Tiger Woods PGA Tours 12: Masters

Tiger Woods PGA Tours 12: Masters is the 2012 is a game from the Tiger Woods PGA Tours franchise. This game, like its predecessors have successfully translate the player's movement into the game, thanks to the Wii Motion Plus accessories. There is an addition to the masters and this game also adds a caddy function that will help player a little bit in the gameplay. The game also put more focus on career play, thus making this game the best simulator for golf on Nintendo Wii. Even though this game doesn't add much new gameplay when compared to its previous version, Tiger Woods PGA Tours 12: Masters is a great game to play. We hope that it will come back next year with better and more play modes.

Verdict: 8.5/10

Lego: Star Wars III: The Clone Wars

Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a game by LucasArt based on the movie of the same name. Like many other Lego games, players will be able to control several characters and try to solve all the puzzles by building and destroying Lego blocks. The game graphic design is nice and the drop-in-drop-out function is awesome. However, like the other Lego games, the respawning enemies is really tiring, making it difficult for players to solve puzzles while enemies attacking them from behind. There are also some small control problem and sometimes players won't really know what to do next because there is no clear mission objective. Lego: Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a good Lego game to play.

Verdict: 7/10

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End

Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End is a game from the film of the same name. This game lets players to play as the main characters and relive the story from the movie. The developer is successful in capturing the environment and the feeling of the movie and port it into this game. There are also a lot of extra bonuses that players can unlock from this game. However this game suffers from a dull repetitive combat, and the missions are not interesting. There aren't much done to its graphics quality and swinging the remote in sword fighting is too boring. Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End is a mediocre game, just like many other games that are ported from movies. 

Verdict: 4/10

Conduit 2


Conduit 2 is the sequel from the highly acclaimed FPS (first-person-shooter) game 'The Conduit'. As many might notice, there are not much FPS on Nintendo Wii, hence having this game is almost a must for Nintendo Wii owners that like the genre. This game is full of secrets in the levels waiting for players to unravel it. The game design is very nice, and the boss fights give players a sense of satisfaction. Even though this game has some controller issues, and the AI is not that intelligent, Conduit 2 is a good game that should get everybody's attention. Keep it coming Sega!

Verdict: 8.5/10

Eledees

Eledees (or Elebits in some country), is a shooting and hide-and-seek game by Konami made for Nintendo Wii. The game has a unique and addictive gameplay of shooting and puzzles. This game brilliantly uses the motion control of the Nintendo Wii. As shown in the box-art, this game is full of cute characters and accompanied with cuter environments to play in with. The game has a level editing mode where players can make and share their levels with their friends via online. However this game has a messy multiplayer and the graphics are not up to current visual level. Eledees is too easy, and not suitable for those who are searching for some challenge. 

Verdict: 7.5/10

Batman: The Brave And The Bold: The Videogame

Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The Videogame is one of the first Batman game to ever hit Nintendo Wii console. The game utilises the franchise very well by bringing the cartoon style Batman to fight all the evil in Gotham city. There a abundance of jokes during the cut scenes and gameplay. Furthermore, this game also have a multiplayer co-op that is very seamless and enjoyable. This action game also packed with a lot of gameplay style, that will certainly get the players being motivated throughout the game. Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The Videogame could have been great game, if only the game is a little bit harder.

Verdict: 7.5/10

Shaun White: Snowboarding: Road Trip

Shaun White Snowboarding is a snowboarding game by Ubisoft for Nintendo Wii. The game can be played with or without the Wii Balance Board. The game intelligently use the motion control and the Wii Balance board. The cartoony graphics were also welcome. This game also enjoy a multi-player mode where others could join in easily. Even so, this game does not have a character customisation option that some snowboarding fans would really love. There aren't many objective to achieve in this game, but thoroughly, Shaun White: Snowboarding: Road Trip is a great snowboarding game.

Karaoke Revolution: American Idol: Encore 2

This game has added three new venues from its predecessor, and again listing up 40 new songs inside the disk. This game also features the judges lineup from the American Idol, and players can hear their comments after each song. This game does not have any more addition from the first game, and buying this game will surely looks like a rehash. Karaoke Revolution American Idol Encore 2 is a singing game that one could pass. There is nothing special in it, and Konami should have made it a downloadable content instead of a new game.

Pac-Man Party

Pac-Man Party is a party game by Namco using their own Pac-Man franchise. For players who are eager to relive their memories of the old Pac-Man eating up all the dots, cherry, and ghosts, I'm afraid they are going to be disappointed. That is because this game does not have any resemblance with the ever challenging Pac-Man experience. This game is only a party game that requires players to get a random number, and play some mini games. The graphics are nice, and the learning curve is very easy. Little children can learn to play this game easily. Pac-Man Party is a suitable game for kids who are bringing their friend for sleepovers... nothing more.

Verdict: 5/10

Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack

Mad Dog: McCree: Gunslinger Pack is 3 shooter games that are successfully ported for Nintendo Wii. Instead of a computer generated targets like any other shooting game, this game uses a real life actors as targets. The players will feel like they're inside a western cowboy movie once they play this game. The game's rule is easy... shoot the bad guys and leave the innocent. Even though they use a life action people as target, the only problem with this game is that the enemies will always appear from the same place. Players just need to make sure where to target and this thing gets boring easily. This game just too easy, maybe suitable for those trying to get accustomed with the Wii Motion control. Mad Dog McCree is a mediocre game.

Verdict: 4/10

Geometry Wars: Galaxies is a futuristic shoot em up game by Sierra and Kuju entertainment. This intense shooter has a marvellous control accuracy that makes this game ever more engaging. The game is addictive and deep. It has a colourful and sharp graphics, just like other games in this franchise. There is an intense offline multiplayer game, however too bad the developer didn't go the extra miles to develop an online multiplayer mode that will surely be more engaging and add more replayability to this game. Geometry Wars: Galaxies is certainly a great shoot-em-up game if there is an online multiplayer. Even so, players will surely come back to this title just to have fun challenging friends offline.

Verdict: 8/10

Players are advisable to watch the movie first because this game is about the main protagonist, Tiana reminiscing her experience throughout the whole ordeal of becoming a princess. This game is practically a compilation of many mini games with the movie theme. Even though this game is quite suitable for slumber parties, this game only lasts for several hours, and with a low replay value. The Princess and The Frog is a good party game for all fans of the Disney animated movie. It would have been great if the gameplay add more depth and length.

Sing It Star 90's is a good singing game if players want to relive their 90s dreams... once more.

However, this game still have all the problems of its predecessor. It doesn't have an in-depth game play, and the whole game should have been a mini-puzzle in other game. Even though Luxor 3 comes with a colourful theme, this game fails to be a good game. It is flat, and shouldn't have been a retail game. This game is suitable for arcades and for mobile devices only. Luxor 3 is just repetitive and boring, poor effort.
