Wooo-oooo-ooo-ooooo!

Advantages: Super Cute, Great Fun, Nice Sound Effects, I could go on and on...
Disadvantages: I could go on and on!

...about Pikmin. ****** Pikmin was released in Europe by Nintendo in June 2002 and is regarded by many as one of the best Gamecube games ever released. Nintendo were clever to bring out games themselves for their own console, (meaning you couldn't buy them for a console you already owned), as playing Pikmin REALLY made me want a Gamecube! In Pikmin you play the part of Olimar, an astronaut who has crashed on a strange planet with an atmosphere of ...
...yourself a Pikmin! The Pikmin are small creatures, (a bit smaller than Olimar who is apparently 4cm tall), which are either red, yellow or blue. Each colour of Pikmin has it's own special abilities, (for instance you can throw yellow Pikmin higher, blue can survive in water and red are more aggressive), and each colour has it's own "onion". You find the red onion straight away but you have to search for the other two colours further afield. As soon ...

The cutest little workers in the world

Advantages: Adorable, good fun game, good for the whole family
Disadvantages: Expensive though it's been out for years

...game for me than Pikmin? Pikmin are absolutely adorable little things, with huge eyes that stare at you, and they follow you around and do what you tell them to. How much cuter could you get? Before I played it, I had seen Pikmin in shops before and not bought it, even though it looked adorable and I had a gamecube, because it was usually £30 (rip off) and by the name I used to think it was something trying to be the new Pokemon, which was an assumption ...
...told me that he had Pikmin 2 on gamecube, but since he didn't have a console to play it on, he offered to let me borrow it and play it on the wii. Of course I said yes, as who am I to turn down a free game? *The story* Upon starting to play, it became obvious quickly that this was in no way trying to be Pokemon, and my assumption was totally wrong. The story of Pikmin 2 picks up from the end of Pikmin 1, which I haven't played, in which a small ...

XIII...cel shaded graphics, great multiplayer and very addictive

Advantages: Great sound effects, Amazing multiplayer, Unmatchable longevity, Graphics will appeal to some
Disadvantages: The graphics will put some people off, Story mode can be complete rather quickly

XIII has your character waking up on a beach, injured and, attempting to make sense of events as he has amnesia. This First Person Shooter (FPS) does not break any ground in terms of gameplay or storyline, however what it does it pulls off remarkably well and is a very fun game in its own right. Graphics The very first thing the player will notice and the issue that players will either love or hate are the unique graphics. XIII drops the notion ...
... The gameplay is XIII is similar to most other FPS games but that is no bad thing, though there are extra touches which set the game apart. The ability to pick up and move a body is not just a visual thing, it is necessary in some of the later levels when stealth is required. You can pick up almost all weaponry used against you, from throwing knives to a Bazooka. Each weapon handles differently, such as the powerful but inaccurate AK47 to the obviously ...
