This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game The Godfather: Blackhand Edition by 1UP
Godfather: Blackhand Edition - As the resident expert on all things Godfather here at the 1UP offices, this looks like the last thing I will ever be saying on the subject — barring any sequels that have yet to be officially announced. But something came over me while working on the review of The Godfather: Blackhand Edition. It was something unexpected, startling, and a little guilt-inducing: I was having fun, more fun than I expected. EA found a way to teach this old game a few new tricks. Most of these tricks came from the Wii Remote and Nunchuk control scheme — used to great effect in this version — and almost made this a new game. Almost. At its core, Blackhand Edition is still the same Godfather game you all know and love. But the new gameplay style warrants some degree of consideration for Wii owners who want to expand their library.

Thi is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game SSX Blur by Wired
How are the controls? All over the damn place. The steering, an interesting mix of the analog stick and the nunchuk, feels good. The tricks are a little unintuitive, but you get to wave your arms around like a maniac. The problem comes with the “ubertricks,” which are essential for progressing past the first third of the game.
