Water Warfare

Water Warfare review

First person shooters have often faced criticism because of their increasing level of violence and realism. I don’t want to get stuck into the argument about whether games encourage kids (or people in general) to be violent, what I do know is that Water Warfare for Wii is the first FPS designed for children that I’ve ever seen and it’s from Hudson Software. Let’s delve deeper in my review of Water Warfare for Wii. My first ever experience of a first person shooter was a game called Gloom for the Amiga in 1995 and since then I’ve played a fair...

Pirates vs Ninjas Dodge Ball

Pirates vs Ninjas Dodge Ball review

Dodge Ball hasn’t ever taken off as either an adult or children’s sport here in the UK which does seem a little surprising when many other American sports such as; Baseball, American Football and Basketball are more popular here than ever before. If you didn’t already know, Dodge Ball is primarily a school game for children (also played by adults) in which one team throw a red ball towards their opponents in an attempt to hit them. If a player gets hit he or she is out of the game but if they catch the ball, then it’s the thrower...

Boom Blox Bash Party review

Last year’s Boom Blox was a surprise hit and one of the best games yet for the WIi developed by a third party. Well, Spielberg and EA are back with the sequel and it’s more of the same only with some improvements which make it a much better game than before. The game revolves around you knocking blocks over to achieve whatever goal objective is being given to you at the time. Each level is a one-off puzzle which you must complete in order to move to the next stage. You throw bombs, baseballs, pull on blocks, sling them into...

Just as with last year’s original game; Boom Blox 2 returns with hundreds of puzzle levels where your aim is to knock down towers of blocks by throwing objects towards them (we like to call it Demolition Jenga). Now with a host of new colourful rectangular characters to meet and all new game themes like Underwater and Outer Space to explore we can expect...

Lets Tap

Lets Tap for Wii

Sega have finally confirmed that possibly the world’s most causal game since Wii Sports is due for release in the US. Lets Tap for Wii is a strange Japanese title doesn’t ask you to wave the Wii Remote around in the air but instead ask you to place the controller on a flat surface and tap your hand next to it with a soft drumming motion to complete lots of rhythm related and tapping mini games. Yes I agree Let’s Tap sounds like another 60 minute time waster which fills the void whilst we wait for the next Super Mario...

Rubiks World review

The Game Factory has brought the amazing world of Rubik’s Cubism to the Nintendo Wii in the form of the ingeniously named Rubik’s World (Rubik’s Puzzle World in Europe). It is estimated that 5% of the world’s population have purchased a Rubik’s Cube since it was originally released in the 1970’s (that’s over 300 million people), with sales figures like that it would be crazy not to bring the puzzle sensation into the 21st Century with a video game iteration. So how does Rubik’s Puzzle World for Wii shape up? Find out in my review of Rubik’s World for Wii....
