New Super Mario Bros review

It’s a bit odd that this game’s called New Super Mario Bros as it’s not really that new if you’ve played the DS version. The game looks almost identical apart from a couple of extra little touches but the main fundamental difference between the console version over the handheld is the fact that you can now play the game with up to four players which certainly completely changes the mechanic of the game far from anything we’ve seen before.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games review

Mario and Sonic’s Olympic Games game if you know what I mean sold like the proverbial hot cakes. Not only did it tap into the spirit of the Olympics but it also brought together two gaming greats as they competed along with their friends and enemies over track and field events – see what we thought of that back in our Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games review. Now they’re back competing over snow and ice but does the game get a chilly reception? Well, the good news is that this game improves on the last one. You’ll notice...

If you didn’t get enough arm ache with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games then prepare for more with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver for Wii and DS. The original game was pretty fun and showed potential for further Mario and Sonic games as well as selling very well for Sega. This time around with a Winter theme, balance board support and possibly even some Wiimotionplus we could be looking at a cracking Mario and Sonic game for New Year 2010.
