I really liked last year’s DBZ game, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit 2. It felt like the franchise had finally achieved some serious attention with a game that was both deep and fun.
This year, we …
Suddenly, we’ve gone straight from winter weather to summer weather here, and it’s pretty disconcerting for April. Not that I’m complaining that it didn’t go in the opposite direction, but spring to summer would have been nice. Or even spring to spring, which would have made sense. Welcome to the northeast, amirite? Woo!
Anyway, it’s almost May, and you’re probably not as broke as I am right now, so you want to spend some cash on Wii games, I know it. Here’s some good ideas of the big titles hitting this Mortal May.

trailer, enemy planes really pop. on 31 March 2007
“As I’ve mentioned
earlier, I am keeping
an eye on Heatseeker,
which doesn’t have a concrete release date yet. I’m very impressed by
the impact cam innovation, which could make for some great fun when the
bad guys go kablooie.
It seems to me a
dogfighting game would be an ideal candidate for
online co-op or competitive play, particularly with voice chat.
Wouldn’t it be nice to see a surprise like that? Well, no luck there.
No plans for online play in this one yet, as far as I can tell.”

Mortal Kombat is one of those series that I never really got into, and
I really thought the train of sequels was rolling downhill. I’m the
first to admit it was really lack of experience with the game that put
me in that perspective. When others were playing Mortal Kombat, I was
playing Street Fighter, Eternal Champions and even the occasional round
of Virtua Fighter.
The past couple of iterations of Mortal Kombat have reviewed strongly,
and one of the strongest games in the series saw release last year on
PS2 and Xbox: Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Now, it’s got the Wii
treatment, with the graphics polished up and gesture controls that make
perfect sense once you see them in action. Remember doing a
quarter-circle back on a D-pad then think about drawing that shape in
the air with the remote. Which is easier?
The argument I hear most when I mention that is that it would make the
game too easy if you could execute all the moves. Well, no. It would
make the game fair. It’s the ridiculous button combos we need to learn
to do the moves that make fighting games so inaccessible. I’m dying to
try this game.
