The Nintendo Wii
November 20th 2008 18:21
The Nintendo Wii was launched back in 2006, since then, it has become the fastest-selling console of this generation, with over 21 million units sold worldwide.
The console is currently outselling both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 by a very large margin, a fact that continues to puzzle and confuse many gamers. There are many gamers (and even non gamers) out there who have a thing against the Wii, and that too for several reasons. Hopefully this article clears the misconceptions that so many people have.
Everything about the Nintendo Wii is unusual, which includes: the controllers, the games and even the name itself. When Nintendo first unveiled the console, people were quite sceptical, to say the least, but very soon they realised that Nintendo knew exactly what they were doing and what they were getting themselves into.
Other game consoles like, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, are very powerful consoles and the size of each console is a testament of the powerful hardware. However, the Wii is much weaker in comparison, and even the console itself is very small and compact.
The main reason which makes Wii somewhat unique is its control scheme. This incorporates motion-sensing technology and replaces the traditional game controller. Wii games are played using the Wii remote (a.k.a Wiimote) and a Nunchuk joystick. The Wiimote looks like a TV remote while the Nunchuk joystick features an analogue stick. The motion sensor that one has to attach on top of the TV screen detects motions made by these controllers and it works quite well.
I would like to clear a common misconception regarding how games are played using this motion-sensing control scheme. Since you hold both controllers with your hands, the motion sensor will only detect movements made by your hands and arms, so if you are one of those people who were jumping and running around, then, I have to say that you were overdoing it. A few Wii games do require one to stand up, so that the sensor can capture movements more accurately but, believe me, standing is the only action your legs have to perform.
The motion-sensing technology has been incorporated quite well in a variety of different genres, but to say that the Wii replaces the need for one to go outside and exercise would be an overstatement. So far, most third-party Wii games have not made good use of the motion-sensing control scheme since they feature simple game-play mechanics that require mindless and random shaking of the controllers, but, in time, we will see games with deeper game-lay mechanics that require accurate hand/arm gestures.
A common grudge that most gamers have against the Wii is that the first-party exclusive games are sequels to series that have been around since the 1980s, such as Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Donkey Kong, etc. And yet Nintendo continues to expand them with new sequels. But do gamers yawn at the sight of them? Do they honestly wish them out existence?
Most video game series do grow stale because of endless dry sequels but every new Zelda, Mario and Metroid, etc., experiments with new ideas and they have evolved enough to appeal to modern gamers. Nintendo Wii exclusives such as: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bos. Brawl and Metriod Prime 3: Corruption, etc., have been very successful from both a commercial and critical viewpoint.
With record-breaking sales and unanimous critical acclaim, it becomes very clear that the gaming world has not grown tired of these ancient franchises and this success is not because of reputation, but because of the fact that these games are truly exceptional.

You probably know by now that this reviewer is crazy about RPGs (Japanese RPGs for the most part) and Sonic, the hedgehog video games.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
August 10th 2008 10:24
This year, the Beijing 2008 Olympics seems to be the hottest event. And given the fervour in this age, it is no surprise that we now have official video games based on the Olympics. Today, Sega is in charge of developing video games based on the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and they have developed two games, the first one being the fantasy themed Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and the other game (released recently) simply titled Beijing 2008. This is a review of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (MSOG for short), which is available on Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS, based on the Nintendo Wii version.

New RPG Game:
July 25th 2008 17:04
The world ends with you (TWEWY for short) is a unique Japanese RPG released exclusively for the Nintendo DS handheld console. The game saw an English language release in April 2008 and it is the sole reason why I bought the Nintendo DS the very day the game was released. The development team behind this JRPG is the same team that created the highly acclaimed Kingdom Hearts series, a team lead by JRPG legend and ace character designer Tetsuya Nomura.

The Challenging Horror Thriller,Condemned 2
July 7th 2008 16:30
It would be inappropriate to call Condemned 2: Bloodshot a First Person Shooter (FPS) because, this is a game which focuses primarily on melee combat rather than gun fights. Thus, it would be more accurate to call Condemned 2: Bloodshot a first person brawler.

The Extremely Horrifying Game, Silent Hill 4
June 24th 2008 19:37
Silent Hill 4: The Room is another part to the pervious Silent Hill series, but this time the developers of the series have decided to horrify it much and fun to play. This time the game is not played in the town of Silent Hill but instead in the city of South Ashfield, where Henry Townshend lives.

The Most Scariest Game Of Gaming History (Resdent Evil 2)
June 21st 2008 15:29
Perhaps one of the most memorable and scariest games of the last decade has to be Resident Evil 2, released on the PlayStation One in December 1997 by Capcom, sequel to the survival horror game Resident Evil 1. The game is truly worthy of being called a sequel as Resident Evil 2 improved on almost every aspect of the original and offered gamers more than their money’s worth with more action, more terror, more weapons and more enemies.
