Nintendo Wii
Memorex offers a comprehensive line of Wii accessories including a wireless sensor bar and a racing wheel. read more »  Party games and the Wii go hand-in-hand (or Wiimote-in-hand, as the
case may be), and Nintendo has dominated that market with its
first-party Mario Party series. The secret to their success seems to
have eluded most other game makers, so when Guilty Party arrived at our
door, I was intrigued, but not optimistic. Would the genre again be
murdered by another attempt? read more »
Game Show Network presents Family Game Show from Storm City Games is what you might get if Wink Martindale, Alex Trebek, Richard Dawson and Bob Barker became game designers. From the relentlessly cheerful (and occasionally condescending) hosts to the uptempo music and the studio audience, Family Game Show is a pretty decent simulator of the game show experience. read more »  2! 4! 6! 8! Which of these games do we think is great?Cheerleading games are a natural fit for the Wii, and since they all follow roughly the same control scheme (Are you picturing it before I even describe it?), which rises to the top of the human pyramid? We pit THQ's All Star Cheer Squad 2 against Bandai Namco's We Cheer 2 for a virtual cheer-off. Ready? O! K! read more »

Tell you what - go read my review of Guitar Hero 5. Now pretend that I said all that stuff about a game that featured a lot of Van Halen songs, and skip the parts about DLC and the DS. Yay! Review done! Because this is basically a Van Halen-heavy track pack. So what do we have to talk about? The songs and their lyrics! read more »  Which
is more important in a game, play mechanics or graphic quality? The
Final Fantasy series has excelled since Final Fantasy VII in graphics
that push each successive console's capabilities, especially in its
cutscenes, but Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers breaks
through the weakness of its predecessors by merging the beauty of its
cutscenes with the game engine, creating a completely seamless game
play experience.read more »
 The video game industry has become huge, a multi-billion dollar
industry, far from the early days of Pong and Pac-Man. As it has
blossomed, it has developed its own trends and set its own records. To
commemorate the industry's various accomplishments, the Guinness Book
of World Records has published a specific volume just for video games,
the Guinness World Records 2010 Gamer's Edition.read more »
I never knew of Dragon Ball the anime series but was intrigued by the game Dragon Ball Revenge of the King Piccolo by Bandai Namco Games. My sons are fans of a lot of the anime series and games and this title seemed to have a different approach over the standard Pokemon, Bakugan and Chaotic types. This one seemed to be more of an adventure type game rather than just dueling. Rating: 6 of 10

Sky Crawlers - Innocent Aces is a pretty game. And parts of the music make me wish I had a better sound system at home to play it on. But some clunky design choices outside of the actual gameplay prevent me from giving it an enthusiastic recommendation. 
What can I say about Guitar Hero: Van Halen? Hmmmm... Well, we didn't know we'd gotten a copy until we'd come back from visiting family over the holidays? Ummmm... it's Guitar Hero?
