If you were looking forward to the frights of the new Alone in the Dark game but upset because you didn’t have an HD console, fear not – it’s coming to the PS2 and Wii now too. The game will follow the same story set during a spooky night in New York. Woooooooo!
Time to preview a game which really should be out by now. It’s Zack and Wiki Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure and it was going to be published by Capcom but now Nintendo are looking after it and we won’t see it until next year. This one’s interesting because it’s a return to the point and click adventures of say Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle, but being on the WIi, a lot of the puzzles are solved by pointing your remote or by using it to do the actions of what you need to do on screen. So, Captain...
First up a kid’s game which may appeal to adults too, just like Disney Pixar films do. This one’s Ratatouille for the Wii and it’s really not that bad for a film license aimed at younger gamers.

Time to take a close look at Super Paper Mario.

So, is it any good? Let me tell you. At its core the game is a cross between a 2d platformer and a simple role-playing game. But you’re not fighting Bowser in this one. This time, the evil Count Black materialises from another dimension and spirits the...
So another year and another version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour comes out of the labs at EA and another horde of eager gamers go to the shops to buy what is essentially, the same game as last year with a few tweaks and improvements added. This year though, the improvements are significant, especially on the 360 with Xbox Live and the ability to load your face into the game, more on that in a second. To anyone unfamiliar, this golf franchise has been running for as long as I can remember and you can choose to play through a...
There’s already a new Zelda game coming out for the Wii. With the advent of their new lightgun peripheral the Zapper, they’re also making a game called Zelda Crossbow training which is about… you guessed it, archery! It’s a third-person target shooting game using the Twilight Princess engine. Whether we all start stealing from the rich and giving to the poor is yet to be seen.
