Link's Crossbow Training

Points: 9
First places: 1



You say:
"Link's Crossbow Training would've made a wonderful bonus mode in Twilight Princess, but as it stands, I can see this game being fun in multiplayer, and a decent enough distraction for a solo player with a few minutes going spare for a quick session. It's extremely short, but getting the gold crests will take plenty of practice, and it is fun to go on a quick sightseeing tour of TP's Hyrule."
"...I was glad I bought it [the Wii Zapper] for this game. It may not have seen much play but it was fun whilst it lasted."

I say: Well it's ugly as sin, just like the game that spawned it; but that game was pretty good, so I'm not surprised that this is too. Albeit on a lesser scale.

Geometry Wars Galaxies

Points: 14
First places: 1



You say:
"...Galaxies was a stark improvement over the original. Some great frenetic shooting going on in this."
"Awesome game that I'd never have gotten into if it were not for NGamer. Simple and clever but very difficult."

I say: I must confess that I own this, played the first level, and then never played it again. And that's a shame, because I enjoyed that first level... just not enought to re-insert the disc. As such, I felt I could only give this my third place, leaving my second empty. Maybe some day... (He says, not very convincingly.)

Red Steel

Points: 18
First places: 1



You say:
"I really, really liked it. I thought it was zany brilliance. I agreed with Matthew... although I do think the controls could have been tighter."
"A game which highlighted the effectiveness of the Wii remote on a shooting game level, it may no longer be up to scratch but it was a great use of the original software."

I say: Fifth on my list, I picked it up at launch like many and had a few hours blasting stuff. It was reasonably fun. Apparently superseded by its sequel, by that time I was convinced that I'd never enjoy another shooter - a feeling only enhanced by...

Resident Evil 4

Points: 22
First places: 3



You say:
"The best version of one of the (supposed) best games of all time. While I feel that’s a bit dramatic I do agree that it’s quite good."
"In my eyes the best Resident evil to date. Great difficulty and atmosphere, the shooting was a highlight, ill never forget shooting religious cult members in the knee in order to do a SUPLEX!!! (and then going home to play the game )"

I say: Played it once. Got taken out by villagers. Traded it in. Yeah, I don't like shooters much.

Chicken Shoot

...Sorry Jay, I can't go through with this.

Sin & Punishment: Successor of the Skies

Points: 27
First places: 4



You say:
"Takes all that is great about the 64 version and builds on it, the controls work so well with the wiimote great Japanese soundtrack and graphics that stand up to be some of the best on the console."
"...developed by Treasure what else is there to say?"
"A phenomenal Wii-exclusive and as pure as gaming can get."
"1: Sin & Punishment: SotS
2: Sin & Punishment: SotS
3: Sin & Punishment: SotS
4: Sin & Punishment: SotS"

I say: Remember when I said that I don't like shooters much? That was a lie: I don't like most shooters much. I loved this, even though it was still too hard for me on Normal (bloody level 6). Like three other people, I gave this a first-place vote: apart from its storyline being anime as anything, the firefighting action was frantic and responsive, the boss battles just the right level of crazy, and the game in general was spectacular. A worthy winner, and (unlike last week) utterly unsurprising.
