Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is the second instalment of the series that circle around the Star Wars world. This game lets the players be the young unauthorised apprentice of Darth Vader in a journey to find the truth. This game is packed with jaw dropping art and environment design. The game also has been able to overcome the problem of its predecessor in motion control. There are also several great cut scenes inside the game that will let players to understand more about the world they are wandering in. However this game has some disappointments where there are not much enemy character to fight with, and their online multiplayers is a little bit let down. LucasArt should make this game a little bit better by grasping the Wii Motion Plus technology to make the Light Saber swinging experience a little bit better. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is a must have game for fans and non-fans of the Star Wars saga.

Verdict: 8/10

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is a fighting game that focuses around the world of Dragon Ball Z Anime. The game let players choose between many characters inside the Dragon Ball realm, and simulate the fight that the players have been waiting for. Players can also play the long story mode that let them come into the world and go through almost all of the Dragon Ball myths. However this game has a clunky control scheme and the camera is a little bit of a let down. Even though there are a lot of characters to choose from, this game does not add much uniqueness to each characters thus making it a little bit boring. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is a good fighting game, and definitely a must have for DBZ fans but non-fans should be able to pass it without any regret. 

Verdict: 6/10

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Tom Clancy's: Splinter Cell: Double Agent is a stealth action adventure game by Ubisoft. Players will have to control an agent character through the game and go undercover behind enemy lines. This game is challenging and the story line is way much better than its previous predecessors. There are also a good amount of offline co-op gameplay available in the game. However, this game lacks online competitive multiplayer (available in other consoles), and the control schemes is a little bit difficult to understand and get familiarised with. To date, Tom Clancy's: Splinter Cell: Double Agent is the only Splinter Cell ever to be ported to Wii, and for those who are a fan of stealth action adventure, this is a game not to be missed.

Verdict: 7/10

Wii Fit Plus

Wii Fit Plus is the second instalment of the Wii Fit franchise on Nintendo Wii. The game requires the players to use the Wii Balance Board in all of the minigames, exercise and yoga. Players can play all of the workout routine by following the virtual instructor. Once players are comfortable with certain workouts, they can select and create their own workout routine. There are also several fun minigames but only 9 of them are available to be played in multiplayer mode. This game can help players to improve their balance and strength, and has been proven to make players lose weight. The only setback of this game is the price tag and players will need a big place to store the Wii Balance Board.

Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is the latest instalment from the Prince of Persia franchise that spans across almost 20 years. This game that was published in almost all console has many things to offer the fans and non-fans alike. Players will control a Prince without a city to call his own, and fight through all the enemies in order to fullfil his birthright to govern. This game introduces interesting and fun new powers to the prince compared to its predecessors. It also offers a lot of beautiful environment to explore around the game world. There are some camera problems and bland combat physics that held this game back from becoming a great game. Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands is a good and beautiful game to play.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a horror game for Nintendo Wii. The game has been set in a dark mysterious and haunting atmosphere. Players will be profiled all the time, and the players experience will be given based on that. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories has a great story line, and players will be suck into the deep and emotional story easily. Even so, players might be left hanging of wanting more at the end of the game because the story is very short. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a great horror game, a must have but is not suitable for those faint hearted and/or under 15 years of age.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is the second instalment from the Ultimate Alliance series. We have enjoyed the predecessor, and have high hopes to this game in particular. This instalment serves a larger cast of characters compared from the first one and it also provides a new attack method call, fusion attacks that is totally cool. In this game, players will control 4 super-hero characters at one time, and try to fight through the enemies until the final stages. The offline co-op option that let players play with their friends is very welcome. However with no in-depth level design, multiplied by the terrible AI and added with jittery camera controls, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a frustrating game to play. Even though, if the players is an all time Marvel Super Heroes fan, go ahead and buy it (at your own risk).

Verdict: 4/10

Cursed Mountain

Cursed Mountain is a horror game set on the Himalayan Mountains. The setting was so spectacular, that even by itself might make the players feel a little bit spooky. The dark, and hazy environment can sometimes sent chills right to the players spine. The story is good and there are some good memorable sequences in the game. The combat is great, but sometimes players will be frustrated when the controllers doesn't respond well. Remember, Cursed Mountain is a horror game, not suitable for those under 18 (Mature audience only), and for those faint hearted.

Verdict: 7.5/10

Naruto: Clash Of Ninja Revolution

Naruto: Clash Of Ninja Revolution is continuing the Naruto: Clash Of Ninja franchise. This game is easy to pick up and players can start fighting with each other from the start. Players can learn to adapt to any of the widely available control options according to their preferences. This game however have took a lot of things from its previous instalment and didn't add many new features onto it. Thus making it an uninteresting game to have. What ever it is, it not everyday that one can play as a ninja in the real world. Naruto fans are highly recommended not to miss this game.

Verdict: 6/10

Mario Strikers Charged Football

Mario Strikers Charged Football is a football simulation game for Nintendo Wii which stars all the famous characters from the Nintendo World. Players will need to control a group of football players and defeat the other side. This game however is not a normal football simulation game, it blends the game of football with some attacks, powers, and even weapon into the pitch. Even though it might be a little bit too flashy and chaotic gameplay, this games comes as a alternative to other bland simulation football games. There is also an interesting online/offline multiplayer option that is very entertaining. This game has an easy opponent AI, so this game is better to be played with friends rather than alone. 

Verdict: 7/10
