Bringing the zing back to its gaming experience, Nintendo has released the eagerly awaited Wii Sports Resort scoring five out of five stars almost instantly as gamers worldwide checked out the new product.

The all new Wii Sports Resort features an intense workout experience.

Priced at $49.99, the game includes a Wii MotionPlus attachment with jacket, sold separately for $19.99, needed to play the dozen games included in the package.

The Nintendo team’s expert finesse in designing games and related hardware is clearly reflected in Wii Sports Resort. It combines two sensors – an accelerometer and gyro – and the new Wii MotionPlus can detect rotation and twist movements as demonstrated in Frisbee and Sword Play games for instance. The graphics are bold and clear and the imported Mii has a more life-like body with very attractive outfits. Just like Wii Sports, the better a gamer gets at playing the games, the more intense the experience or gaming workout becomes, especially if attention is paid to the individual gamer’s form and technique. Another feature that makes it alike Wii Sports is the physical demands of the interactive sports games and the potential for injury.

Critics and reviewers from the gaming community advise that the tutorials should be watched carefully. Gamers are advised to make sure there is enough clear space above and around them, especially in the case of taller players, otherwise the risk of physical harm or injury is more. For instance, while playing overhand shots for basketball, the player may quite easily hit the ceiling.

Gamers are also recommended to wear the wrist strap and resist the temptation to break from good form. Excellence in form and technique is essential in any of the interactive sports games as a Wii Fitness Workout. The fun of the games is in simulating the sport, so follow the instructions and observe the safety pointers.

The Wii Sports Resort offers some great games for beginners and gamers who want seated, low-impact, and no-impact Wii Fitness workouts. However, these games do demand enormous stamina, focus, skill, balance and deep breathing.

The original Wii Sports came bundled with each and every Wii, and it only carried five sports. The Wii Sports Resort, however, is packing twelve sports, not five, most of which have multiple modes of gameplay.

Apart from golf and bowling, the only two holdover games, it is a completely new experience. Other games include basketball, canoeing,

jetskiing, and wakeboarding. A lot of emphasis has been put on air sports, which involves either flying a plane or jumping out of one – which is the first thing a player has to do, as a matter of fact, at least after they sit through a three-minute video on how to use the MotionPlus, which is easy and very comprehensive. With the MotionPlus gadget, the player can actually feel the difference in the gaming experience.

Among the star featured games is Red Steel, which involves sword fighting, and is rated as the most popular game in the set. The player can spar with a friend or a computer simulated robot in a best of three match, or play through a mode called “Showdown,” which involves fighting your way through waves of robots.

The gameplay follows the band through positive achievements in the history of Aerosmith career since their first show in Nipmuc Regional High School in 1970 to the Super Bowl XXXV half time show in 2001.

Guitar Hero Aerosmith Preorder. Before the released of Guitar Hero Aerosmith on June 29, 2009 many retailers make it available in pre-order basis. Customer who will choose the Guitar Hero Aerosmith Preorder will receive limited edition bundle that includes game, Aerosmith tour book, a Gibson Les Paul guitar controller and a Special Edition Aerosith Guitar Hero III faceplate.

Guitar Hero 3 Dream On will be released on February 16-18, 2008. Dream on will be released in honor of Activation’s Guitar Hero Aerosmith game.

Watch out for the Guitar Hero Aerosmith Song List.

Super Mario Galaxy

If a Mario title did not make the list, then something is very wrong with the order of the world. Released in November 2007, Nintendo Wii Super Mario Galaxy is like the average Mario platform games but was given a new 3D twist. It is not surprising to hear that it has brought home countless Game of the Year Awards seeing how Nintendo managed to sell 6.10 million copies worldwide!

Wii Fit

The prospect of exercising is suddenly looking more exciting with Nintendo’s Wii Fit. Together with the game disc, Nintendo has bundled an ergonomic-looking balancing peripheral that works wirelessly with the help of four AA batteries. Just like Brain Age attempts to measure your brain power, Wii Fit will tell you how healthy you are and will make recommendations based on your Body Mass Index (BMI) calculations. How’s that for your very own virtual trainer?

Trauma Center: Second Opinion

You don’t need proper medical training to be an aspiring doctor and surgeon, just a steady hand! Nintendo Wii’s Trauma Center: Second Opinion lets you play the part of Dr. Derek Stiles, a doctor found to possess the Healing Touch, a rare condition that promotes his, well, healing touch. Making an incision using the Nunchuk and Wii controllers is a challenge but coupled with the engrossing storyline, we proclaim that Trauma Center for the Wii is made of pure win!

The Mummy is one of the best occult action flick when it was released a decade ago and til today, it remained a great franchise that spawned two sequels, the latest being the upcoming The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Vivendi Games and Sierra Entertainment are counting on the popularity of this movie to make the accompanying Wii game a success.

Tomb of the Emperor sees Brendan Fraser reprise his role as Rick O’Connell and this time his adventures transport him and his family to ancient China where his son Alex unknowingly brought Emperor Qin (played by a convincing Jet Li from Romeo Must Die) back from the dead. Players will basically take turns to control different lead characters in a bid to put the Emperor and his terra cotta warriors back into eternal slumber.

