Endless Ocean: Dive, Discover, Dream

February 12th, 2008 by admin

Absolutely beautiful game. The underwater visuals are incredible from the sea floor, hidden treasure, coral, caves, sunken ships, schools of fish, dolphins, manta rays, whales, and much more. Sunlight from above will also filter down below the surface. Day also turns to night and you can go night diving where you may find different types of sea life.

Now, when you are on the boat, it’s a different story. The visuals look incomplete. The boat, character, water and skyline Read More »

Wii Remote Controller

To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated- the result is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the global familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device that differentiates the Wii from any other console that has come before it.Revolutionary control
Sporting the dimensions of a small traditional remote control, Read More »

Wii Remote Controller

February 8th, 2008 by admin

The Wii Remote Controller is shaped like a standard TV remove, and has motion sensing ability. You wave it around, and your on-screen character waves their wand!

This isn’t an add-on controller - this is the actual, standard controller that most if not all games on the Nintendo Wii use as their primary control unit. There is also a “nunchuck” that can be used in your off hand, but many games don’t use the nunchuck. Read More »

Wii Nunchuk Controller

February 7th, 2008 by admin

The Wii Nunchuk controller is a secondary controller that adds even more innovation to the next generation of gaming, and does it all with less physical movement. Used in conjunction with the standard Wii remote, certain games need the Nunchuk controller for additional control options. Contoured perfectly to fit a player’s hand, Read More »

Wii Zapper with Link’s Crossbow Training

February 1st, 2008 by admin

The combination of the Zapper and Link’s Crossbow Training is well worth the $20 I paid. The Zapper (which is only a plastic shell for the Wiimote and the Nunchuck) is very sturdy and amazingly well-conceived. The instructions are quite clear on how to insert the Wiimote and the Nunchuck into the Zapper.

Of course the ergonomics of the Zapper are odd, Read More »

Super Mario Galaxy - wii game

January 30th, 2008 by admin

The classic Super Mario 64 re-defined the platformer for a new generation of gamers. The long anticipated Super Mario Galaxy, what I consider to be the true sequel to Super Mario 64 (sorry Super Mario Sunshine!) re-defines the modern day platformer once again, and is a crowning achievement for the license, Nintendo, the Wii, and video games in general. Princess Peach is in dire straits once again in Bowser’s clutches, and Mario embarks on an interstellar quest to save her. Read More »

No More Heroes - Nintendo Wii game

January 30th, 2008 by admin

First of all, this is a mature title and it’s a welcome change of pace from all the “casual” games out there on the Wii. There is blood and mature language, but it’s in the style of of what you may have seen in the Kill Bill films. This game is totally over the top and it’s funny. It’s all about the intense combat, strange characters, witty dialog, wicked sense of humor and overall visual anime-style look of the game. Read More »

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party Bundle - Nintendo Wii game

January 30th, 2008 by admin

As a dance challenged, lazy, out of shape gamer-girl whose nights often include pizza and movies (yeah I know there’s more of you out there!) I bought this DDR wii game to help me get active. I highly recommend it to inexperienced dancers because each song has various difficulty levels (four actually, but I’ve yet to get passed 1- beginner and 2- basic.) It will keep you challenged and give you room to improve, making this game a good investment for the game play time. Read More »

Wii

January 29th, 2008 by admin

Nintendo’s Wii video game system (pronounced “we”) brings people of all ages and video game experience together to play. This simple yet ground breaking idea is expressed not only though the system’s evocative name, which is easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and suggests two players side by side, but also through its innovative list of features and extensive list of playable titles.
