Wallace and Gromit Grand Adventures

Telltale games have released some really impressive looking screenshots and a trailer for their upcoming WiiWare (and PC) downloadable Wallace and Gromit adventures. We’re big fans of the Wallace and Gromit TV shows (A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave) as well as the amazing movie (Curse of the Were-Rabbit) and really hope that this games lives up to the high standard expected by Aardman animation studios and their fans. So far, based on the screenshots and trailer the game is looking really promising and we’re keeping our fingers tightly crossed for this one to be...

Quad Wii Remote Charge Station

You wouldn’t think Penguin United could outdo their already top notch Dual Wii Remote charging station could you? Well prepare to be dazzled as their new 4X Quad Charge Station for Wii charges up to 4 Wii Remote Controllers at once. The fun doesn’t stop there though, instead of regular Ni-Mh battery backs which you find bundled with most other charging stations, this one comes with Li-Ion batteries (the same type used by laptop computers). With this high power battery technology you can expect up to 13 hours of charge and a total recharge time of less than 4 hours....

TV Show King review

TV Show King for Wii is an exclusive downloadable game from Gameloft (the software developers behind many popular cell phone games) for Nintendo’s WiiWare service. Let’s see if they can bring over their portable gaming magic to the Wii in our review of TV Show King Wii. There aren’t many gamers who love every game genre, it’s just like TV and Movies, people enjoy different things. However quiz games are a bit of a Trojan horse, managing to slot into everyone’s realm of taste. Who doesn’t like to pit their knowledge against someone else and come out on top? You...

The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian review

We all know Traveller’s Tales are very good at making whacky games like Crash Bandicoot, Lego Star Wars and recently Lego Indiana Jones – with Prince Caspian they’ve had to reign the sillyness in to make a game that’s got very similar mechanics to the drop in-drop out gameplay of Lego games but also something with the epic feel of the movie. If you haven’t seen it, the foppish Prince Caspian is helped by the Pevensie family and a menagerie of beasts to save the kingdom from the rule of the evil King Miraz. Cue some fairly long levels set...

Super Smash Bros Brawl review

I’ve never really liked the Super Smash Bros. games. Correction – I’ve actually never really given them a chance. Seeing four cutesy Nintendo characters go hell-for-leather at each other just looked plain confusing and I never really grasped what those percentages were for at the bottom of the screen. Then, randomly, someone seems to win when someone goes flying off the screen quicker than a Big Brother housemate’s celebrity profile. This time I actually read the instruction manual, sat down, gritted my teeth and got stuck in – and you know what? I really like it! This is another Fan...
