House of the Dead Overkill review

House of the Dead: Overkill is an on-rails shooter for the Wii which takes the franchise, adds a massive injection of Quentin Tarantino-inspired movie kitch, a large dose of profanities and some genuinely funny moments as you shoot the heads, arms and legs off hundreds of mutants intent on eating your brains. It’s a massively well-known game which has an army of fans, so it could have all gone wrong when Sega asked Headstrong games to develop it and make it new and fresh for Nintendo’s kiddy console. Luckily, they’ve succeeded in almost every way and this game goes a...

No Disaster Day of Crisis for Wii in the US

Before the Wii launched Nintendo’s preview of Disaster Day of Crisis got folks rather excited. Developed by Monolith Software (who previously worked on Baten Kaitos) on behalf of Nintendo, much was expected from this core title which promised nonstop action, great graphics and interactive controls. After a long quit spell in development rumour spread that the game was cancelled due to development problems as well as real life world disasters which could deem the game socially insensitive. Then after Nintendo’s dismal E3 showing we heard that the game was back and due for release in Europe in October with no...

Disaster Day of Crisis

Everyone thought was canned but low and behold, Disaster Day of Crisis for Wii is back on the release schedule for Europe this year.

With a huge 23 stage storyline featuring; Tons of guns, Nuclear Weapons, huge bosses and tons of hidden content – this is probably one of the top hardcore titles to buy on Wii...

Dead Rising for the Wii

More news about the Wii version of Dead Rising. After initial concerns over not enough zombies, we’re told they’ll fit up to 100 on screen at once. Not only that but they’ll improve the save system, have selectable difficulty and Resident Evil 4-style controls – I might just give it another chance.

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...
