Lost In Shadow Nintendo Wii Game Review



The Nintendo Wii was definitely the stand-out console of 2010 when you look back at the exclusive titles released for the system, this has continued into 2011 with the release of "Lost In Shadow" an inventive and unique platformer that follows the shadow of a boy and it's journey up a tower to be reunited with it's master. If you have played ICO and Limbo, think of what a mixture of those two games would produce and that's what to expect here.

The simple, yet genius idea of how light and shadow interact is the concept that makes Lost in Shadow such a unique platforming experience. Sometimes the complex level design and difficulty can get in the way of what is truly a wonderful game, however the solid gameplay and fantastic art direction make this one of the games not to miss out on in 2011.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle



In 2008 the Nintendo Wii seen the release of a surprisingly violent game in "No More Heroes". This game had brutal violence, sex, bloodshed, and seemed out of place on the otherwise squeaky clean Nintendo Wii console. Suda 51 invented a unique world which felt half-way between his previous works and something far into the future, mashed-up with Japanese cinema, punk style, and classic spaghetti westerns. While the game lacked polish and had far too many issues to be considered a modern day classic, it became a cult-fan favourite and deservedly so.
