Review | Link's Crossbow Training + Wii Zapper
Quarrelsome.
When the Wii Zapper was announced at E3 2007, there was a collective groan here at Eurogamer Dungeons. As a plastic cradle to hold a Wii Remote and Nunchuk, we wondered exactly how it was going to offer more value than one of those Wii accessory packs that you find in bargain bins across the land. Or just holding it differently. After all, is Wii Sports Golf really that much more like playing golf if you've got a tiny plastic golf club attached to your Wii Remote?

Which is an apt description, since you basically can't steer.

Review | Dewy's Adventure
A bit wet?
You could be forgiven for thinking that Elebits was a cute, good-hearted piece of family fun, but it's really very sinister. It's all fun and games when you're gamboling around a garden, smashing pots and uprooting plants and peeking under cars, or when you're on a rampage in Dad's study pulling books off the shelves and making a glorious mess in order to drive out hordes of gleeful little electricity creatures. Elebits almost certainly go somewhere nice once they're zapped into your electricity gun, after all.
