Red Steel - Nintendo Wii - A Review

As most users of the Wii will tell you the interactive Wii remote with a nunchuck makes for a great gaming experience. Particularly if you are mimicking the slash of a sword or the swing of a bat. However the one thing that is difficult with the Wii remote is the difficultly in aiming the remote like a gun - this becomes particularly apparent in Red Steel. Holding the Wii remote in your hand in the traditional way means you hold it in an overhand grip and aim from the wrist. Not the easiest to do, especially in the game Red Steel. I haven't even finished the game because of this and a number of other fatal flaws. In particularly the graphics are very dark - maybe the game designers thought they were setting a mood, but when it becomes difficult to shoot at your enemies because you can't see them - then as a shoot them up this game fails in the most important aspect - playability. The game also gave me a head ache if I played it too long - a sure sign that the game was making too many demands on the eyes of the user.

You can over come the difficulty in aiming by buying the 'gun' setup accessory for your Wii which places your remote on the front of a "rifle" and the nunchuck on the back of the "rifle stock". I can't advise if the straight pistol accessory will work and it doesn't have this option advertised on the cover.

The story line is pretty lame and heavily Japanese influenced. You are a security guard for a Yakuza crime lord's daughter and you end up being her new boyfriend (yeh right - like I could see that really happening - rich people don't marry the help!). While going to visit her daddy all hell breaks loose and you spend the rest of the game going from one dark and graphically unappealing place to another shooting nearly everything in site - it only gets interesting when you get to saw a sword. Shoot em up's like the classic medal of honor series leave this game for dead.

My advice don't waste your money on this one - its a lemon and on special for a reason.

Why not download some classic Nintendo games instead, visit http://nintendo-wii-fanatic.blogspot.com for great links to download sites.

NDS Fire Card - Distinct Advantages of the DS Fire Cards

Are you still undecided about which storage device to get for your DS games? If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the choices you have, then learning about the advantages of the NDS Fire Card should make your decision easier. No matter what your priorities are, you'll find that this card offers the best way to download and play all of your favorite DS games.

If you've had the unpleasant experience of having to use an external memory system like FlashMe or PassMe, you won't have to worry about it with an NDS Fire Card. Once you have the games transferred over to the card from the DS Fire Link, all you have to do is slide the card into Slot 1 on your DS for instant gameplay. No other pieces of equipment are required to be able to play your games.

The NDS Fire Card comes in many sizes, as far as storage capacity. For people who only play occasionally or who mostly play one or two games, there are smaller sizes available. Most people prefer the 16Gbit version, since this size allows you to store as many games as you want. You'll also have room for more if you want to add or change any in the future.

The user interface on the NDS Fire Card is one of the most convenient ones to navigate. You can find the game you want fast by using the touch menu, which makes going through your catalog of games easy and painless. If you were considering the DSTT, you should be aware that the interface is known for being hard to use. You won't have a simple folder browser to use, and you can't sort your games alphabetically in order to find them faster. There's also a lag when scrolling through the menu.

The NDS Fire Card also provides extra features, such as the ability to download skins. This lets you personalize your DS screen and further customize it with Photoshop. Other storage devices, such as the R4 DS, do not have these perks, leaving you with a plain, boring interface. If these added bonuses are important to you, then you'll want to get the NDS Fire Card.

There's a scene here as well afterward, when it's over climb the stairs and grab the chests on the left and right side of the temple entrance for a Gorgon Eye and a Phoenix Feather. Inside the actual temple run to the top end and grab the staties there, you can pull them out to reveal two chests, both multicoloured. These statues actually serve a purpose, you may have noticed by now that the swarm of harpies is literally unending, and for that reason you cannot continue any further (you'll see why if you climb the stairs.) What you need to do is drag the left statues down and use it to block the left hole, then drag the right statue down and use it to block the right hole. Now take out any remaining harpies and voila, you're free. Take the lower left gate next to yet another multicoloured chest and lift it up. Before going up the stairs jump up onto the ledge to your right, here you will find a chest with another Gorgon Eye. On the adjacent side there's a chest full of red orbs.
