Call Of Duty IV: World At War
February 13, 2009 by simonthecat · Leave a Comment
Call of Duty 4: World At War uses the excellent Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine as a basis for building this all new World War II adventure game.
Experience the amazingly realistic harsh, gritty combat and sheer chaos that was World War II. Playing as US Marines and Russian soldiers, you’ll use weapons with mind-blowing power, such as the flamethrower. Just shake your Nunchuck for a quick reload, and use your Wii remote for an all out melee attack!
Make the gameplay experience even more realistic with the Wii Zapper – it’s not required, but this awesome gun-shell peripheral really ramps up the combat fun, and you can play through 100 % of the game with the Wii Zapper if you choose.
The huge environments allow plenty of places to explore, hide, and practice your sniping skills. Multiplayer modes really allow you to get into the action, and fight right alongside your friends. Playing at home, you can choose squadmate mode, where you and a friend play in a split screen mode, providing cover for each other and tackling enemies as a team.
The online Multiplayer action is tremendously intense, as you tackle huge battles with people from all over the world via WiFi connection. The experience points system lets you unlock new secret weapons, and earn other great rewards, like the chance to call in air strikes.
Go to war in the most photo-realistic battle game ever!
Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
February 8, 2009 by simonthecat · Leave a Comment
One of the favorite Nintendo heroes of all time is back! Several hundred years after the adventures in Ocarina of Time, young goat herder Link is again faced with the task of saving his homeland of Hyrule. A sinister parallel universe called the Twilight Realm is attempting to overtake Hyrule, and Link’s job is to hold the evil at bay.
Playing as our hero Link, you’ll start the game with just your wits and the clothes on your back. However, you have a very special ability you’ll gain after your first trip to the Twilight world: you can morph into a wolf! When you play as the wolf, you’ll have super-enhanced eyesight to spot the enemies with, as well as use your heightened senses to sniff out trails, and dig for special items.
On your first visit to the dark ,yet stunningly depicted, Twilight world, you will meet Minda, mysterious young creature who will help you out of a precarious situation, and then become your traveling companion.
When you are in wolf form, she will ride on your back, and occasionally give hints when you’re stuck in the game. You will navigate the game in a variety of ways-by foot, as the wolf, and riding horseback on your trusty steed, Epona. Later in the game, you’ll even earn the ability to teleport to different areas in the game.
Your primary combat items will be your sword and shield, and the Wii remote and Nunchuck controller are incredibly instinctive ways to use them. You’ll swing the Wii remote and watch your sword slash onscreen, and move upwards with the Nunchuck to perform a shield bash. You’ll also earn the bow and arrow, boomerang,and bombs-each one making beautiful and natural use of the unique Wii controls.
The Clawshot, a device to help you reach formerly out of range places, will remind you of the hookshot from favorite Zelda games of the past- you’ll be searching the walls for the perfect crevice so that you can hook on and climb up!
The game features nine distinct dungeons, each absolutely huge and full of intriguing puzzles, chests filled with gold, and monstrously huge bosses that you must defeat to advance. You’ll have ,at a bare minimum, 60 hours of nonstop gameplay, and the replay value is huge as well. Each and every time you walk across a field or revisit a dungeon, you’re likely to discover something new. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is much more than just a game, it’s a true epic gameplay adventure!
Okami for Wii
February 8, 2009 by simonthecat · Leave a Comment
Okami tells the ancient epic of the Sun God Amaterasu, who needs your help in the task of restoring a shattered universe .
A legendary evil monster named Orochi has risen from the dead and destroyed virtually everything on earth, and it’s your job as Amaterasu to save the world.
As you play through this visually striking and absolutely massive world ( well over 30 hours of gameplay!), you’ll find yourself in an ever-changing universe populated by intelligent and witty characters.
Amaterasu can fight off enemies and repair the damage they have done by using his control of the elements and his fighting skills. To fight the evil creatures Amaterasu must assume the physical form of a Wolf (Okami in Japanese) – but this is no ordinary wolf! In addition to the ramming ,biting, and diving attacks, which you’ll use the Nunchuk and Wiimote to pull off, the wolf has three types of special weapons.
Reflectors are the mirrors that help you with medium-range attacks, rosaries are weapons for the long-range attacks, and glaives are the slowest but the most powerful of the three weapons types. You can have any two weapons equipped at all times, one of which will serve as your sub-weapon. Some of the weapons can even be charged up, and be more powerful, with the use of gold dust, which you’ll come across in your game travels.
The incredibly fun and useful item which made this game famous is called the Celestial brush, a paintbrush type pointer which is ideally suited to the Wii’s unique controls. The Celestial Brush can be used to make change in virtually every area of the game.
To use Amaterasu’s powers to affect the weather, you’ll paint a sun in the sky, and the sun will rise. You will be able to revive the dead trees and plants by painting a circle around them . You can draw wind to blow down obstacles, paint bombs to blow up your enemies, and much more.
As you progress through the game and unlock new powers, you’ll even use the Celestial brush to solve puzzles. When you begin playing Okami, be prepared- you’ll need plenty of time, because once you dive into this beautifully rendered world, it’s impossible to leave.

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV party keeps the wild and wacky minigame fun coming fast and furious! Rayman is on the run from the Raving Rabbids when he gets trapped in his house with just his TV set which the Raving Rabbids have taken over.
The Rabbids have infiltrated every show on the TV, from reality shows to movies, and everything in between-even commercials. As you play Story mode, you’ll get to play through a week’s worth of Raving Rabbids programming.
Over 65 minigames, all based on the wacky spoofs the Rabbids concoct, make it furiously fun to get through the week of programs, and drive poor Rayman crazy in the process!
Video game fans will especially appreciate the variety of genres-like the “House of the Dead” takeoff where you find yourself right in the middle of a first person shooter!
You can play 100 % of the game with the regular Wii remote and nunchuck, with perfect controller response, but if you have the Wii balance board – prepare to have the most fun you’ve ever had with it.
Raving Rabbids is ideally suited for the balance board, and over 40 % of the minigames support the board. You’ll be having a blast as you sit on the board to ski down a mountain, or surf through space. Just be ready to fight your friends for it!
Speaking of your friends, they’ll all love the four player simultaneous action, and the option to play up to eight players with turn-based play.
Nobody can resist the Raving Rabbids!
