It’s an argument that has been going on for year now, are video games an art form? Well this argument has sparked again with film critic Roger Ebert claiming that video games “will never be an art form.”

*Keep in mind I have not played the original Red Steel, so I won’t be making any comparisons between the two.*

The Wii remote was destined to be used as a katana!

During the Wii’s launch, one of the most hyped games for the console was Red Steel, a first-person shooter/slasher game that was promised to be a great display of the Wii’s capabilities with a “hardcore” title. Red Steel came along, and most were disappointed with it, people found it a bit too clunky. It wasn’t until Metroid Prime 3 was released that people were reassured of the possibilities of a first-person adventure on the Wii. But Ubisoft took notes and decided to make a sequel to Red Steel that promised to be more polished. But does the first game made exclusively for Wii MotionPlus live up to its promise? Or does it suffer the fate of its predecessor? Read more

Megaman 10 marks another entry in legendary video game series Megaman. The series, which laid dormant for eleven years, was revived in 2008 with the release of Megaman 9, which also revived the 8-bit NES graphic style and has clearly had an influence on other games (like the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4).

Only this time, instead of the heroes (and villains) of the many games of Capcom doing battle against the likes of Marvel comics super heroes, they take on characters from the famous Japanese anime/manga company, Tatsunoko.

So do the two powerhouses compliment each other? Or is the combination more obscure than fun? Read more

*Note that this review is based on the Xbox 360 version of the game. If I get any of the other versions I will be sure to comment on the differences in the control schemes.*

Sonic and SEGA and racing! Oh my!

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is, as its name suggests, a racing game starring some of the many mascots of SEGA. It is a go-kart game that, like countless others before it, tries to capitalize on the winning formula originally created in the Mario Kart series. But does Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing cross the finish line? Or does it have a few flat tires? Read more

While the title of this post really leaves little else to be explained, I figured I may as well elaborate. Read more

*Here’s another game from 2009*

No Mike Tyson this time around.

The Wii iteration of Punch-Out is a 2009 video game by Next Level games, and serves as a retro revival for the classic Punch-Out!! series, which was a massive classic on the NES, and even had a big impact on the SNES. But does this revival live up to its predecessors? Read more
