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...

There’s a dancer in all of us. We dance when we sing with the hairbrush. We bounce around to the sound of groovy music in the fashion shop. We let ourselves go when we see that cheesy music video on VH1 Classics. But if you’ve ever wanted to groove yourself silly when playing a computer game, Just Dance is possibly just the party game to suit your needs. Allowing you to pick a song from a list of 30 chart-topping tracks and shake your thing however you like, Just Dance features a whole range of genres to bob along to, including Country music, Punk, Rock, Pop and Disco. Katy...

It might have felt like a long time coming, but Mario Kart has finally made it onto the Wii! In, er... Mario Kart Wii. If you've never played the game before, it's all about getting from A to B as quickly as possible. Just like any other racing game. Except... it's done in the crazy style of the Mario series. In fact, it's a bunch of crazy thrown into the crazy pot and stirred with the crazy stick. Racing as one of the characters from Mario's world, players can beat the brightly-coloured daylights out of each other with a bonanza of power-ups. So, what's...

Back in the heady days of the SEGA versus Nintendo console wars there was much debate over who was superior – Sonic the Hedgehog or Mario. While the debate still rages to this day, there's one thing that's never been in any doubt – who was the fastest. The answer is, was and will always be Sonic. Why, then, have we been seeing the tubby little plumber belt around race tracks in karts for years, while we've had to wait since Sonic Drift on the Game Gear to get a new kart outing for the spiky blue speedster? Well, the wait is over thanks to Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. The...

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,...

Wii Sports Resort is the follow up to Wii Sports: the hugely popular game from Nintendo that came bundled in with your Wii. Set on a tropical island, the emphasis this time is on a whole range of exciting new sports. The game makes use of (and comes packed with) the Wii MotionPlus controller, an add on that snaps onto the Wii Remote and increases sensitivity and accuracy of the Wii's motion detection to make games even more exciting and immersive. As well as including old favourites such as Golf and Bowling, both now enhanced to support Wii MotionPlus, Wii...

One small step for Mario, one giant leap for Nintendo... Actually, that's not entirely true. Mario makes some pretty impressive leaps, too. 'How?' we hear you cry! Well, if the title didn't make it obvious, Nintendo has taken Mario into space. Zero gravity would make you jump pretty high, too... Some nasty folks have had away with Princess Peach and made off with her into space. Fortunately, Mario has found himself able to follow, so off he trots... well, flies. That's the plot. 'Nuff said. The real leap here, of course, is from the tried and tested...
