MARIO
KART WII LAUNCH EVENT
If
Mario Kart Wii isn't the biggest release of the year so far (and
in our minds it definitely is) then it's certainly the biggest
Wiilease so far (see what we did there?)
So
we were delighted to have the opportunity to attend the launch
event for the game, watching the final battles of the Mario Kart
Tournament and getting stuck in with the game itself. Read on
to find out what the day held in store.

TIME
CRISIS 4
It
seems like the light-gun revival is well underway, but while the
Wii has been pioneering it so far with its perfectly suited control
system, the PS3 has now decided to get in on the act.
Time
Crisis has always been one of the most popular and classic light-gun
series in the arcades and its conversions to console have been
generally well received. Can Time Crisis 4 continue this tradition,
or will it fail to compete among games that are truly next generation?

SPELLFORCE
UNIVERSE
Straddling
too genres is never an easy thing, and often games that try to
do this will find themselves falling between the two in a crushed,
uncomfortable kind of way.
Not
SpellForce though, which mixes the two big PC genres of real-time
strategy and RPG together with great success, providing a refreshing
take on both and an excellent game all round. Even better is the
news that this new collection features both SpellForce games and
all three expansion packs! Bargain of the year? You'd better believe
it!
