Mini-game compilations have always been hit or miss with gamers. Even the most popular, the Mario Party series has been a love it or hate it thing for gamers. Still, with the Wii’s incredible mainstream success, mini-game compilations seem to be a growing genre with increasing amounts of titles on the store shelves. Combining ten [...]

SSX Blur
Mar 20, 2007
Whether you love EA or hate EA, their strong support of Nintendo’s latest console can only mean good things for Wii owners in years to come. Worn out and overused franchises from last generation now have the potential to be revitalized and made “new” again. Until four years and five SSX games later… Knowing a [...]

Sega Soccer Slam
Feb 28, 2007
Sports can be difficult for some of us to get into, not because we’re nerds with no coordination, but because we don’t respond well to situations with so many scrupulous rules. Playing soccer during recess wasn’t so much about playing soccer as it was about kicking your classmates in the shins. That’s why unreal soccer [...]

Mario Hoops 3-on-3
Oct 4, 2006
SquareEnix, the company that has brought us some of the most memorable RPGs known to man, has unfortunately never had much success with other genres. They of course succeeded when it came to storytelling, but when it comes to pure gameplay, most of their efforts were actually never quite up to par with their competitor’s [...]

Early next month, everyone will be able to get their hands on the latest Mario Sports title, Mario Hoops 3 on 3. I recently got my hands on a brand new Noble Pink DS Lite, and since Mario Hoops had just been released, I decided to get it. Mario Hoops 3 on 3 is quite [...]

SSX On Tour
Jul 15, 2006
Back in October of last year, EA released SSX On Tour for all major platforms, including our beloved GameCube. If you are used to past SSX games you already know it’s all about wacky characters, crazy race design, an insane amount of impossible-to-perform-in-real-life tricks, and so much replayability you’ll be tempted to put the disc [...]

True Swing Golf
Jun 26, 2006
I have always made fun of golf for being incredibly slow-paced and boring. But then I actually tried it. The real thing. Not the frustratingly silly holes on a mini-golf course. And I realized golf is actually kind of fun and rewarding. However, buying a set of clubs and a season pass to the golf [...]

Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land (Second Opinion)
Jan 5, 2006
Are you obsessed with Hollywood and its supposed movie star lifestyle? Do you skateboard? Does the phrase “California Uber Alles” make you happy? How about “Deutschland Uber Alles”? If you answered yes to all of these questions, then you’re most certainly looking at the right game. However if you find liberal conspiracy music about California [...]

Super Mario Strikers
Jan 4, 2006
Mario is without a doubt the hardest working game character that ever existed. He’s saved the damsel in distress, golfed, hit homeruns, drove karts and partied more times than some of us can count. Well, Mario once again chooses to take on another sport, and rather one of the most grueling in the [...]
