Skate It Review
SKATE IT is a sequel to the original game skate, that was only released on the Play station 3 and Xbox 360. Now the adventure has finally come to the wii and the controls have succeeded most peoples expectations. I mean, it feels like you are skating in your own living room. This game has a pretty normal plot, the typical rags-to-riches story, but it adds a twist since you are in a town which has been mysteriously ravaged and evacuated by an unknown cause. Now you and your cameraman are the only people in own and your job is to SKATEBOARD. But it isn't just a regular skateboarding game either, you skateboard in stages in which you have to do many missions in order to get sponsored and be named the Skater of the Year. This makes the game a lot more entertaining and it makes your final goal clear. The campaign will last you around 8 hours, going from one task to another with brisk missions that keep the game fast paced. You won't always be in America too. You will go to other places like Shanghai and Barcelona to skateboard and that provides a new and fresh gameplay. The controls are fairly easy, but are the best during the Wii Balance Board and Wii Remote combo. Though the moves never come up the same, it really feels like you are skateboarding in the actual streets. Though the wii balance board is great for the gameplay, it may leave you with a bit of a backache by the end of it all. There are many mini games in the multi player mode like the highest score or the best tricks which also creates a great multiplayer experience. The city is filled with rubble and debris which creates a good environment for your favorite tricks and stunts. The characters aren't that customizable but it wouldn't really change the game if it were. The music is great for the skateboarding theme since it is all Rock. This game is great if you just want to pass your time and for that reason I have PASSED this game.

SHaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip Review
Sorry I couldn't post yesterday, today I will make up for it by posting 2 two reviews. This is the first one.
SHAUN WHITE SNOWBOARDING: ROAD TRIP is a fun and exciting new Wii game that uses both the wii remote and the wii balance board which creates a very intuitive control scheme. This game didn't do good on the other systems because their controls, but the wii version is sure to be a hit. This game doesn't stick to the same old boring coin catching snowboarding game that eventually gets really boring. This game focuses on tricks and points which creates a game which never seems to get boring. This game is about going around the world to look for Shaun White while you snowboard at fictional resorts. The main idea of the gameplay is to try to do as many tricks as you can on each course. This both provides fun when you are having fun on your favorite slopes, but you have a time limit to stay in. Though you have a time limit, there is usually enough time to finish the level comfortably so there is really no need to rush. You go through each level and collect new characters who then join your team. Each character has a different personality so they are good at different things. You can also race other snowboarders which gives a new twist to the game. The last part of each level is about collecting things. They are usually located on a grind rail or on a slope so they are fairly easy to locate. To get them you' ll need to pull of a lot of cool and interesting stunts which will entertain you while your playing. In co - op you can race with your buddies or just play the campaign with them. You can play with up to three of your friends in the co-op mode. The camera is also great which gives you a heads up when a tree is coming up or helps you get ready for a very high jump. The graphics are very cartoony which provides a cool feel to the whole game. There are also many obstacles that raise the level of difficulty so that the game isn't too easy, yet it isn't to hard. When the snowboarders fall it is also very realistic because they look like they are in pain, and when they get up they are completely covered in sow. This game lets you hit the slopes in the safety of your home, but it feels like you are actually snowboarding. For that reason, I have PASSED this game.

