    A great game worthy of a purchase. Get your kill on!

    Short, but terrifying. Buy it, enjoy it, wet the bed later.

    Another excellent portable Zelda title in almost every respect; Spirit Tracks will keep you entertained for a good while just don't expect huge leaps and bounds in terms of innovation.
    • 75 Metascore

    What it could have been is great, what it actually is, is pretty average.

    No fun at all, once you’ve done the first mission, you’ve done them all.

    There isn't really a lot to say about this game other than "it exists". It will annoy kids and bore everyone else.

    So as Jambo Safari threatens to reinvent itself it becomes a jack of all trades, though master only of what it originally was: an arcade cabinet that this old codger loved back in the day but one that should have probably stayed there.

    A truly great Mario title and a bold and brilliant new multiplayer direction for the series. Buy it now!
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While fans will no doubt rejoice at having a new PSO game to play making it their new 'habit' others may nofind it quite as 'compelling' but make no mistake, if you have the time to put into it this is a game that will keep on giving for a long time.

    Treyarch have built on last year’s success and really worked hard to ensure that Wii gamers are not left out when it comes to great shooters.

    While we were worried Planet Moon Studios couldn’t live up to the usual quality of 5th Cell, the team has put out a decent Wii platformer that anyone can admire, despite the targeted, younger demographic.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    SDvR2010 improves on its previous edition in a number of ways especially with the new Story Designer mode yet still managing to not reach its full potential. If you have 2009, unless you really need an updated roaster I see little incentive to update.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    FIFA 10 goes for style over substance and delivers in parts. Yet the shallow gameplay and lack of realism go a long way to pushing this towards the kiddie market. A real shame for long-time FIFA aficionados.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mario may be monopolising the classic platformer this season, but A Boy and His Blob definitely fills a gap on Wii with its brain-bending challenges. A gorgeous visual look to boot makes it well worthy of gem-status on the market.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mario and Sonic return with slicker, more varied events, yet its still only the Dream Events which really hold the entire package together.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A decent-but-lacking adventure mode mixes some great and lackluster events, while multiplayer is a blast to play.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Horror games have not been at their peak for a few years now and Ju-On: The Grudge is not the game to spark new life into the genre. Wii owners would be advised to wait to see how the more promising Silent Hill: Shattered Memories turns
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An amazing experience, nothing more, nothing less.
    • 45 Metascore

    Wacky World of Sports is certainly wacky but is just another party title that will be hitting the bargain bins.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    TMNT: Smash Up does so much right in the ring that it’s a shame that it is sucker punched by a shallow character roster, lack of battle arenas and poor presentation.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A very slow SRPG that feels more like an interactive novel. Its characters and story might make it worthwhile for fans, but if Bleach is not your thing, steer clear of it.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It’s hard to find glaring flaws in the game and it’s even harder not to love it, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story deserves the title of the best Mario RPG and it’s a must have game.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Precise controls and a simple yet solid game concept make for an addictive gameplay experience that is well worth the Points!

    Harmonix has laid down the gauntlet for all future ‘tribute’ band games. The Beatles: Rockband ensures a splendid time is guaranteed for all.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Colorz lures you in with its lavish colours & test to your coordination skills but it takes difficulty a step too far, unless you like your hard games with a side of cruelty. But if you’re looking for a multiplayer game, it’s a fun cooperative experience
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    With more tweaks, features and content than most Wii titles ever see, GH5 provides a unique and essential music title that all Wii owners should experience.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Siege of Spinner Cay feels better than the first chapter in nearly every aspect, so even if it still has its problems, fans should give it a try.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Limited replayability but if you enjoy your horror games tense with a good story you should enjoy this.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    An absolutely stunning collection of games that no self-respecting gamer should be without; Metroid Prime Trilogy is a landmark achievement in gaming that deserves to be played and enjoyed on the Wii in its ultimate form.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pandora’s Box is a highly successful result of what was certainly not an easy sequel to make.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Launch of the Screaming Narwhal is a good adventure game that mostly lives up to the series: the jokes are there and so is the series' feeling. But - considering the bad framerate and badly compressed audio the 1000 Wii Points this title costs may better be spent on the superior PC version.
    • 80 Metascore

    Wii Sports Resort is truly an experience like no other, offering truly real sports experiences and incredibly fun multiplayer modes.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A solid game, if a bit too average for today’s standards.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great little gem for all those who love maths puzzles.

