Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has its own attraction towards all the fans and non-fans of Star Wars. This game takes the players to be a young padawan and learn tricks of the Jedi. Even though the players is a non fan, the ability to do magical and unbelievable powers surely will suck them into the game. The game is packed with powerful physics engine that lets the players to do awesome stuff with their 'force'. Players will need to swing their remote and nunchuk, just like they are casting all the Jedi powers around them, however after quite some time, it might seem a little bit repetitive. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed also has a limited camera control, that might frustrates players. This game is a good game with a great story line. May the force be with you.

The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces: Project Aces

The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is a fighting aircraft simulation game. The game is powered by Project Aces which is a Namco group being responsible for the highly acclaimed Ace Combat franchise. The game is loaded with a lot of missions to fly through with non stop aerial tactical action. The game also serves a lot of unlockable planes and gears to power up your arsenal. Just like any other Ace Combat series, each mission will be ended with a multiple cam views of the plane through out the whole mission, and that thing is pretty amazing to watch. Even with all the good things, the only frustrating thing about this game is that the default motion-sensing control scheme is very difficult to use. If players want to enjoy playing this game, using the Wii Classic Controller is the only way to go. Project Aces is seriously need to reconsider this game's control scheme.

Trauma Center: New Blood

The game also has some gruesome injuries, however wouldn't freak anybody out with it.

The coop multiplayer will add more fun, and once players finished the treatment, it will be more satisfactory. However, just like many Japanese game, this game has a bad dialogue, and that not just ends there, the instructions too sometimes a little bit vague. Overall, Trauma Center: New Blood is a good game for all.

Golden Eye 007... where should we start from. The fact that this game is a remake from the infamous offline multiplayer on the Nintendo Gamecube making it a highly anticipated game of the year 2010. Golden Eye 007 has a fine mix of FPS and stealth game in one. The game has a wide variety of vehicles and boss fight, and there is also a new addition of 'par time' where it will push you to the edge just to make it on time. However, players should know that the main buying point of this game isn't the single player, but the online and/or offline multiplayer. There are also variety of control method that can be used in the game (Nunchuk, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro, and Gamecube controller) so friends can play the game by just bringing their preferred control scheme. There is no problem on playing offline multiplayer, but once players go online multiplayer, the lack of support for Wii Speak will take its toll. What is the fun of playing silently in the living room? Even though, Golden Eye 007 is a must have game of 2010. One of the best game for Nintendo Wii.
