The Wii has been justifiably criticized as a dumping ground for shovelware and casual games that fail to serve hardcore gamers. Yet, those players who want epic games with original ideas, challenging gameplay and engaging stories can find all of that on the Wii if they know where to look. While some core Wii titles have fallen short of...

I’m not a big sports guy. I don’t play sports, I don’t watch sports, and if all professional sports were to disappear from the world I wouldn’t notice for a very long time. And yet, there are sports video games that are exciting to me as real sports are to others. Here are the best ones I’

Readers choices for the best Wii workout games.

The Nintendo Wii is the first console that people buy as much for its health benefits as for its gaming uses. The console is the home to both gym-style fitness games and games that, while not specifically designed to keep you in shape, are as physically demanding as a real sport.

Most of these add-ons are simple pieces of plastic that, if well made, add a little extra fun to a game, but some are downright kooky. These ar…

This has been the best year yet for Wii games. There are more than ten must-have games this year, so I ve had to leave off some great games like GoldenEye 007 and Trauma Team as well as others that, while not the best of 2010, could easily have been the best of 2009 or 2008. 2010 is the first year in which a lot of the best Wii games were...