    The Conduit is like a dwarf glamour model - irresistible despite its shortness.

    Ghostbusters is a title oozing with charm and dripping with high presentation values.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Best for darts fans with spare money. Has potential that will hopefully be worked on for next year.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    One for the younger members of the family or those of you who think hedgehogs rule.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It’s a shame that the game is brought down by repetition and difficult controls. It could have honestly been a lot more fun to play.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Prope did amazingly well with Let's Tap but don't be fooled by Let's Catch as it is nowhere near as fun and is unreasonably priced in comparison; here is hoping that the companies next Wii-ware venture proves to be more successful.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Prope proves a simple concept can go a very long way, and while the experience won't last forever its a game you'll remember.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The most realistic tennis game on Wii, the title's depth will be challenging to some but a joy for others.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Although there is a rock-bed of solid tennis mechanics at play, the weak serve mechanics and ‘play it safe’ mantra leave this title shy of being a true champion.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    EA show us that they are one of Wii’s greatest advocates. Tiger Woods 10 provides a sublime genre-defining experience. Just make sure you have MotionPlus!
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A decent return to form for a classic series that manages to combine the old with the new delivering an enjoyable experience for everyone that is entertaining on almost every level.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Competently delivered yet frustratingly unambitious, Pirates: Duels on the High Seas will leave most gamers cold. Best left to drift away with the flotsam and jetsam.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Solid gameplay, but lacking in features.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a pleasant game, but that's about it.

    Interesting concept, terrible execution.
    • 83 Metascore

    As with all the third versions made after the main two, this offers something a little different for you. And this seems to offer the most extras to gamers than previous versions.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Highly entertaining and violently satisfying; perfect for anyone who is looking for some variety on the Wii.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sonic in name only, this is yet another example of an experimental series off-shoot that while nicely presented does little in the way of gameplay to convince fans.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A successful transition to the RTS genre. With FMVs, long lifespan and nice graphics, it's definently worth considering picking up if you're in to RTS games.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A game that is fun to play from beginning to end and will have you laughing during the whole thing which shall hopefully show that the Wii isn’t just for children.
    • 74 Metascore

    LIT
    If you like puzzle games, you might want to check LiT out, and if darkness and monsters are up your alley all the more reason to get it. Just prepare for a few rage fits.
    • 66 Metascore

    It may not be as epic in length as some blockbuster titles but everything about Another Code: R is uniquely charming and makes it a joy to play from start to finish.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rygar is an admirable revamp of a once classic NES game, it is still a port of a six year old title though and it shows; however it's still worthy of attention if you missed it the first time around and are looking for a reasonably competent adventure game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    For the wealth of quality that has been put into this title plus the enjoyment to be had from it this really is something that deserves to be in every shoot 'em up fans DS collection.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Sumptuous graphics and slick presentation meet satisfying FPS action and innovative story-telling.
    • 68 Metascore

    Not terrible, but if you like this sort of game, the Wii or PC versions would be much better.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mushroom Men uses modern presentation values and wonderful artistry to present what is essentially an old-school N64 era platformer. The result? A game you can’t help but fall in love with.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Chrono Trigger achieves a level of quality that most games today still haven't achieved, and it's a perfect example of balanced game design.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A thoroughly decent strategy affair, and a fine diluting of a PC classic. If you're a series fan and missed out on Age of Kings, then Mythologies is a worthy addition to your collection.
    • 81 Metascore

    Sizzling just below perfection yet leaving a pleasant taste in the mouth, Cooking Guide is a unexpectedly novel idea pulled off successfully
    • 66 Metascore

    Astounding day levels gives exactly what fans want.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great game at heart, newcomers should pick it up immediately, others proceed with caution.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It’s classic Call of Duty, and that instantly makes it a must-buy.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A simple game which doesn’t require much brain power, a no-nonsense fun game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The story mode is great even if the character choice is limited. And while the gameplay is very arcade like it's still enjoyable by either upping the difficulty or playing with mates. Online is fun too unless your unlucky enough to get bad lag.