Sonic Unleashed Review
Sonic Unleashed is an action-packed game that involves your favorite blue character Sonic the hedgehog. This game starts off in an evil geniuses lab. He is blowing up some of the planets. This causes Sonic to have a weird reaction it turns him into a werehog. When sonic turns into a werehog (which only happens at night) he grows in size and loses his speed which causes him to have a bigger urge to fight. When the stages are in daylight, you rejoin your favorite character as he runs through rings and jumps to his destinations. You play most stages as the werehog since this game is set around fighting, but the sonic stages feel like a new reality as it feels like more of a different game. But the night stages are less exciting and more about using the same repetitive wii moves to fight some very forgettable villains. They are still enjoyable since most of the night levels are also about navigation. The graphics are great in this game and so are the camera angles. The camera angles move around as you run on the loops and it is still in high resolution as you fight your enemies too. The most enjoyable part of the game is the view when you are flying trough the levels as the hedgehog. The controls are very responsive and can be changed for your enjoyment. Sonic Unleashed for the Wii is completely different from its high-definition counterparts, and is stronger for that. The hedgehog's speed is captured quite well here, letting you fly through levels with ease. The werehog sections are a bit too plodding, but the platforming sections are still quite enjoyable. It's just a shame that you'll spend more of your time controlling the werehog than the hedgehog. Even if you have to endure a few too many werehog fights, it's still worth playing through this adventure just to see Sonic sprint again. For these reasons, i have PASSED this game.

Previews
This is my first previews post for this blog.
Do you want to cook in the World Kitchen, how about going to the himalayan mountains or fighting off a group of zombies in a mysterious mansion. These are just the things you can do in some of the upcoming Wii games.
Cooking Mama: World Kitchen is a sequel to the first cooking game to come out on the wii. In the first game you were cooking mama and you helped her in her kitchen. This time you are on of her new apprentices and you are fighting for her attention. You still use the wii remote to slice, dice and stir you food but this time your in a race with the other apprentices. This game will be a fun game for parties since you and your friends can be the 4 apprentices. It is going to be released by the end of this year.
Cursed Mountain is an upcoming Horror game set in the Himalayan Mountains. You are a hiker and you have to go in to the mountains to save your brother who is under a tibetan curse. You need to go to the summit of the mountain and that is your ultimate goal. But as he climbs the mountain the deprivation of oxygen gets to him and he starts to hallucinate. He can't tell fact from fiction. The thick fog adds a horror aspect to his game because ghosts of tibetan monks who are angry at you will jump out at you from the middle of nowhere. Though the action to get them away is quite easy, the fear that will consume you will slow down your reflexes. This will all lead up to the climax of where your brother is. The release date is To Be Announced.
House Of Dead: Overkill is a zombie killer game, just like the others in the series. This games has a slightly different feel to it though. This time the gun is displayed on the screen which gives it a more realistic feel. The zombies are still everywhere but now you have a partner which will help you during the game. This game is just meant for fun so the lines will surely make you laugh. You will follow a trail in Louisiana where many people have mysteriously gone missing. You will fight huge groups of zombies with your partner and this game is definitely going to be packed with action. The release date is targeted for February 2009.
You will surely be seeing the reviews of this game on my site so stay tuned for more posts
Catlevania Judgment Review
Castlevania Judgment is a one- on -one fighter game which first showed up on the gamecube, and now its in the wii. This game did have a lot of hype but it seems like it has completely letdown the fans. I mean, the bad camera angles, lack of story line and completely chaotic gameplay makes this game a loser. Lets start of with the story line...Wait, there isn't one. The main goal of this game is to fight with people, get new characters and fight with more people. It seems like they tried to hard to separate itself from the last game, but it leaves you in utter boredom by the end of the game. There are no new characters, the same weapons with a few exceptions and the same settings. They had so long to make this game and they had t screw things up. Now lets move on to the camera angles. Have you ever tried fighting someone when you body is in the way of what they are doing? Well that is exactly what happens in this game. The camera moves way to fast and it makes it harder for you to beat the character that you are fighting. You cant see anything they are doing and they eventually kill you while you are trying to move the camera. Now the worst part arrives, the gameplay. It is very choppy and it just goes from one scene to the next without any information that can help you with what you are doing. You run around and get lost many times since there is no instructions of what you are supposedly supposed to be doing and then the dialogue. Worst dialogue ever. The sound is just horrible because you hear this low squeaking sound in the background. Multiplayer is sure a lot better than the campaign because you are actually challenging someone who doesn't just stand there when he is about to get hit. All in all, while this game may be entertaining to the people who like one - to - one fighters, the people who like a story line and smart dialogue will be left wanting more. Since I am one of those people who likes intelligent dialogue and a good story line, I have FAILED this game.

