Virginmedia: Hands-on Preview: Let's Tap

VM writes: "Let's Tap offers up five very different mini-games, each of them controlled using nothing more than simple tapping motions. While the Wii remote can be used in standard fashion to navigate menus, each game requires players to place their controller face-down on some form of flat surface that will easily transmit vibrations. At SEGA's recent preview event all the journalists were given boxes of tissues, and that seemed to be the perfect choice: if you get a bit upset after an embarrassing loss then you'll have something you can use to wipe the tears from your eyes. And if you win and get over-excited, you could... well, you get the idea."

I agree. Those two games were ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz.

La Noire was just a big tech demo for their new facial animations.

L.A Noire was a big disappointment to me. Quite repetitive, boasted one hell of a huuge nicely rendered map that was practically full of nothing to do.

Restrictive gameplay scenarios in how you approach / solve cases. The facial animations is what was amazing, but the rest was a letdown especially with the amount of little things you can do in the game.

Depends on personal preference/choice. I loved Heavy Rain. It was something new and fresh, and I'm glad I played it.

The Wiire: Let's Tap Review

The Wiire writes: "Could A Wii game that you play without touching the Wiimote possibly be fun?

Nintendo claims they are "innovators." With the Wii, the DS and the Dsi, many believe that Nintendo has lived up to their claims. Even with these innovations on the hardware side, there is little argument that there is a lack of innovation in third-party developed software. With a few exceptions in games like Boom Blox, not many games find interesting mechanics besides the basic waggle."
