The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Image

WOW!!! Hooked. 26hrs in (where does the time go to) and just received 1st flame for sword. Long way to go yet methinks but so far (and I don't say this lightly) this is the best game I have ever played. Not felt this way for a game in years. Its one of these games where, at 11pm you'll think, "right, i'll do this one more quest b4 bed" ..... and then you look at clock and its 3.30am! Graphics are incredible... looks just like a painting... the distance effect looks like a swirling work of art!! Got off to a slow start but then the world expands and it hits you just how much there is to do!!! Flying through the overworld is far quicker and less tedious than Wind Waker's yacht or Spirit Track's Choo Choo train. The new gadgets give the series a new lease of life and the boss battles have been given a shake up and are a lot tougher (no longer 3 hits to defeat). Completed Arkham City and Uncharted 3 the 2 weeks prior to this and I can tell you, in my opinion, Skyward wins hands down! Well done Ninty!! This is almost POIFIK!!!!! POIFIK I says!!! Bring on Zelda on Wii U!!!… Expand

All you haters!!! Don't like - then don't play. I own a PS3 and a Wii and gotta say I invest so much more time in the Wii CoD series! When you got a good internet connection nothin beats the Wii version. Its not about graphics!! The shooting mechanic was and still is fantastic! ps .... CANT WAIT FOR "ZELDA"!!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Average User Score: 8.4

User Score 7

Right... can't help being rather disappointed by this game. Intro was fantastic, introduced to a Arkhamesque fighting, countering system which played out great. Very cinematic, great story and graphics are top notch! ... BUT the shooting system is pants and very repetetive. Duck-shoot-duck-shoot-duck-shoot...yawn! Everytime a group of baddies ran on screen i thought "oh no, not again!!!" Which is a shame because the cut scenes/puzzles/storyline are all great. Also hate the way you cant draw your gun at some points .... doesnt tell you on screen... thought my controller was broken! And the scenes where your chased, be it by scarrab beetles or baddies are really just trial and error and i'm sure a lot of you died needlessly because you had no idea which way to run. Still, these are only little gripes but they do add up. That aside it is quite an enjoyable game - unfortunatley for Naughty Dog I had the absolute pleasure of playing and completing Arkham City last week which is streets ahead of U3 in my opinion.… Expand

Dead Space 2

Average User Score: 8.2

User Score 9

Cracking game. On chapter 13 just now and its an incredible experience. Resi Evil meets Event Horizon with a dashing of Aliens as well. Looks simply stunning and plays like a dream. Lots of little improvements, flying in Zero G worth particular mention and the new weapons are great. Can't believe Onion A.V gave it 5 out of 10 to deliberatley (probably) drag down the Metacritic score. The craft thats gone into this is nothing short of incredible and to give it 5 or some **** score is really, well . . .BOLLOX!!! An objective score would still be 8 and you can see the objective scores on this site, all giving it an 8. Well done guys. Didn't quite have that "something new" WOW factor that the original had but then again, it was never goin to. Loved it. A very strong 9 from me.… Expand

Super Mario All-Stars: 25th Anniversary Edition Image

This is the most cynical release i've ever played!!! Mario All-Stars of 15 years ago . . .and thats all folks, except its Â£25! Couldn't even be arsed to update the presentation and include a still of a wii-mote on the info screen!!! 14MB of stale old graphics/gameplay simply "crammed" onto a 4.3GB retail disc! Think of what they could've done to celebrate Mario . . . and then look at this. Either update the graphics or don't . . . why are they advertising "25" years of Mario and then giving you the "15" yr old Snes remakes??? Surely it should be the originals on the disc although i don't know what would be worse!!! You could have easily included 'World, '64 and even ' Sunshine on a wii disc!!! This reeks of cashing in!!! Hope you all know what Snes9x is and don't waste your money on this shoddy, uninspired product. Shame ,shame, shame!!! Come on Ninty!!!… Expand

Metroid: Other M

Average User Score: 7.2

User Score 9

Cannot believe the extent of the negative reviews for this rather fine game. Was sceptical of the game at 1st, think a lot of people were. Was unbelievably excited when loading it up. Then the intro scene (easily the best sequence i've ever seen on wii - looks rather next-gen) came on and I was blown away/hooked. The recreation of the Snes Super Metroid battle wih Mother Brain is absolutely incredible!!! After playing extensively for a fair few hours I really couldn't see what these other reviewers were on about. Yes, there are 2 or 3 gameplay elements that don't really work that well but with a little extra time and playtesting, could have been improved. The forced 1st person sections where you have to look for a clue before progressing aren't very good. Twice I was hopelessly scanning for 20 mins looking for these clues, which are generally 2 pixels big (small) and nigh on impossible to find. Thought I must have a dodgy copy of the game but I can assure you if you keep scanning, you'll eventually, through luck, find your target. Also didn't particularly like the Resi 4 over the shoulder view switch. You can't fire or aim, just trudge about at snail's pace till you get to your next destination. These things only happen for 2 or 3 brief moments so their not really a major factor in the game as a whole. My big gripe was with the way you "unlock" your weapons. You start off with full suit capability but you refuse to use it until Adam Malkovich gives you the green light, out of respect, as he is the commanding officer. Usually the "upgrade order" will come at the daftest times, like when you run through a powersuit sapping lava area for a half hour. Why wouldn't he upgrade your suit during this time, when you 1st encounter the lava. Maybe he wants to see Samus suffer??? Still, think Project M team wanted to try something a bit different to the usual Powersuit damage intro that in almost all the previous Metroid games. Another issue I have . . .the control method. Works okay, and the transition to 1st person is smooth and intuitive but I think it wouldve been much better with nunchuk. You couldve used nunchuck and held wii mote sideways, pointing away from screen. Then when you want to go into 1st person, point at screen BUT you would still be able to move while in 1st person - that would have been a more logical control option but the control scheme in the game works well enough. Thats the only negatives I can come up with. Rest of the game plays like a dream, if not a traditional Metroid. The games fixed cameras, sense moves and cut-scenes are very much n the style of the God of War titles. To me thats what Other M plays like and its no bad thing. Moving forward through the game and watching the story develope through plot twists told by very impressive cut-scenes. . . very God of War. I found the same thing happening in this as I did when playing GoW - after watching 1 cinematic cut-scene, I couldn't wait for the next one. Their just that good!!! The plot is well done, dialogue a tad hammy but overall well written and the plot is just fine. And don't believe all these naysayers giving it 4 or 6 out of ten. These people have obviously been waiting to slate it since its unveiling at E3. Other M is a fine addition to the Metroid saga, and a great game in its own right. Definitley not the greatest Metroid, for me that is and probably always will be Super Metroid on Snes but this one is still a real cracker. Buy this and i'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it folks. And please don't listen to all the negative reviews. Balance it up with the good reviews, which i'm sure we'll see a lot more of in the folling weeks. Its a rip roaring, white knuckle 9/10 for me!!!!!!!!… Expand
