Bionic Commando Petition for the Wii

On some level I can not help but feel sorry for these morons. Take that back no I don't. I mean what is going on in the head of these idiots, "Duh why does my Wii not have all the cool games that the 360 and PS3 have, duh must be because the publishers have something against the Wii, yeah that's it duh" Well it's not, it's because the Wii processing power is about that of the chip inside the PS3 that controls the ejecting of the disk drive and this may come as a shock to you but that ain't going to run Bionic Commando.

Oh yes we could just have all games written for the lowest commen denominator which makes the point of other more powerfull consoles or other consoles at all a bit rudundent. So if you bought a Wii for it's cool wavey interface and that you can't get enough of Spazzio games then fair enough, but don't come crying to me when it won't play games like Crysis, go crying to Nintendo sitting on their huge pile of cash, see what answer you get, duh, more then likely.

Chess (Wood)

Having worked through a few retro video games lately I thought I'd try one of the earliest I could find. Similar in play to something like Final Fantasy Tactics on the Game Boy Advanced, Chess is a deep game, easy enough to pick up but becomes brain hemorrhagingly complex very quickly. Oddly for games of this period it's multiplayer only, similar to say Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with no single player mode. You actually have to have friends to play this and, much like the Game Boy Advanced, they must be sat in front in of you. Mercifully, batteries and link cables are not required which could explain some of its popularity. Chess has evolved a rich tournament following too and global competitions are held regularly, accumulating five times the viewers of the League of Legends World Championships. The game does have its draw backs. It’s very easy for novices to get into a none winnable situation, two pieces following each other round the board until someone nods off. A little of ...

Pokemon Sapphire (GBA)

Here we have the 3 rd Generation of Pokémon Games for the Nintendo handheld console. Sapphire and Ruby. Not a great deal has changed since the first generation and nor will it for the next six. The game consists of you skuttling around a made-up Japanese island hunting creatures into servitude. The poor beings follow you on a long excursion of frequent and arduous battles with other trainers. Eventually culminating in your crowning as Pokémon master of masters of the universe! or some such. The game is a heavily disguised version of more traditional Role-Playing Games. Rather than fighting yourself though, you thrust your hapless creatures in the role of ready cannon fodder. Carefully selecting moves against opponent types in an overly complex version of rock, paper scissors. Your minions evolve, change (sometimes unrecognisably from before) and learn completely new moves. The evolution of these little buddies is quite satisfying, and you soon become quite attached to a few of t...

System Shock 2 (PC) - The Greatest Game EVER!

Well, at least that’s what I tell people. You know what it’s like: you get into one of those discussions about why such and such is a large pile of toss, then without fail you start spouting pristine examples of the genre. Undoubtedly, you will mention Okami, Perfect Dark, Mario 64, perhaps even Silent Hill. These regurgitations are so well oiled by now that you’ll hear the same few examples spouted again and again (perhaps because there are so few good examples) until they reverberate around your own sub-consciousness and you recite them without a second thought. I’m as guilty as the rest of them I’m afraid. My own personal favourite knee-jerk reaction to such situations is System Shock 2. I’m not trying to say that those titles are totally without merit or that we’re only repeating others' opinions, just that maybe most echoes going around might be the result of a little Danger Mouse effect. You know about the Danger Mouse effect, surely? From your childhood it’s your most loved ...
