How lucky are we to be at E3? GoldenEye lucky. We went hands-on with GoldenEye's most popular feature: multiplayer. Yes, there will be on-line multiplayer, but being demoed was the classic 4-player split screen and it's just as fun as you remember it.
GoldenEye will support both Nintendo's Pro Controller and Wiimote+nunchuck configuration. We tried the..... [ read more ] Jun 16

Nintendo did. They are bringing GoldenEye 007 back to their flagship home console doing an end around to what many in the industry thought was a vice-grip on the property by Rare and its owner, Microsoft.
How did Big N and Activision pull it off on the Wii?
I'm glad you asked. The answer is easier than you think. No legal battles, just plain simple..... [ read more ] Jun 16
Finally, my chance to go up close and personal with Conduit 2, and it's awesome. I totally enjoyed The Conduit and knowingly overlooked some of it's flaws. High Voltage could've just taken the same game and updated a few level designs and I would've been happy to buy and play the sequel. Instead, in true High Voltage fashion, they put even more love into Conduit 2 and I can honestly say,..... [ read more ] Jun 03
800 Wii Points will buy you this week's one and only addition (after a few weeks of drought) to the Wii VC library. It's decent enough and we're calling it fun enough to buy.
Take Nintendo's classic NES Wild Gunman, throw in a healthy mix of arcade classic Cabal and you pretty much have Wild Guns.
Both components are solid games and would be totally cool if they showed up on Wii VC. Doesn't..... [ read more ] May 23
Elevator Action has a little place in my heart. No matter how many times I play it, it's just fun. I don't really get why, but it is.
The NES version is an exact arcade translation. What you see is exactly (with maybe some slight color differences here and there) what you got in the arcades.
Premise is simple. You are a super secret agent or industrial spy, does it matter? Your job: to..... [ read more ] May 22
Basketball games from 8-bit gaming and back tend to be pretty basic. Not a lot of depth as the players basically stand still and kind of throw a brick back and forth. If you were looking for some action, it was usually one-on-one style. Even those games had poor depth to say the least. The "Larry Bird" type player couldn't move, but could sink 3-pointers and jump shots from anywhere. While..... [ read more ] May 18
Kirby Super Star hit Wii VC yesterday. Did you get it yet? If you haven't, you need to. Now.
Platform fun at one of it's best. There's a lot to enjoy here, that I had to split the reviews into two parts. Yesterday was all about the main game, the platform adventure part.
Today, is all about the mini-games. There are three that I've unlocked, although one of the third is actually a part..... [ read more ] May 17
Almost a month of nothing on Wii VC, except for a bunch other stuff, and Nintendo rewards our patience with Kirby Super Star (SNES, Wii VC). It's well worth it if you're a fan of the pink marshmallow and a great introduction to Kirby if it's your first time.
Review aside, I'm still PO'd at Nintendo for basically doing squat.
Don't think "gifting" me with Kirby's cuteness is going to get me..... [ read more ]