The Wii Zapper Review
The Wii Zapper is a fun and intuitive gun shaped holder for the wii remote and nunchuck. It works great with First Person Shooter games such as Resident Evil and Call of Duty. It also comes with a great mini game called "Link Crossbow Training". even though the wii zapper has an awkward like hold, it is a great addition to the wii. It is quite delicate though, so make sure you handle it with care. The trigger is located near the front and it is connected to the nunchuck. Also the front of the gun has a place for the wii mote which is the pointer that you aim with to shoot things with in the games that use this. The wires connecting the two are hidden so it wont bother you during the games. Now i will talk about the game that is bundled with the zapper. Link Crossbow Training is meant to introduce you to the wii zapper. It has 3 parts in one level. The first part of each level involves you shooting many targets. Wether they are moving or standing still, the targets are quite hard to hit. The second part of each level involves you shooting either more targets or the "bad guys" from the Twilight Princess game. These levels involve you using the nunchuck to direct yourself which can be a challenge at times. The final levels involve the bosses. The first few bosses are easy to beat but as you proceed they start to get harder. The final boss is quite hard but once you get the rhythm of things you can easily predict his next move. Then the challenging part of this game is the medals. You have to get 20,000 points to get a bronze which is easy. To get a silver you need 40,000 and this is pretty hard to get. To get a gold you need 60,000 and this is almost impossible to get. I have not gotten one gold yet. All in all the Wii Zapper is worth the price, especially since it include Link Crossbow Training. Therefore I have PASSED this game.

Animal Crossing: City Folk Review
Hello and i am sorry i could not post yesterday. Today i will make up for it by posting many previews and reviews.
ANIMAL CROSSING: CITY FOLK is a game that requires your patience and your absolute concentration. It is a game directed toward the casual gamers who own the wii. This game is about building your own town with your customizable character and starting your own life. You go around town meeting the townspeople and earn money (bells). You earn bells by collecting seashells or bugs and selling them to Tom Nook, a local shop owner. You can also plant money trees, dig to find items, break money rocks or buy a fishing rod and collect fish for money (bells). With the bells that you have you can then either pay of your house, upgrade your house or just go on a shopping spree. This game has many cute characters which provide a large amount of dialogue which both entertains and provides you with needed information. This is also the first game that can be played withe the Wii Speak peripheral. You can visit any one of your friends towns but first you need their friend codes. If you don't have any friends you can go to many gaming websites like Gamespot or IGN and look at their forums to look for people who want to be friends for you. Be careful when someone comes to your town because they can steal your bugs or ruin your garden and just piss you off. The new feature in this game that separates it from the other two animal crossing games is the town. The town is a place where you can give your character a new hairstyle, buy very expensive furniture and clothes or you can visit the auction house and buy things that other people have put for sale. This game sure requires a lot of your time but once you pay off your mortgage and start gathering bells this game starts to become worth it. After much thought and consideration I have PASSED this game. WII will see you later.

