Rabbids: Go Home: A Comedy Adventure

Rabbids Go Home: A Comedy Adventure is well made and enjoyable adventure game by Ubisoft. The game is quite slow at the beginning, but it will become more interesting as players go deeper inside the journey. It has a great character designer and creator, and players can unlock variable things by collecting things that is available inside the game. The game might become repetitive but since players are more likely to be attracted to collect things to unlock new items, the repetitiveness is still bearable. Rabbids Go Home is certainly a fun adventure, and can be considered as a must have.

Verdict: 7.5/10

My Sims: Sky Heroes

My Sims: Sky Heroes is another game by EA to be launched under the My Sims franchise for Nintendo Wii. This game is the combination of personal simulation and flight simulation, thus meaning that this is the double simulation game. However, this game is quite a disappointment when the games only focuses on two types of game; races and aerial dogfight. Players might find this game being repetitive with a shallow game play. It is quite sad to see an unsuccessful My Sims franchise, however we hope that EA wouldn't be afraid to publish more excellent My Sims games in the future.

Verdict: 3/10

Sonic and The Black Knight

Sonic and the Black Knight is the third Sonic Platformer to come on Nintendo Wii. Sega brings their main character back to the time of King Arthur to have a glimpse of what will Sonic be in the Middle-Ages. Some might consider that is a recipe to success, however Sonic and Knights just didn't mix. The visuals are nice, however the shortcomings of uninteresting gameplay, sluggish and dull combats are just too dominant. Sonic and the Black Knight achievement is not so rewarding and players might feel that there is no depth in the game as a whole.

Verdict: 4.5/10

Lego: Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures


Lego Indiana Jones: Original Adventure is a game by Lucas Art combining the cuteness of Lego and the funny side of Indiana Jones. Following the success of Lego: Star Wars The Complete Saga, Lego comes back with a new inspiring and funny Indiana Jones story line. Players can change between characters to use each of the characters special ability to pass quests. The offline cooperative gameplay is great and with tons of replay value, this game is certainly a great buy. 

Verdict: 8/10

Rock Band 2

After the success of the million copy sell of the first series, Rock Band 2 come out with a new set list and improved instruments. For some, these improvement might be considered as minor, but Rock Band 2 still rocks. Same as the first series, this game is great to played alone and became better if it is played with friends. All the musical peripherals for the previous game can be used together with this game, there is no need to buy a new one. Individually, Rock Band 2 is a great game on its own, but there is no big point in buying this game if the player has already had the original one.

Verdict: 8.5/10

EA has done a better job in this game compared to its previous instalment, Medal of Honor: Vanguard. This game has an impressive 32 online play mode, making this game one of the best game in the genre. Even though the AI is quite numb minded, the solid online play has certainly covers up all the weaknesses. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is a must have.

Verdict: 8/10

No More Heroes


No More Heroes is a Grand-Theft-Auto like action game from Ubisoft exclusively made for Nintendo Wii. This game has a mature content and easily said, this game has no other comparable to it. No More Heroes intelligently uses the motion control, where players are able to wield a laser sword (yeah like light saber) and swing it all over the place to fight enemies. This game has a joyous stylized action making it awesome to watch and to play. Kudos to Ubisoft for bringing No More Heroes to the limelight, action with motion control game is a new way to go.

Verdict: 9.5/10

There are more than a 100 type of fishes available in this game and each of them is very detail. Players will have a rewarding feeling when they are able to land big fish in this game. However, some might find this game a little bit repetitive and grew boring of it after a short while. The other problem with this game is the fishing spots are not as beautiful as what a fishing fan will always see when they're fishing. This game is a great arcade like fishing game. A nice one with a lot of places to improve.

Verdict: 6.5/10

Raving Rabbids: Travel In Time

Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time is the first Rabbids game that has dropped Rayman from the title. However it doesn't mean that the quality of the game has dropped. This game party from Ubisoft doesn't disappoint anybody. Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time has many mini-games like any previous Raving Rabbids games. Now players can dance, rhythming and even fly with the cute Rabbids. Dressing up your Rabbids that has been introduced in Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is also back.

Sonic Unleashed

Sonic Unleashed is the second Sonic platformer game on Nintendo Wii from Sega. Only this time, depending on stages and levels, Sonic can be either a hedgehog or a werehog. There are a lot of hedgehog levels in the game, however there are a very lot more werehog stages in the game. The combat and fight in this game are repetitive and mindless. Even with those setbacks, Sonic Unleashed pay back with an awesome control and incredible graphics. This fast paced 3D platformer is a good buy.

Verdict: 7/10

This game is well made and the characters are lovable. Even though this Lego game has many things that was recycled from previous Lego games, this game is still a good game for those who like Lego and/or Star Wars.

Verdict: 7/10

Medal of Honour: Vanguard

Medal of Honor: Vanguard is the first game from the Medal of Honor franchise to ever ported to Nintendo Wii. This EA game is a historical First Person Shooter game that brings the players back to World War II. Players will fight as Frank Keegan against the Italy, France, Netherlands and Germany. There is some serious problem with this game registering any hit, because players will need to shoot several times before it count as a hit. A lot of the weapons have a bad range, and players needed to come near to be able to shoot effectively. Medal of Honor: Vanguard is a mediocre game, with a lot of parts able to be improved. There are other World War II FPS games, and it is better to get the others for the time being.

Verdict: 4/10

Unlike any other game in this genre, Beatles: Rockband also has vocal harmonies which added exciting elements in this game. Players are not limited to only play their instruments, but they are also needed to sing to the songs. There are a lot of great Beatles songs included in the game, however there are some big titles that missed this game. The music and the graphics are brilliantly arranged. This game is great fun to play with friends, highly recommended.

The Gamecube version requires players to use a pair of bongo in order to control Donkey Kong across the platforms. In this New Play Control, players will only need to use the Wii Remote to control the character across the platforms. The ingenuity of Gamecube game is surely transferred to this Nintendo Wii version. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is a fun game to play. Nintendo is surely the best at making their own game for their own console.

Sonic & the Secret Rings is the first Sonic retail game to ever come to Nintendo Wii. This game by Sega is a 3D action game with Sonic as the main character. Players will play as Sonic the hedgehog and run as fast as they can and gather as much rings as they can. The graphics in this game is excellent making it easier for players to be immersed into the game. The levels are cleverly designed and the game is very rewarding. However, as the Sonic is very fast and requires precision, there are times when Sonic and the Secret Rings do have some control glitches.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex


Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition is one of the best game I have ever played on Nintendo Wii. Even though this game is a year late than its other counterpart on PS3 and Xbox 360, it doesn't really matter. Better late than never. There is nothing different between Reflex edition and PS3 and Xbox 360 version except the controller pointing style. For me, this game is as best game as an FPS can be. The storyline is great, the levels is challenging, and the controls are great. Activision should have make the game to be sold the same time with other consoles. I just hope that they will produce Call of Duty Modern Warfare II on Nintendo Wii soon.

Verdict: 9.5/10