    Unless you really need to play a wrestling game while away from home, avoid and stick to the home console version.

    FIFA 09 is let down by a jack of all trades master of none approach.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is as uncomplicated and fun as it can get. Fun for all ages.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Because this game has a steep difficulty curve, you’ll consider it an insult if you don’t keep going back until you’ve nailed that section/boss.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Web of Shadows goes its own way and, plays better for it. But while Treyarch seem confident of their story telling, their overall lack of technical mastery and ability to create an enjoyable combat mechanic kills any enjoyment past the first few hours.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A hilarious game that highlights the pros and cons of the point and click genre.

    Dark Souls is very similar to The Blade of Fate with improvements. Still one of the best fighting games currently available on the DS. Addictive? Definently!

    NBA Live 09 really nails the All-Play subtitle and is an enjoyable outing when your taking to the court with friends. But play it on your own and both the cheap-shot exploits and ugly looks make it a title you’ll soon tire of.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun RPG while it lasts, but can wear thin over time. Great visuals and level design help overcome some missed potential.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A great game that plays homage to every disaster and action movie ever. It's great fun, brilliantly atmospheric and is only dragged down slightly by some poor graphics and occasional poor pyshics.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Samba De Amigo is still a quality rhythm-action title even today and while it's best played in relatively short bursts in single player, it's the multiplayer that will keep you coming back for just one more go.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It seems impossible to dislike De Blob. Linear and slightly repetitive it may be, but it's the most colourful and ambitiously fresh project the Wii's seen to date.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliant return to the roots with fantastic level design and tight gameplay.
    • 83 Metascore

    Brand new classic Mega Man action that gamers will love, even the intense difficulty!
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The enjoyable story, decent combat and overall play mechanics are dragged down by linear level design and a lack of graphical effort, making this title stop just short of being a true force to be reckoned with.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite its graphical shortcomings, camera trouble and repetitiveness, the lightsaber and Force controls were pretty much nailed, making SW:TFU a good action game and an experience that many gamers have been asking for since the unveiling of the Wii.

    Hell’s Kitchen is an example of how something so simple can become so addictive. You will find yourself going back to increase your final score.

    With none of the scope seen in the PC version, Spore: Creatures is a poor alternative. It’s a quirky & great looking, but soon ends up killing itself with repetitive gameplay and dull puzzles.

    Whether you’re clubbing together playing online, feeling true-to-life golf motions or getting lost in the inviting single and multiplayer modes, Tiger Woods ’09 on Wii is the golf game to experience. One of the best golfing experiences you can ever have.
    • 76 Metascore

    Bucketloads of humour, an involving and relatively challenging gameplay experience, lots of references and continuity for long time fans, and generally a fun game to play.

    With great graphics and stellar gameplay, GRID offers DS owners a fantastic console experience on the go. It’s more of the same, but with more vehicles, tracks and customisation options GRID will keep all who play it race-happy.

    For a first shot at a WiiWare title, it’s not a horrendous effort from Oxygen, though it is overpriced. It can be good fun, but that feeling just doesn't last long enough.

    Yet another Movie tie-in falls victim to an evident lack of effort or ambition from it's developer and so ends up being nothing more than the latest in a long line of crudely cobbled together cash-ins that are an insult to gaming itself.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It’s a good game, spoiled by its flaws. It deserves to be hated and loved in equal measure

    Alone In The Dark is a truly shining example of both how to make a bad game and how to over-hype a game. Avoid.

    Guitar Hero On Tour is a good conversion of the console facemelter, but will not become your main source for rocking out. Best saved for when your travelling/on holiday and just can’t go without a Guitar Hero fix.

    "The Incredible Hulk: The Official Videogame" is a lacklustre, technically poor experience that you really can afford to miss.
