Does the Wii finally have its definitive lightsaber game?
The quest for the definitive lightsaber action game for the Wii continues as another Star Wars game is launched for the Nintendo console. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed featured a Jedi protagonist, but the game’s focus was on crazy Force powers—not lightsaber combat as people are clamoring for.

Review Surfing – Guitar Hero World Tour (Wii)
November 11, 2008 by Mike · 2 Comments
Guitar Hero World Tour is currently the hottest game for the Nintendo Wii, and with good reason: it’s finally as good as Rock Band. If you previously switched to Guitar Hero’s rival because of the band-focused gameplay, then you’d be pleased to know that World Tour finally integrates the same features—and in some cases—actually improves on the Rock Band formula.

Review Surfing - Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (DS)
November 5, 2008 by Mike · Leave a Comment
Of late, the Spider-Man video game franchise has been synonymous with the film-licensed video games—to describe it with a word, mediocre. This link is probably because several of the Spider-Man games have been movie tie-ins, and that they weren’t very good. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is Spidey’s sixth appearance in the Nintendo DS. Has Activision finally nailed it? See what the game critics think:

Review Surfing – Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS)
More and more critics are speaking up about Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. What’s interesting is that many of these staunch critics are known to be rather stingy in praise and generous in handing out censure (i.e. Destructoid, 1UP). Upon playing the franchise’s third installment for the Nintendo DS, the curmudgeons are now singing a different tune.

The gut reactions toward Wii Music when it was presented at this year’s E3 helped predict how the game would be received by game pundits. It’s either you loved it or hated it. If you’ve read the latest reviews for Wii Music, you’d understand what I’m talking about.

Let’s face it: this week is rather unexciting when it comes to Nintendo games. The mayhem erupts next week when titles such as Wii Music, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Chrono Trigger start arriving in store shelves. However, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t any games worth looking into.

Sonic the Hedgehog is back in the Nintendo DS, but it’s not quite the same Sonic that we’re used to. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is an RPG—and get this—the game is developed by Bioware, a developer known for critically-acclaimed RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Mass Effect.

Review Surfing: Disgaea DS (DS)
Laharl and company return in Disgaea DS
Some of us may be familiar with the addiction that Disgaea has inflicted, but so far, the effects have only been felt on the PlayStation 2, PSP, and PS3. Well, Disgaea DS could change all that. As the name suggests, this new Disgaea game is for the Nintendo DS, but is it as good as its PlayStation cousins?

Review Surfing – Spore Creatures (DS)

Is Spore Creatures remotely as good as Spore?
A lot has been said about Spore, the new magnum opus of The Sims-creator Will Wright. And just like The Sims, the main PC game of EA’s new franchise has given birth to spin-offs. In Spore’s case, EA has spawned Spore Creatures for the Nintendo DS. Is Spore Creatures as good as its PC cousin? If one were to compare each game by virtue of capability, of course the answer is no.
