"Today for review THQ has sent me over The Last Airbender for the Wii. The game is based upon the movie of the same name. The game follows through the view of Prince Zuko whereas the movie followed Aaang, so in the game you get a different perspective on things than the movie offers. It’s something new really and not exactly a game based on a movie as one might think of when you think of movie based games. That’s a good thing as most movie based games don’t work well usually. So I’ve got a ton of screen shots and a rather long game play movie for you, along with my thoughts and impressions of the game…  "

" Today for review I’ve got the Wii game based on the TV show The Biggest Loser, and it’s actually not bad, think Wii Fit on steroids. The Biggest Loser game is much more than just a bunch of exercises for you to get into shape, though it does have a plethora of them for you to do. The game features the ability to help you lose weight or just get in shape if you need to. In The Biggest Loser you’ll find full menus with directions to make healthy food, everything from snacks and main courses, all the way down to desserts. I’m not fat by any measure, but not being fat doesn’t mean that I’m in shape, after all how much exercise do I get while sitting at a desk most of the day?! So if you’re looking for a decent and fun way to help you get in shape or lose weight you might want to check out The Biggest Loser, even if you don’t like the show, the game will offer something for everyone to help you achieve you fitness and weight goals…"

Yesterday I posted my review of the new Cars game from THQ, Cars Race O Rama. It’s not a bad game, but it’s one that is truly aimed at children. For kids it’s a good game, they like it and it’s fun an safe…

“The Cars series has been around for about three years now, and it’s still alive and kicking and I have to say still doing very well in popularity.  You might think the movie has been milked of all the spin-offs you could get from it, but then something new comes along like what I have today for review, Cars Race O Rama for the Nintendo Wii. This game features a ton of content that will keep the little ones busy for a long time. Yes this is a game that is aimed at children, it’s Cars after all, and it features all of their favorite characters along with 15 new ones as well. If you’ve got kids who are Cars fans then I think they’ll truly enjoy this game and spend a lot of time playing it…”

I’ve got another Wii game review posted over at TestFreaks now. It’s World of Zoo and it’s just a great game for children.

Quote:

“Today for review I’ve got another game for the Nintendo Wii, and again it’s from THQ. The game is World of Zoo and it’s a game that is truly aimed at smaller children, it’s a game that fits into a category all by itself really. You might think it’s some Zoo Tycoon type game, but there you would be very mistaken, it’s nothing like it at all. This game is unique and it’s actually a lot of fun to play, it’s one that younger children will just love. In World of Zoo you not only have your own zoo, but you can even create your own customized animals and then play with, take care of them and even pet them. It’s an overly cute game yes, but that’s not a bad thing because it’s aimed at young children and World of Zoo is one of those games that is just perfectly made for children.

As a parent of young children I try not to expose them to violence in gaming and other media, with games I can pretty much control what they play. World of Zoo is pretty much the perfect game for small children. It’s bright and colorful, creative and fun and overall it’s a game that’s easy to play and it even will teach your children a few things about animals courtesy of National Geographic. So read on to learn more about a great kid game…”

This is our first review, it took a while but I finally got around to getting it done. It’s a game that I had high hopes for but just fell flat truly.

For review today I have JU-ON: The Grudge : Haunted House Simulator. This game is loosely based on the movies of the same name, and their original Japanese counterpart. I like horror and the Grudge was a decent scary movie so I was a bit excited about a game based on it. The basic idea is that you play one of the characters in the game, it’s sort of a first person shooter, but there’s not shooting involved, you’ve got a flashlight and that’s it. The game takes place in different locations with you trying to escape with your life basically in each one. it does have some actual scary moments where you’ll jump, but the controls are horrid to the point that the game is no long any fun.
