Pool Hall Pro for Wii

Posted on July 27th, 2009 by
I didn’t grow up with a table but I recommend teens learn the game simply because it’s a great way to meet people in College. I liked the minimalist take on Pool, or “billiards” if you’re snooty, in Wii Play, and I’ve noticed a few Pool games out there for Wii, I never bought one. Well, publisher Playlogic sent me their newest one and I took it for a “insert pool pun here.”
Game Review: CID The Dummy (Wii)
Posted on July 27th, 2009 by
Anyone my age remember the seat belt public safety ads in the 80’s that had the two talking Crash Test Dummies? And like the rampant commercialism that went on back then, those Crash Test Dummies went on to have their own toy line, cartoon, and even a video game! Even though he’s not related to those guys, there’s a new Dummy on the block and he’s crashing on the Wii.
Game Review: Wii Sports Resort (Wii)
Posted on July 26th, 2009 by
Wii Sports Resort releases today (Sunday) and if you have a Wii system, run (don’t walk) down to your local game vendor and pick up a copy. Many people I know consider the console pack-in Wii Sports title to still be one of the best around for family friendly pick-up and play fun. Wii Sports Resort takes that style of game and kicks it up another level with even more games and options as well as incorporating the new MotionPlus attachment for even better control. If you had any interest at all in the original Wii Sports, you owe it to yourself (and your family) to check out Wii Sports Resort. I’ve had the pleasure to take the game through its paces in the past week. It has dominated my limited play time and I believe it will be my go-to game for weeks to come.
The Gaming Eras of Bit Boy!! (WiiWare)
Posted on July 25th, 2009 by
So as best as I can tell, Bit Boy, or Kubi as he’s sometimes called, is a little pixel who has to go back in time to save his little pixel friends in this new WiiWare downloadable game. Gameplay is similar to Pac-Man, as you run around mazes collecting Bit Boy’s pixel pals while avoiding roving monsters. But the big gimmick in the Bit Boy!! game is that each world’s levels are designed like the different ‘eras’ of video game history. So the mazes progress from blocky 2-D to detailed 3-D. Let’s take a tour of the worlds of Bit Boy!!

Game Review: Elite Forces: Unit 77 (DS)
Posted on July 23rd, 2009 by
Take some action, add strategy, mix with a dash of exploration and you might create something like the top-down team exploration-shooter that is Elite Forces: Unit 77. Players manage a team of four unique individuals as you explore a somewhat confined mission area, discovering traps and enemy agents along the way. A bit too slow paced to be a pure action game, it has too many real time elements to be considered a strategy title. If I had to describe the game to an old-school videogame player, I would consider it a top-down perspective of GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64, but with a team of four instead of a single character.
The Sims 3
Posted on July 21st, 2009 by
Has it been that long since the Sims 2 came out? Heck, I’m oldschool enough to have reviewed the first one (I was delighted that games seemed to moving in a more mainstream direction). Well, after countless Sims add-on packs we’re back to the simple life. No pets, no genies, no bizarre careers (oh yes, I’m sure those are coming), but better graphics, a smarter game overall, and that same magic. It’s an interactive dollhouse and just because you might not like it, doesn’t mean it’s not good. And man, have I got a story to tell you! I’ll try not to write it in Simglish, or whatever they’re calling Sim-gibberish these days.
Game Review: Science Papa (Wii)
Posted on July 19th, 2009 by
Remember TV shows like Bill Nye: The Science Guy, Beakman’s World, and Mr. Wizard (for us old folks) who made learning about science fun? Well now you can make science fun on the Wii with Activision’s new video game: Science Papa.
Roogoo Reviews: Roogoo Twisted Towers (Wii) & Roogoo Attack! (DS)
Posted on July 17th, 2009 by
Ever heard of the phrase: “You can’t fit a square peg in a round hole?” Well that’s the basic premise of two new video game puzzlers: Roogoo Twisted Towers on the Wii, and Roogoo Attack! on the DS. Both are based on the original Xbox LIVE Roogoo title, but each adds new features and gameplay modes.
Cary’s Best Video Games of 2009 SO FAR Awards Show!
Posted on July 14th, 2009 by
Can you believe the year is half over already? At the end of the year, everyone does a ‘best games of the year’ article and oftentimes, the games that were released at the beginning of the year are overshadowed by the big holiday titles that come out near the end. So I like to take some time in the middle of the year to give recognition to the best games of the year SO FAR. Now, keep in mind that this is my list only, and no other outside opinions are present. This means my list may be a little unfair because of my tastes in games (so stuff like MadWorld, InFamous, or Prototype won’t be on here). And plus, I’m only one person so I can’t play ALL the games. But enough with the introductions, please sit back and read about my picks for Best Games of the Year SO FAR!
