  • Abstract:  It seems Nintendo game consoles have been running third in a field of three for years now. Given the GameCube’s failure to establish itself in a market that’s more concerned with gaming realism than it is with cutesy titles, our expectations for the c...

  • Abstract:  The WiiMote looks a lot like the remotes found on many planes that change channels and play games. It has pretty good range, even allowing a pretty wide angle from the sensor. The biggest surprise of the WiiMote is not only how well it handles, but the...

  • The Xbox 360 did get a head start on the next generation consoles, but now that the playing field is being leveled we can expect the war to be much more heated. As we said, the Wii is by no means trying to win gamers over by having top of the line gra...

  • Abstract:  The graphics leave something to be desired, but the motion-sensitive remote makes this next-gen game system a tough competitor

  • Abstract:  On November 19, 2006, who would have thought that a little white box would be the hit of the holiday season? The Wii is the latest gaming console innovation from the minds at Nintendo. While the Wii isn’t on the cutting edge of graphical technology...

  • Abstract:  Last year I made a decision to purchase an Xbox 360 which at the time was well ahead of the gaming world. Unfortunately for me this has been nothing but problems such as overheating issues, scratched discs and no titles for younger children. Lucky for ...

  • Revolutionizes gameplay, great price
  • No high-def
  • Nintendo originally code-named their new video game console the Revolution. They should have kept the name, not just because the new moniker Wii (pronounced "wee") has been the butt of many jokes, but because this console truly is revolutionary.Ninten...

  • Serious gaming enthusiasts can subtract about 0.2-0.5 points from our official review score for the first six months. But come late 2007, you can add that back and then some. A fantastic effort that youll have to try firsthand to believe, the Wii fina...
