Wii hardcore games

It’s true that Nintendo have focused more on the casual gamer and families this console generation; however behind the scenes there is a strong core focus to be found. Many Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners scoff at Nintendo Wii because all they see are TV commercials of the casual games they find so offensive, yet there are plenty of Wii adults only games available. You can now buy a Nintendo Wii for a hardcore video game player this Christmas holiday and still provide them the sort of games they’d want. Searching the web for the best Wii deals gets...

Dead Space Extraction review

Dead Space was one of my surprise favourite games last year so I’ve been looking forward to Dead Space Extraction on the Wii – a prequel which charts where all the horror on the cracked planet and in the mining vessel the Ishimura began. It’s an on-rails FPS but before you think this is just like Time Crisis or House of the Dead, let me explain to you why it’s very much not. Extraction has a much more considered approach in that there are times where you don’t shoot anything whilst the atmosphere builds as you’re taken for a ride...

The Conduit review

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a fully fledged core first person shooter on Wii. I found Metroid Prime 3 a little dull and Call of Duty World at War for Wii never arrived on my doormat for review. Yes we’ve had Water Warfare and Onslaught but whilst they were fun they weren’t what I’d call a top notch shooter. After months of expectation I was really excited to finally play it; so let’s find out if High Voltage software has delivered on their promise of the most fluid and intuitive shooter for Wii in my review of...

The Conduit review

There’s been quite a lot of talk about The Conduit due to the fact that it’s a proper First-Person Shooter for the Wii and looks mighty good too. Well, the good news is that it does look very good but what’s it like to play? In the game you play as Agent Ford, a man handy with weapons who’s working for an agency to stop a terrorist organisation and a bunch of aliens. Of course, as you play, things aren’t quite as they seem and you uncover a web of intrigue that although very clichéd will still hold your interest....

Spyborgs Release Date

Capcom have finally informed us that the release date for Spyborgs is September 29th 2009. Spyborgs is an exclusive Wii title which sees a trio of superhero cyborgs go after a former team member who has gone to the dark side. This coop brawler for up to two players sees you battling your way through hundreds of enemies, giant bosses and gameplay puzzles in what I like to call; a SciFI version of Madworld. With upgradable weapons, destructible environments, tons of pummelling action and an Xbox like Achievement System we can’t help but think Spyborgs for Wii will be a...

Fallout 3 for the Wii

Bethesda have announced they’re making a new adult game for the Wii. Probably not as sweary or rude as Sega’s recent 18+ offerings, hopefully we’ll see an RPG a bit like Fallout 3 with graphics along the line of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
