Nyko's Wand+ controller isn't reinventing the wheel, it's simply doing what the wheel does for a little less money and without two pieces. In fact... let's get away from this metaphor before I hurt myself.

The Wand+ is Nyko's take on the Wiimote, albeit with the Motion Plus technology built-in. There is no dongle, there is no extension on the controller—it's just one standard-sized Wiimote that does everything the Motion Plus does. We tested the controller by playing Wii Sports Resort and it worked flawlessly, just as well as the official controllers. Isn't that the mark of greatness when it comes to third-party accessories? Even after switching back and forth between the Wand+ and the first-party controller we couldn't feel a difference in accuracy or responsiveness.

It does feature a few design eccentricities: the power button is now on the right hand side of the controller, the A-button is square and a little larger, and the plastic has a smoother feel than the standard controller. To my hand all these things are actually advantages over the official controller, but that's more preference than fact. This is simply a comfortable, attractive Wiimote.

At $39.99 MSRP it's even $10 cheaper than the standard Wiimote with a Motion Plus dongle at most retailers. If you're tired of losing your Motion Plus attachment, or you don't like the added length of the dongle, this is a good alternative. It's neither flashy nor an amazing leap forward. It simply does everything as advertised. There's nothing wrong with that.

Verdict: Buy

Batman is an always an interesting character, but the most recent takes on the Caped Crusader have been almost oppressively dark. Go back and read the comics that took place before Year One and you'll find a Batman that sometimes smiles, is much more at peace with himself, and gets the job done with a sort of sly humor. That Batman is on full display in this Wii game, an adaptation of the titular cartoon.

The game is rendered in a beautiful hand-drawn animation style, with bright colors, interesting camera angles, and above all, a sense of fun. This may be aimed squarely at younger gamers, but adults are going to find much to like.

Classic Game Room reviews the NINTENDO Wii video game console! The Wii could be Nintendo’s best console since the original NES Nintendo Entertainment System. The Wii is a revolutionary gaming system and this Wii review shows what makes the Wii special vs. the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Is the Wii for you, would you rather play Wii fit or shoot things with massive laser cannons in HDTV graphics? The Wii may not be hi-def but it is hi-tech (owwww, that sucked!) and has a really unique controller that uses motion sensing technology and a nunchuk to make actions happen on the screen. The Wii is marketed as a unique social gaming console with a more family appropriate array of games. It gets you up off the couch (if you want that… boo standing!) and can have you dacing around the room playing games like Wii Sports Bowling, Golf and Far Cry Vengeance. This is a unique CGR review of the Wii not seen anywhere else, where Classic Game Room pours 30+ years of gaming experience over the Wii. Does the system have what it takes to be successful (it already is), will the Wii sell out in stores (yes), will the Wii dominate the universe in a way not seen since the Atari 2600??? With the unique controller, Nintendo proprietary games like Mario Cart, Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption one could say the Wii has a chance… Wii vs. PS3 vs. Xbox 360. Bring it on into Classic Game Room stadium!

The original Sin and Punishment was a cult classic for the Nintendo 64 among game importers in the US, and it finally took the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console to bring the game to the States. It was worth the wait, especially now that Nintendo listened to our American howls of agony at having to pass up such a great shooter and released its sequel on the Wii: Sin and Punishment: Star Successor.

Treasure has a reputation for creating beautiful, crushingly hard shooters for a variety of platforms—their releases include titles like Gunstar Heroes, Bangai-O, Ikaruga, and Radiant Silvergun—and this is a game that you shouldn't be ashamed to play on the easiest setting until you get a feel for the controls and the surprisingly many ways you can fight back against the overwhelming enemy forces. This isn't your standard shooter; you have plenty of moves at your disposal.

The Trauma Center games deliver two things: fast-paced, tension-filled surgeries where steady hands and accuracy will get you higher rankings, and insane melodramatic storylines. Trauma Team continues both of those series trademarks, but now the actual gameplay mechanics have been expanded and tweaked in order to give a broader experience that still retains the feel of the original games.

In short, it's a blast, and should delight even long-term fans. The game no longer feels like a grind; you can now switch between six characters and multiple gameplay styles to keep the experience fresh. The characters may be saving lives, but that doesn't keep them from being absolutely barmy.

When Mega Man 9 came out in 2008, it had the luxury of being the first game in the original series to be released in over a decade. Mega Man 10, released this week on Xbox Live Arcade (and already available on WiiWare and the Playstation Network) doesn't have that luxury. But instead of simply being a rehash of old ideas wrapped up in a nostalgia-driven package, the tenth entry in the venerable series ends up being a refreshing, and surprisingly approachable, outing for the Blue Bomber.

Mega Man's latest adventure sees him joining up with long time foe Dr. Wily in an attempt to find a cure for robotenza, a mysterious virus that's been plaguing the robot population. As you'd expect, finding the cure involves finding and defeating eight robot masters and, like every other game in the series, you can tackle these foes in any order you choose, and finding the correct sequence is the key to success. One of the more controversial additions to MM10 has been the inclusion of an easy mode. With the difficulty turned down, enemies become weaker and levels themselves are actually altered, with platforms placed over spikes and pitfalls. It also makes the boss battles significantly easier, and, in many cases, removes the need to use any special weapons. Instead, you can simply blast your way through most boss battles without relying on much strategy.

The Blue Bomber gets ready to hitch a ride in Mega Man 10.

But with the difficulty set to normal, the game as just as fiendishly hard as you remember. The enemies are tough. The platforming requires precision. And the bosses force you into pattern memorization. In other words, classic Mega Man. But MM10 also introduces some new, and very impressive ideas, as well. There are giant blocks of ice that slowly crumble and giant sand storms that obscure the entire screen. Some enemies self-duplicate until destroyed while others are actually speeding robot buses. Arguably the most notable stage is Sheep Man's, which features conveyor belts that actually produce electricity, powering platforms for a limited time.

Really, Mega Man 10 is exactly what fans of the series are looking for. It features a great balance of classic gameplay and new ideas, and is packed with plenty of quirky personality—from robot snowmen and floating, electric tufts of wool to a totally rockin', old-school soundtrack—to satisfy the even the most die-hard fan. But, two decades after the original, it's also the most approachable game in the series to date, making it the perfect entry point to players who haven't yet been acquainted with the Blue Bomber.

There isn't another game quite like Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon on the market. Recently published by XSEED here in the States, it's a blend of adventure, role-playing, and survival horror genres that is simultaneously fascinating and tedious. It's a title with stellar production values, an excellent story, and play mechanics that hover somewhere between solid and tedious. As a result, this is a game that—if nothing else—is truly a unique experience.

The game's story stars a young man named Seto, one of a small group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world. As opposed to other post-apocalyptic settings, the game's world is mostly abandoned; humans still exist, but they're few and far between. After the old man Seto was living with dies, the boy sets off to find other people living amongst the ruins of civilization. Along the way, Seto begins to learn the story of what caused humanity to disappear and why this ruined world is populated by ghosts and demons. It's a slow-paced plot, but it is smart, interesting, and engaging.
