Now this is a cool toy to play with introducing the Wii Light Sword, so is it a lightsaber, kinda or a Wii-saber nah. It's the Wii Light Sword and you don't need to be a Jedi to wield, all you need is a Wii console (of course) and the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to be able to "really" enjoy the duel mode and the actual game itself. Now what do you get when you cram in 22 ultra bright LED's inside a plastic casing? You get a very cool controller and kick-ass gaming experience. This baby is powered by three AA batteries and sells for $30 each. Time to ...

A chronic shortage of Nintendo’s Wii console could mean disappointment for those putting it on their Christmas list. It’s clear – both anecdotally and in sales figures – that retailers are once again having problems coping with demand for Nintendo’s latest console – especially in light of some hugely acclaimed releases including Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Mario Galaxy. One way in which to keep an eye on stock levels is to use www.wii-consoles.co.uk if you’re in the UK. Apparently, there’s going to be a huge push by Nintendo to ship more consoles – this will see more than 3.5 million consoles being delivered globally. Allocations haven’t been yet announced for various territories across the world. There ...

I've been working at home for the better part of a decade now. A lot of my friends tell me that they envy the fact that I can earn money while staying at home. They then cite all of the attendant benefits of telecommuting. I have to agree it does sound like a good setup, except for one glaring, undeniable downside to this whole gig. I have gotten FAT. Working at home means the most strenuous exercise you will probably get is that short walk to the fridge or the bathroom. I have so much work that going to the gym is not even an option. That's why I think the Nintendo Wii ...

You probably haven't heard but over in the UK Manhunt 2 has been banned. Rockstar games, no strangers to controversy themselves what with Bully, GTA etc in their stable of games, have perhaps pushed too far this time. Here in Britain, the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) have at this time refused to certify the PS2 and Wii title. This means in effect that the game cannot be legally sold - as all media entertainment (film and games) must get a certificate in order to be sold in shops. The BBFC had this to say about the game: "Manhunt 2 is distinguishable from recent high-end video games by its unremitting bleakness and callousness of tone in an overall ...

I have made it no secret that, out of the 3 'this gen' consoles, I believe the PS3 to have the most potential.  This is for reasons of power, capability and having a wireless control pad.  However, it seems that each of the three consoles - PS3, Xbox360 and Wii - have reasons to doubt them.  I have covered the latter two here already, so lets move on to the PS3. One of the most obvious that things that hits you about the PS3 is the lack of rumble.  Now that Sony has settled a suit with Immersion there shouldn't be a problem.  But there is.  All the consoles ...

Nintendo have, with a few exceptions, gone off the rails since introducing the N64.  Whilst the N64 had some memorable games (GoldenEye and Mario 64 to name just two) it sold pretty damn poorly.  The GameCube was meant to have a huge impact.  Obviously prior to that now previous generation, the Playstation ruled the market and the PS2 was liable to do the same.  Unfortunately, around the same time, the Dreamcast failed. The Xbox was huge, with a rather lacklustre line-up.  It did however have Live, and the biggest controller you'd ever touch - along with an 8 gig hard drive.  Nintendo's entry was the ill-conceived GameCube.  The GC was - well - a cube.  It was also in purple.  A ...

I was thinking of how Animal Crossing gives you access to a persistent offline world to explore, but without any real people to interact with. In my opinion, there's a good few reasons why you should play offline as well as online; and there are even occasions when it's better to play on your own. So, lets take a look at these ten reasons why you should consider offline play, with an emphasis on Animal Crossing: 1. In your own AC village there is no bad language, nor racism or other stupidity. 2. There is far greater world control - this includes control over your house, ...

Okay, so the Wii has cool controls, average graphics and average online capabilities (because of no online multiplayer, which is madness but anyway).  So far the games have been either shovelware or good (not great), but nothing really ground breakings.  Does that sum everything up about the Wii in a nutshell? Frankly I've played a fair few hours now and as yet I haven't bought one.  It is fun - don't get me wrong - but it is just not amazingly compelling.  It almost feels as though it is lacking something, ...

I got my hands on a Wii. Long search. Big surprise when I finally got it. In fact, I walked into a GameStop and said "I know you don't have any Wii's but I was wondering if you know when the next shipment might be coming in." The guy replied, "Actually, we do have a Wii. Just one. You want it?" I was floored. My search had ended. I could hardly speak. I mumbled and fumbled, giddy as a 7 year old on Christmas morning, and said "Yes, I'd love to have it." I brought it home and set it up on my 40 inch Samsung LCD and home theater
