Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep
The ocean? Brilliant. I bet there are all sorts of things to kill down there, like the batty inhabitants of an underwater capitalist society free of religion and governments. Maybe there's some mutant sharks you need to shoot with harpoon guns, or even underwater terrorists. This is a videogame, after all.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
It will probably come in very handy, the game says. It's referring to the Spirit Flute, and is making the understatement of the year. The latest Zelda might happen to be called Spirit Tracks, and its imagery might be suffused with steamy, quasi-industrial iconography, but it's the magical pan pipes which underpin the entire experience. It's the game's equivalent of the Ocarina or Wand of Wind, just without receiving nearly as much recognition in the game.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The negative qualities of the Wii are often mentioned. The common ones: it's comparatively expensive for what you get, SD graphics look crummier than ever and the supply of quality games seems to be a little on the sparse side. Say what you might about Nintendo's money-printing license, New Super Mario Bros. Wii proves that Nintendo's premier design guru Shigeru Miyamoto is still at the top of his game. We'll just forget last year's Wii Music ever happened.
