World of Goo Published Date: Oct 31, 2008Simplicity in puzzling is key. This, of course, is different from ease.

Wii Music Published Date: Oct 27, 2008In some sense, games like those from the Guitar Heroes series and Rock Band suffered largely from their strength: they rock, and they rock hard. And while this seems an admirable goal for the KISS Army, it’s something of a disadvantage for those not ready to rock. Indeed, there’s something narro...

Warhammer: Battle March Published Date: Oct 26, 2008The very wise Sun Tzu says, in his elucidatory military tome The Art Of War, that “The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers.” Bullshit.

Wii Fit Published Date: Jun 12, 2008There’s something counterintuitive, even vaguely off-putting, about a videogame that’s earnestly intended to improve your health. Videogames, as we all know and have heard, are pernicious, sedentary, monotonous activities that promote obesity, strain vision, and engender repetitive-stress injury...

WipEout Pulse Published Date: Apr 3, 2008Uber cool.......that’s right, I went there. Wipeout Pulse is a game that you should be proud to have on your screen if someone looks over your shoulder. Big raps, I know, but as you will find through this review they are greatly deserved! Firstly, I have not been a huge fan of the Wipeout series....

Wing Island Published Date: Jul 23, 2007So far, we’ve had a look at Blazing Angels and Heatseeker. (Check out our write-ups in the review section if you haven’t already.)
