Shaun White Skateboarding has a good hook with the transforming environments, but the bland level design and unsatisfactory gameplay make it, at best, a mediocre skateboarding game. Still, it is likely one of the best skateboarding games on Wii, but that's more because of the weak competition. You're better off...
Blood Stone features a fleshed out single-player mode that features a good amount of gameplay variety and a nice presentation. The multiplayer might not be the best, but the game is a fun third-person shooter throughout. If you enjoy portable shooters, Blood Stone is worth playing.
GoldenEye 007
GoldenEye DS is a good companion to the Wii version, or even n-Space's other DS first-person shooters. The directed single-player experience is fun, and is at its best when you're sneaking around, silently taking out foes. The multiplayer might be more Call of Duty than GoldenEye 64, but it still...
DJ Hero 2 is an excellent sequel. It takes the solid gameplay the original game laid out and offers vast improvements. There are new gameplay quirks, a great new single-player mode, fun multiplayer, and solid online play if you can find someone to challenge. If you enjoyed the first game,...
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is full of hit-or-miss additions that don't make a huge difference to the gameplay. It's a capable entry in the series, but it's nothing special. If you're into the set list and only have a Wii, then definitely pick this game up. If you have...
Green Day: Rock Band is a well-presented game, but unless you're a Rock Band junkie or a die-hard fan of the band there isn't much of a reason to pick it up. Still, it's tough to deny the game's merits even if you don't care for the subject matter.
The Forgotten Sands is a good game, but it's really just more of the same if you've played a recent entry in the Prince of Persia series. The Wii additions aren't essential, boiling down to basic Wii Remote pointer control. If you're hankering for a new Prince of Persia experience...
FIFA 10 is a fantastic soccer game that has all the gameplay of the HD versions with a nice touch of family-friendliness and accessibility. It's a game that walks the line between arcade and simulation with great ability and is tons of fun to boot. While long-time FIFA fans will...
Simply put, Guitar Hero 5 is a fantastic and full-featured Wii rhythm game. You can import songs from past titles, you have a large and diverse set list to go through, and there are interesting new challenges to tackle. Any Guitar Hero fan with Wii instruments would be remiss to...
Aside from that glaring miscue, Madden NFL 10 is a fantastic multiplayer game with fun new modes, refined controls, and simplified gameplay. You can compete in Madden Showdown mode, cooperate in Road to the Super Bowl, and terrorize in the Huddle Up mode. While you're still playing a regular old...
When it comes down to it, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is just a pretty looking sandbox game with three mini-games. These games are interesting, but gameplay variety is a second thought, and so is the story. The only people who should bother with this game are Harry Potter...
Ghostbusters: The Video Game on DS simply misses the mark. The gameplay shows a few signs of quality in the story missions, but it falls apart in the horrendous driving sections and bland side missions. Ghostbusters die-hards who only have a DS should look into this game, but everyone else...
