New to Nintendo Wii

In BEN 10 ALIEN FORCE: Vilgax Attacks, players will take control of Ben and the popular alien forms: Echo Echo, Goop, Brainstorm, ChromaStone, Big Chill, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey, Swampfire, Jet Ray, and Cannonbolt to manipulate fire, harness electricity, freeze enemies and more. Gamers will journey to exciting alien home planets on Ben's first intergalactic adventure as they travel in an upgradeable spacecraft and blast through asteroid fields and enemy ships. Offering a solid blend of combat, puzzle solving and platform gameplay, BEN 10 ALIEN FORCE: Vilgax Attacks provides hours of...

In a frantic battle to the chequered flag, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing sees Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in mediaeval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA. Fan favourites such as Dr. Eggman, Tails, AiAi, Amigo and many more will join Sonic in their custom built vehicles, revving their engines and jostling to stay ahead of the pack. Each character will race around the track in cars, planes, motorbikes, and in AiAi’s case – a banana mobile! Secret short cuts, swift handling and avoiding...

The spiritual sequel to the hugely popular New Super Mario Bros. DS, New Super Mario Bros. Wii features classic 2D Mario game-play with 3D, pre-rendered characters and lovely, highly detailed backgrounds. The premise will be fairly familiar to anyone who's played a Mario game before - Princess Peach has been snatched away by Bowser and it’s down to Mario to save her. This time, however, he won't be doing it all on his lonesome. The big deal this time around though is the inclusion of four-player play. We don't say co-op or competitive play because adding...

It doesn't matter what century it is. Democracy has its enemies, and from time to time those enemies need shooting at. With that in mind, Infinity Ward took its ever popular Call of Duty series out of the 1940s and World War II and into the modern era. You might have left behind the moral comfort to be had from knowing you're fighting Nazis, but now you get to play with all kinds of fancy modern doodads. Finally, with Reflex, Wii owners get to enter the Theatre of War. Fighting as a U.S. Marine or a British SAS soldier, you'll travel the world, dropping...

After harassing Rayman to the ends of the earth, the Rabbids are finally ready to go back from whence they came — the moon, of course! Now you must help them build a pile of... well anything to hand, tall enough to reach the big crater in the night sky. To help build their pile of stuff, they need to grab all sorts of human objects like boxes, TVs and shelves, and cart them on their shopping trolley back to the pile on the moon. But the humans aren't having their quaint little lifestyle wrecked by these maniac Rabbids. They've unleashed the Verminators, who will stop at...

EA's venerable street racing franchise, Need for Speed, has been split into several versions for the 2009 model year. Nitro is the arcade style game aimed at mainstream gamers looking for a fast, fun experience, rather than a realistic racing sim. Though the choice is kind of made for you since apart from being split by game style, the different versions are available for different platforms. So if you have a Wii or a DS, Need for Speed: Nitro is the only choice open to you. The upside of this is that instead of a shoddy port of a 360 game, Nitro is built from the ground up as a Wii specific...

Once bitter rivals, 2007 saw Mario and Sonic star in the same video game for the first time as they went to the Olympic games in Beijing. After that game's success it doesn't take a genius to realise that it was only a matter of time before our plumber and hedgehog heroes got together at the Winter Olympics, and that's exactly what they are doing next, to celebrate the 2010 Vancouver Winter games. As with the last M&S Olympic outing, our two icons are not alone, they have brought a selection of characters from their adventures along too. Mario's team has Luigi and Yoshi,...

The TV game show everyone knows - one of the longest-running on British television - Family Fortunes! Sets, family teams, survey questions; everything down to the instantly recognisable ‘"uh-uhh"” sound from the scoreboard has been recreated. Family Fortunes Wii brings this family favourite directly to your fingertips! Introduced by Vernon Kay (just like in the TV show), two family teams of five members must guess what "100 people surveyed" had answered, to a question. The ‘Top answer’ survey results are revealed on the big board and somewhere within the answers is a bonus...
