  • Review: Top Spin 3 Wii

    Posted July 23rd by jsharp

    Top Spin 3 is a game that has a lot of potential, especially with a system like the Wii.  Wii Sports Tennis set the bar really high for a fun, interactive experience, and Top Spin 3 aims to provide a more realistic approach to tennis for the Wii.

    I was really looking forward to playing Top Spin 3, because Wii Sports Tennis is one of my favorite games on the Wii right now.  The game perfectly uses the Wiimote to give a fun, and surprisingly deep level of gameplay for such a simple concept.  Top Spin 3 is definitely marketed more towards the hardcore gamer because of the control scheme and gameplay they adopted.

    Review: Alone in the Dark Wii

    Posted July 23rd by jsharp

    Alone in the Dark is a franchise that has been around a long time.  The series recently debuted on next gen systems, Wii included.  The game is a third-person action/adventure that follows a very large, episodic storyline.

    The game starts out with you waking up in the middle of, what looks like an examination room.  The opening cutscene sets up the beginning of the story where these large cracks or fissures are appearing all over the place.  As the player, your only job during this cutscene is to continuously blink your eyes using Down on the D-pad to clear your vision as you’re trying to gain your bearings.  This can get a little monotonous, but thankfully it doesn’t last long.  I don’t want to ruin the storyline, but suffice it to say Central Park plays a key role as it was built to hide something ‘big’.  Your job in the game is to survive, but also figure out what the hell is going on.

    Posted July 23rd by jsharp

    Chrono Trigger DS is already confirmed as a straight port of the original SNES classic.  Now there is a new trademark from Square Enix that points to either a subtitle of the remake, or even a potential sequel.  One reason people state, is why bring the original back, unless you want people to experience it before releasing a follow-up to the franchise.  Time will tell.  Stay tuned for more on this rumor, as it’s only a rumor right now.

    Nintendo Reveals Digital Print Channel

    Posted July 23rd by jsharp

    Nintendo has just revealed a new “Digital Print Channel” for the Wii.  The channel will allow users to send photos directly to Fuji to be printed and sent right to their doorstep.  This kind of service is nothing new in the online community, but it’s nice to see the feature come to the Wii in the form of a custom channel.

    The channel will release in Japan first, but no word on when the channel will come Stateside or to Europe.
