Box ArtParty 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 »

It's your host -- Larry Lightfoot!

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 »

Box Art2! 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.

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 »

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.
