International Cricket 2010

International Cricket 2010 review

Video games can often provide a player with their first experience in an arena they may never have considered before – leading to a long love affair or at least brief flirtation with the subject matter. What Trickstar Games have done here is produce a game so faithful to the sport of cricket that it will enthuse your average cricket fan, but anyone else would need to be armed with a bucketful of time, a mind open to the physics of spin and swing, and mental stamina that is constantly tested with repetitive actions requiring accurate timings. If that sounds...

NBA Jam

NBA Jam release date

Any gamer worth their salt must remember NBA Jam; the totally whacked out 2 on 2 basketball game that was on almost every game system around 93/94. It’s crazy to think that we hardly had any decent Basketball games to play until NBA Jam came along and spiced things up with real player faces and over the top gameplay. NBA Jam returns once more this October and promises to be just as much fun as it was back in the day, with much better visuals of course. The NBA Jam Wii release date is October 5th 2010, until then you’ll...

PDC World Championship Darts 2009

PDC World Championship Darts 2009 review

I don’t often play darts unless the person I’m talking to in the pub is really boring. However, it might be a fun experience on the Wii using the remote as an over-sized dart. The good news is, if you’re a darts fan, the game sort of works. The bad news, at least for me, is it’s probably cheaper and more satisfying to just play the real thing. This time developer Rebellion are making the game and the control system has been reworked to use just the Wii remote. You hold the remote a bit like a pen and keep...

Little League World Series Baseball 2008

Something tells us at WiiGameReview that it must be Baseball season, not only is Mario Super Sluggers arriving for Wii this month but Little League World Series Baseball from Activision is to hit the store shelves too. LLWSB 2008 is officially licensed and has eight US and eight international teams to pick from – the 2 player mode, easy motion controls and character creation system should make it fun for everyone in the family to want to play (pity there is no Mii support though). The Little League World Series Baseball 2008 release date is August 5th. Related: Mario Super...

Rugby 08 review

So the Rugby World Cup is almost on us again and somehow England are going to try and defend their crown. You’ve now got the chance to probably do better than the real team with Rugby 08 on the PS2. I’m not a massive rugby fan but the good news is, this game is still very playable whether you have a basic understanding of what all those men with cauliflower ears are doing on the pitch or you actively take part in putting your head between other men’s hot thighs on a Saturday afternoon. What you essentially get here, as...
