Blend Games writes: "Ever since EA announced they were working with Stephen Spielberg to produce a game we've waited to hear the tale. What swashbuckling tale of triumph and visual spectacle could Spielberg and the power structure at EA come up with? Then not too long ago the first project was announced and it left us shaking our heads in bewilderment. Boom Blox is not the first concept you think of when Spielberg is attached to a project.
But here's the secret of Boom Blox: the core concept is golden. The purpose of the game is to allow families and groups in general gather to have fun. This is where the game will shine. Rather than involving disinterested wives and children in epic interactive narrative, Boom Blox instead focuses on short bursts of gameplay. Plus Spielberg is right; people do enjoy knocking things over."
With the Wii U coming out tomorrow the staff of VGutopia decided to take a look back at the top 10 Wii games that came out over the past six years.
On the eve of the Wii U, The National Post's Post Arcade team looks back at 10 Wii classics.
From fun times with everyone’s favourite plumber to stretchy, googly-eyed balls of goo [there's] no better way to bid your outgoing Wii a fond farewell than to scrounge around the bargain bins of used games stores and grab a few of these bona fide classics.
Monster Hunter Tri- and The Last Story (which I need to finish still) are some games that I certainly will not forget.
GamesBeat reached out to some key games industry figures (from Nintendo, 2D Boy, Gaijin Games, and more) to ask which Wii titles they think deserved a wider audience. Here are their thoughts.
There's so many great games on Wii that get overlooked, and then gamers complain about no new games... How about A Boy and His Blob, Sin and Punishment 2, Madworld, Lost in Shadow, Lit, Dead Space Extraction, Fragile Dreams, No More Heroes 1 and 2, the Res Evil Chronicles games, Sakura Wars, Lost Winds, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Epic Mickey, de Blob, the Bit.Trip games... That's totally ignoring any first party titles, and I'm probably forgetting a bunch. With La Mulana and Retro City Rampage and Last Story coming out, the Wii has been a lot of fun!
Zack & Wiki takes my pick. Really hope Capcom would do a sequel. Wishful thinking at best.
I did play some of these games:Cave story,Boom blox(didn't really like it)Fire emblem,Wario Land shake(see boom blox),&Excite truck