This hack-and-slash game will see players taking control of the Wiimote and Nunchuk to battle the ancient Chinese army. Not only that, the game developers revealed that there will be fast and furious hand-to-hand combat as well as exciting gunplay. Besides thrilling combat, players will also need to solve puzzles in order to unlock mysterious chambers and collect hidden treasure in order to advance through the game. I was most amused to hear that a three-headed Gorgon will be one of the bosses you’ll fight in the game, though for the life of me I cannot imagine how this mythical monster fits in with ancient Chinese history. There’s also a little hieroglyphic coding to complete but again, I am not certain how this is relevant in the storyline.

Overall, I think this game is worth playing simply for its entertainment value. Not to mention, we get to kill Jet Li the baddie!

Control-wise, the Wiimote and Nunchuk can be utilized to perform a variety of wall jumps, long jumps and gravity defying somersaults. The Star Pointer is your on-screen guide that lets you pick up Star Bits which can be forcefully projected to stun enemies and manipulate items. Tired of playing alone? You can pit yourself against your friends and family in the Co-Star Mode where both you and the secondary player control your respective Star Pointers to see who can take down the most enemies.

If you find it amusing to see all in-game coconuts become watermelons in a flash, you basically need to find time and collect 9999 star bits in the hub. To unlock the death count feature and see how many times you have perished while playing Super Mario Galaxy, you need to collect 120 Stars from the Grand Finale Galaxy.

Starting Boost When Racing Cosmic Mario

When the countdown timer starts as you are racing Cosmic Mario, hold forward, then as it hits 2, hold down on Z to crouch, and when the race starts hit A right away and you will turn yellow for a few seconds and get a really good boost that will put you way ahead of Cosmic Mario.

When one lists down the greatest horror games of all time, chances are the list will include the very cheesy but replayable House of the Dead as well as other gems like Silent Hill, Siren (a Japanese survival horror game) and perhaps the zombie-fest that is Resident Evil. But mention Alone in the Dark and you might get blank stares for most did not know if Alone in the Dark should be solely classified under the Horror game category. Alone in the Dark is all that and more, and is most renowned for its innovative game play although it did not enjoy a loyal following like Silent Hill’s.

Come mid 2008, Alone in the Dark will make its appearance in the Nintendo Wii platform. What makes this piece of news interesting is that fans cannot wait to see the possibilities that come with the combination of horror games and Wii’s versatile Nunchuk. Like the previous games in the series, this game will follow the adventures of Edward Carnby as he attempts to survive the night. This time the Wii version will see him wandering around New York’s Central Park while avoiding sinister and supernatural forces. I find it fascinating Central Park commands its own sense of mystery even in real life, where unnamed creatures and mutated trees can be found deep within tunnels possibly hidden beneath the park.

Atari has announced that an European Limited Edition of Alone in the Dark would be released for the Nintendo Wii, along with other next-gen consoles. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that I’ll get my hands on the exclusive Edward Carnby collectible figure and official CD soundtrack! I look forward to steeri the in-game Edward over treacherously dark nooks and crannies using my Nunchuk!

Stay tune and watch out for the Alone in the Dark Walkthrough.

If you think that improved games brought forward from previous-gen consoles will be nothing but rehashed, lame efforts, think again. You need to run out immediately and get your own copy of the Nintendo Wii’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl, one of the best cross over video fighting games of all time. Released in January 2008, this game is special because it ring outs take precedence over knockouts. And Super Smash Bros Brawl is not just a punch and kick sort of game. Far from it, this game boasts of a nice single player mode called The Subspace Emissary, where players will enjoy an engrossing plot while immersed in a side scrolling beat ‘em up mission.

Four control styles can be utilized using the Wiimote, the combination of the Wiimote and Nunchuk, the Classic Controller as well as the old but trusty Gamecube controller. With a wave of the control stick or a tap of the D-pad, a variety of attacks is performed against your rivals. Each character comes with four distinct, trademark moves called Super Attacks, which are not unlike Cloud Strife’s Limit Break in the Final Fantasy VII series. Among famous characters to make an appearance in Super Smash Bros Brawl are Link from the Zelda series, Donkey Kong, Sonic the Hedgehog and the ever sullen but memorable Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid.

Super Smash Bros Brawl Tips & Tricks

To unlock Donkey Kong in the virtual console trials, you need to stay put and log on a total of 10 hours play time. Beat the Subspace Emissary using Captain Falcon and you’ll unlock F-Zero. Use Link (toon version) more than 10 times and you’ll get the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Similarly you can acquire Super Mario World once you play melee matches at Yoshi’s Island over three times.

Before fans got a whiff of the Wii, Nintendo announced its codename “Revolution” and drew much criticism from various parties that said this name was rather pretentious and frivolous, indirectly doubting that the Wii can revolutionize the gaming industry. Critics were proven wrong when the Wii finally made its appearance, and Nintendo revealed the reason behind the name. “Wii” sounds like “we” and this generalization shows that Nintendo is determined to create a gaming console that’s fit for everyone.

The Wii comes bundled with a Wiimote, a remote-like peripheral with infrared sensor to detect its position in three dimensional space when directed to the Sensor Bar placed beneath the television. To date, the Wii has enjoyed unrivalled popularity with 24.45 million units being sold as of March 2008. While next-gen consoles such as the XBOX 360 and the PS3 are locking horns endlessly, the Nintendo Wii concentrated their efforts to create better games for the entire family. Backed by a barrage of best selling games such as Mario Galaxy, Zelda and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, the Wii proved to critics that its position as a revolutionary gaming console cannot be denied.
