This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Avatar the Airbender: The Burning Earth by Gamersinfo
We begin the game with Aang on his quest to learn the other elements. He was only 11 when he hid from the Fire Nation attacks, and although Katara has been shown to be a water-bending master, he must still learn fire- and earth-bending to become a true Avatar. Those familiar with the series will recognize the locations and characters from the first scene. While the retelling of the story differs slightly — it must to make sense to a non-fan — the gist of the story remains intact.
Incredibly enough, so does the humor. Sokka, a 15-year-old boy is quite frankly, a dork. This comes across often. Aang may be the savior of the known world, but he’s still only 12 at this point and wants to play. And Katara is the older sister of Sokka — she’s been his mother for many years, and her motherly overbearing nature is obvious. You don’t have to be familiar with the tale to smile.

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game MySims by GameDaily
It’s just too bad MySims doesn’t have online gameplay. Without a full-flowing online universe, it just feels like something’s missing.
In all, this take on the long-running Sims series shows both progress and limitations, but still ends up being fun. Maybe with the sequel, we can see some expansion to get it where it really needs to go. For now, though, MySims still earns a recommendation as a rental. Just be careful, though — it’s got enough sugary substance to give you a mouthful of cavities.

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Escape from Bug Island by GameSpot
The technical deficiencies of Escape from Bug Island simply highlight the fact that games have evolved since survival horror first turned fashionable. There’s really no place for something this clunky. Rather than Escape from Bug Island, why not avoid it altogether?

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Endless Ocean by GameBrink
You’ll either love or hate this one, kind of like Animal Crossing. If you don’t need lofty goals or lots of action in your games then this might be an option but if any of the videos shown above put you to sleep you should steer clear.

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Alien Syndrome by 1up
Of course, many action-RPGs are only as good as their multiplayer, and Alien Syndrome’s co-op (up to four players) is as insipid as the rest of the experience. The “shooting things” half of the game is fine with a few friends, if not a bit busy, but the “wandering around for a key card/computer terminal” half is even more tedious with company. It’s a big game, and it could potentially last quite a while if a few friends really got into it, but that’s the only way you’re going to get close to your $50 worth. For what you’re getting and how low budget the game appears, it’s unthinkable to consider it otherwise for any more than a $20 price point.

From Fire Emblem, Ike appears! The fact that he can wield a two-handed sword with a single hand is a testament to his magnificent strength.
He brings his special move “Aether” with him as he crashes the Brawl party. Try for a single-stroke finishing blow with his mighty blade! (more…)
