a mini game collection with three exciting hockey skills to master. Shoot the lights out in Sharp Shooter, by breaking all 4 targets as quick as you can. Think you have a booming slap shot? Prove...
