Mario Kart Wii is a Disappointment

I picked up Mario Kart Wii today with much anticipation since I have been a Mario Kart fan since it came out on the Super Nintendo. Mario Kart Wii is a great Nintendo game that I am sure you will enjoy immensely, but it isn’t as great as it could have been due to [...]

Guitar Hero and the Like

As of late, there have been some official and unofficial Guitar Hero announcements from Activision. The first is that there will be four GH games being released this year.

My wife and I rented Sonic and the Secret Rings on the Wii expecting a fun and possibly engaging adventure game. We were wrong.
