SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny
The tale of souls and swords goes portable.
Although Broken Destiny is nothing more than a portable version of Soulcalibur IV (with Kratos along for the ride), the game is visually stunning and the size of the roster is admirable. What's most impressive about Soul... Read Full Review

Skate 3
More of the same good thing but with few features to call its own.<br />
Skate 3 is by no means a disappointing addition to the series, but those who sunk their cash into last year's Skate 2 really don't have much of a reason to take the plunge here. Thankfully the gameplay is still the most ... Read Full Review

Excitebike
Excitement Abound<br />
The game is ridiculously addictive. Even after coming in 22nd place you'll still want to try again. It's easy to get frustrated by the game's seemingly intent desire on making you suffer terribly, but lying underneath re... Read Full Review

The Conduit
Built from the ground up for Wii, the ambitious FPS is finally here. Has it been worth the wait?
It's not revolutionary, but the Conduit is a great first-person shooter designed just for Wii owners. While the game does not turn the genre upside-down, it is innovative in certain areas -- for example, it features the ... Read Full Review

BioHazard 4: Wii Edition
Two years later, Capcom's survival horror sequel still impresses, but is it made better on Wii?
I always approach a review like this with some level of caution. The original Resident Evil 4 was an exceptional effort and little has changed in the two years since it debuted. But there it is, right? It's a two-year-ol... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
It's set to be one of the biggest selling games of all time. Is it one of the greatest?
When you look at the total package, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is hands-down one of the best first-person shooters out there, and a truly amazing offering across any system. With that being said, our score comes with... Read Full Review

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Can Mario outshine his last platforming adventure on Wii?
I think the one thing you should take away from this review: Super Mario Galaxy 2 wholly exceeded my expectations. Leading up to the game's release I hadn't expected much more than simply "more of the same." I loved the ... Read Full Review

Tsumi to Batsu: Uchuu no Koukeisha
You'll be a glutton for Punishment.
I won't say Sin and Punishment: Star Successor should be in every Wii owner's library, because many of those people who bought the console to play Wii Sports or Wii Fit would be absolutely broken by this game's extreme d... Read Full Review

Pokemon Snap
Say cheese. The Pokemon hit N64 in this clever game and they aren't camera shy.
I have to admit that when I first learned of the concept behind Pokemon Snap I was not particularly impressed. I was expecting a game solely intended for a Pokemon-crazed Japanese audience. However, since that time Pikac... Read Full Review

Yoshi's Story

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Has the franchise racer advanced, or is it spinning its wheels?

Mario Kart 64
Mario Kart 64 proves that multiplayer gaming is a possibility on Nintendo 64.
Although it doesn't break any new grounds in originality , Mario Kart 64 is a great addition to the N64 line-up. The solid graphics, good sound, and addictive gameplay--coupled with features like being able to race yours... Read Full Review

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Now that it's in English, we can understand and get a little more enjoyment out of the pink guy.
Kirby is a clever little game that you'd almost like to think of as a pet. But make no mistake, Kirby is the amusement park prize goldfish of N64 games since most people will be through and done with this game, never to ... Read Full Review

Super Smash Bros.
I take on Nintendo's genre-busting mascot brawler.
I've been playing this Smash Bros. since its Japanese release -- and I still love the game. But I have to admit that I spent most of the time playing the multiplayer modes. It's not that the one-player mode is bad -- HAL... Read Full Review

Super Mario 64
In the greatest 3D world ever created, Nintendo's popular mascot makes a remarkable 64-bit debut.

Mario Party

Pokemon Stadium Kin Gin Crystal Version
Is the sequel to Pokemon Stadium different enough to warrant a purchase?

Donkey Kong 64
Huge worlds, deep mechanics, a never-ending scroll of things to do and most importantly, monkeys.
Well, Donkey Kong 64 has finally hit home and I think the wait has definitely been worth it. The game, while not the leap and bound that Donkey Kong Country was for Super NES, is still an excellent platformer all the sam... Read Full Review

God of War II
Intense, engaging and over the top, the PlayStation 2's swan song is as nearly perfect as they come.
God of War II may in fact be the best action game ever made. It outdoes the original God of War in every way, even if only by a tiny bit as the first was so good to begin with. It's an evolutionary step rather than a rev... Read Full Review
