If you complete Resident Evil 4 on the Wii, you get access to bonus missions, and you unlock two additional weapons; a handgun that can fire three bullets at a time and a (very expensive) rocket launcher that comes supplied with an unlimited amount of rockets though.

I’d just like to add my voice to all those other people out there who are recommending Resident Evil 4 for the Wii. Most of whom, no doubt, will be using the same pun. If you like dark, eerie FPS’s, you’ll like this. That’s it. Now go buy it.

I’m currently the tennis champion, and professional in another two events, while not particularly playing the last two because I don’t like ‘em.

When I posted the other week about not really knowing what to talk about, someone suggested that I update you all with what’s been happening on the Wii lately. Well, lately, nothing. I nearly bought a new game yesterday, but I didn’t. I’m absolutely desperate to get a new game.

Get in! I’ve completed the PC Game Oblivion this week, which I highly recommended in a post from September last year called Fear and Loathing in Cyrodil City.

Seb was just asking if the Wii was gathering dust or if I’ve been using it much lately. Well, it’s not gathering dust. I’ve been playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 on the old Wii. Despite not being a particular fan of golf, I absolutely loved the golf game that game with Wii Sports, and [...]

Yes, according to my Wii, I have achieved peak fitness. I apparently have the body of a 20 year old. And no cracks about it being buried under the floorboards, please … Dan achieved a fitness of 20 on the 13th January, putting him fifteen days ahead of me. On the other hand, I think [...]