Call Of Duty: World At War Review
Here is my third review.
CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR Re visits the combat fields of World War II, it visits the realistic locations of the main combat fields in Germany and Japan . It also has many dramatic story elements make this trip to the past feel serious yet not the same as the other games. The remote and Nunchuk perform great in combat, despite a few missteps, but the Wii Zapper was just meant for this game. The great variety of weapons make firefights intense and satisfying. In the campaign, you play as two soldiers. The first is a Russian soldier, who along woth his team try to push out of their homeland and into the heart of Germany . And then the American soldier who struggles to wrest Pacific islands from the Japanese. You will alternate between them every few levels, though the campaign feels like one solid progression thanks to the clear and concise level transitions. Each soldier's journey begins at a low point. They have no weapons and are surrounded by the enemy. In this game you feel the despair that many soldiers have never forgotten. The emotional tone eventually rises from despair to triumph. The first few levels are quite hard since you and your fellow soldiers are desperately trying to gain a victory for your country, whereas later levels are all about the hard won battles and the soon to come triumph as you get closer and closer to the capitols of the nations. Each level has an unique yet surprisingly familiar background as each is set in a new and war distressed city. Each level has a head officer which tells you where to go and what to do while setting the tone with a dark and action packed dialogue. If you thought that this was cool wait till you hear about the online multiplayer. Take your skills online and start playing in World at War's excellent multiplayer system. The thing that hooks you in is the experience points, which you gain by winning matches or completing one of the many of the in-game challenges (such as getting a certain amount of headshots). As you earn these points, you'll rank up and earn access to new weapons, and new accessories (such as sights and suppressors), and new and creative perks. Perks are special moves that give you a variety of bonuses, but you can only choose three. This introduces many new and creative customizations. The multiplayer is great for the price. All in all this game is well worth the money for the campaign, yet alone the massive online multiplayer. Therefore, I am absolutely positive that this game is definitely PASSED. Thank you and be sure to stay tuned to my blog for more reviews and previews for upcoming games. WII will see you later.

Super Smash Brothers Review
Hello again. Here is my second review.
SUPER SMASH BROTHERS BRAWL is an action packed game based on the hit game cube game. This game starts off when you pick from a huge variety of Nintendo characters from previous games. You choose your character and fight with either a computer or a friends. You then fight with special moves and after a time limit the person who was killed the most loses. This game is very addicting and you have probably already heard of it from the hype it got during the release. The stages are very creative and they are from previous nintendo games too. Some involve a moving screen, some involve things you have to do in the middle of a battle and some are just meant for the regular fights. This game also has a campaign mode which has an intriguing title. The Subspace Missionary is a game where you start off with the basic nintendo characters like Mario, Link and others. You then travel across many nintendo stages from different games and meet previous characters so that they then join your team. The final level gets tricky when your stuck in a maze and you have to fight with the evil versions of the nintendo characters on your team. After you are done you get the final two characters. This game also has an exhilarating multiplayer mode which grabs a hold of you and never lets go. You fight with people from all over the world while you are gaining points and slowly climbing up the world ranks. All in all this game never does really end so it is well the worth the money you pay for it. This games multiplayer must be on of the best ones on the wii and due to that, this game has PASSED. Remember to check back with us since I am now going to start the more recent games that have just been released. WII will see you later

Super Mario Galaxy Review
This game created quite a buzz last christmas so i decided to do my first review on this game.
SUPER MARIO GALAXY is a fun and family friendly game that is great for a single player. The basic storyline is Bowser attacks Mario's home town and kidnaps Princess Peach. Bowser takes her into space to keep her in his space castle. Mario meets Rosalie, a princess who has friends named staries. You collect them in each level so you can gain points. Bowser threatens to exterminate them so Mario, the main character goes on a gravity defying, fun adventure. A few of his friends also join him like the toad family and his brother Luigi. This game has long levels which is a plus since it does not really have a great story line. The levels start to change a but when mario can turn into a bee Mario or even a fire Mario. The levels can sometimes get frustrating and a bit confusing but the Spectacular graphics make up for the lack of storyline. This game also has some very cool levels like a penguin surfing level and a level where you are in a magical candy land. Even though you don't have to finish all the levels to beat Bowser, the final level is great. The game is not too difficult , but not to easy which makes it very enjoyable. This creates the perfect environment for a calm and relaxing gameplay experience. This game has a great one player format but the 2 player format is not so good. The second player is a star whose only job is to catch starries which ends up getting really boring. All in all, I believe that is game was worth the money for the single player campaign experience and it definitely entertained me for a very long time. This is a must have for every wii console owner so I have therefore, PASSED this game. I hope you all have a fun time traveling the galaxy and remember to check back daily for new game reviews.WII will see you later
