  • Wandering Willows (PC)

    Reviews Reviews by Sprite Monkey on

    This game has confirmed what I have always suspected to be true: hot air balloons are NOT a reliable method of travel. As proof, your character in Wandering Willows, as molded by you to resemble your

  • The Adventures of Cookie & Cream (PS2)

    Reviews Reviews by Sprite Monkey on

    THE ADVENTURES OF COOKIE CREAM WILL RUIN YOUR RELATIONSHIP. Having said that, let me clarify. If you never want to speak to your father, mother, brother, or sister again, sit down and play The Adven

  • WiiWare Review (August 2008)

    It’s a little light on content, but overall a decent game. Thematically the whole game is cute and very enjoyable, but without a lot of depth, it’s hard to keep coming back to. The gun noises coming from the Wii-mote get obnoxious pretty fast, but if you like shooter games, you could do a lot worse for your points.

    This is an abysmal way to start off the month for WiiWare, with a good concept that fell to pieces in development. Terrible graphics, annoying repetitive music, a lack of real customization options and AI that is just total garbage makes for a terrible racing experience that is as frustrating as it is lackluster. Still, the concept is cool, but it doesn’t come close to saving this game.

    Well, I figured it was time to write this article. With WiiWare and Virtual Console titles growing in number every week, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep everything you want on your Wii menu. Even though Wii hard drive space is only an issue for geeks and otaku, I figured it was time to do them a service and point out which titles should be ready to play without re-downloading them.

  • Boom Blox (Wii)

    Reviews Reviews by Sprite Monkey on Comments2

    It started with an inkling. An idea. An idea formed by a man. A man with a big important name, a lot of clout, and a lot of money, who one day said he wanted to make a game he could play with his kids

  • Wii Fit (Wii)

    You start with an embarrassing, creepy, and awkward balance test administered by a rubbery anthropomorphic balance board. Wait a second; let me take a step back.I'll be the first to admit that I'm ove

  • Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)

    Reviews Reviews by Sprite Monkey on

    The problem with The X-Files as the seasons wore on and on was that the mythology got so convoluted that when Mulder found his sister, there was absolutely no sense of direction or narrative cohesion.

    Toki Tori is a great puzzle game, and it's a HUGE upgrade from the original on the Game Boy Color. Lots of puzzles, good use of the Wiimote, great audio, and very worth the price if you like puzzle games.
