    Yes, Real Heroes is a little rough around the edges but when you are in the thick of gameplay that won't matter as you get pulled into the world of firefighting.
  2. There are legions of kids out there that want to be firefighters and this game offers a little look into that career.
  3. This game is one of those, you will either really like it, or your really gonna hate it.

    The Epicenter Studios' game is a nice supplemental FPS if you're looking for a break from the usual and expected, and though the game has a few issues here and there that didn't get cleaned up before publish, it's a solid and impressive effort that's released at a hard to beat price.
  5. Although it's unavoidable that some players won't be able to get past the graphics, those that do will be treated to an entertaining and worthwhile experience for a system that currently boasts the highest shovelware-to-keeper ratio I think I've ever seen.

    This is a taste of how the controls of the Nintendo Wii can really make a game more immersive. Give the guys at
