We Say
The Conduit is a good game that wants to be something more without trying hard enough. The single player feature stunning visuals and almost perfect controls, yet the gameplay is bland and repetitive; it is also easily completed within a night. The online mode is great for the Wii and will have you playing online for months to come if you’re a Wii only gamer. Make no mistake, there’s nothing special about the online component if you’re a seasoned FPS gamer on another console this generation. However, High Voltage Software is targeting the Wii exclusive gamer, this one is for you guys!

Guitar Hero Greatest Hits has a great track list, but there’s the feeling that it would have been better off merely as a downloadable expansion pack for its predecessors. The direction of the career mode can be applauded, as it’s worked well here as it did in GH: Metallica. It’s great to play some of the classics from the first few Guitar Hero games using the drums and microphone and the inclusion of Expert+ is a great one. There are a few problems with the note structures and overall the gameplay is too easy at times. Still, the title is a worthy of a purchase if you’re new to the franchise and need a quick introduction before Guitar Hero V hits shelves.

Overall, Let’s Tap is an intriguing collection of mini-games which takes advantage of an entirely unique method of playing the Wii, with no additional peripherals required – other than a tissue box! Unlike some other Wii control methods, the ‘tapping’ is surprisingly precise and is very well suited to most of the games, as well as the menu navigation. The five games included – Tap Runner, Rhythm Tap, Bubble Voyager, Silent Blocks and Visualiser offer some very different ways of utilizing tapping, but tend to decrease in appeal in that order, with the last two adding little value.

The journey of an Australian Wii Gamer has been a long and bumpy road, full of ridiculously late release dates (RE: Super Smash Bros Brawl) lack of “hardcore” titles, and things don’t seem to be shaping up to brighter horizons. Nintendo have just announced news regarding release dates for the highly anticipated Punch Out!!! and the new racing title Excitebots

Adventure games dominated the PC gaming scene in the early 1990’s. Their complex stories, memorable characters, uncanny ability to sit on the edge of clever dialogue and puzzling challenges seemed to be the formula for success. Companies such as Lucasarts and Sierra On-Line ran ahead of the pack releasing what are still today, some of the greatest adventure games of all time.

It doesn’t really matter if you’re a Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft fan you still have to sit back and appreciate all of the innovative ideas Nintendo have brought to the industry through their game controller design. From the cross shaped D-pad to motion sensing in the Wii remote Nintendo’s “outside of the box” thinking has helped shape the way we play videogames across all platforms; one could even say that Nintendo are the trend setters of gaming. Given Nintendo’s contribution to the industry it only seems fitting to take a look at all of the controllers that they have released and the influence they have had with other manufactures
