If you were hoping that The Complete Saga would push the series into new territory, you'll be disappointed. At its best, the game is a well-polished collection of a pair of quickly-ageing gems. At its worst, it feels a tad stagnant, and we hope TT's upcoming LEGO-based games, LEGO Batman and LEGO Indiana Jones take the idea in a fresh direction. So aside from the camera controls, not-so-snappy studs and some problems with pacing in a handful of places, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga is a solid game with good Wii implementation. Motion controls are there if you want them, but the game also plays well without the feature. If you've waited until now to try Lego Star Wars, this is definitely the game to buy. If you've already visited this far-away snap-together galaxy, you've probably seen it all before.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a fantastic game. The single-player experience is easily Infinity Ward's best work to date. Calling it intense may be an understatement. The overall story is standard action movie fare, but the relationships built over the short five hours of play are surprisingly strong. Though the single-player lacks length, the multiplayer should keep you invested in COD4 for the long winter. This is a truly fantastic multiplayer offering that's as deep as any other online game available. Infinity Ward has done it again. Call of Duty 4 is a winner.

Gate of Thunder was an absolutely excellent choice to become the first game in the Wii Shop to have come from the TurboGrafx-CD. And while its branding there and on your Wii's Channel Array won't reflect that, it's undeniable once you launch the game – the soundtrack is explosive, and sounds amazing even when adapted into VC digital distribution form from its original CD source. Gate's gameplay, too, separates it from other side-scrolling shooters by keeping you more engaged, with more choices to make in the middle of tense firefights – will you take things slow, or set the ship to maximum speed? Will you attack all out in front, or split your focus to cover the rear as well? Overall, Gate of Thunder is just a very solid, satisfying and musically impressive title that is well worth your 800 Wii Point investment. So check it out.

Zoo Hospital is one of those games that seems perfect for an aspiring veterinarian or animal buff, and it almost is. It's got a solid presentation, a large assortment of great looking animals, and a simple but fun interface. Unfortunately the game is over in a couple of hours, and with no way to track progress, or up the difficulty it gets boring. It's the beginning of a great game, but it feels like the game went to stores before the developer could finish the procedure.

There’s no doubt that Switchball is worth your hard-earned Microsoft Points if you’re into puzzlers. It offers an innovative look at ball-centric XBLA games with its different abilities that stay fresh throughout the five separate environments. The multiplayer and single-player come together to provide for hours of enjoyment, now if only the camera were a bit more forgiving. It has its faults, but for 800 Microsoft Points you could certainly do much worse.

Overall though, there’s no denying the pure entertainment of Medal of Honor Heroes 2. The game controls amazingly well with IR, is customizable to a ridiculous degree, includes impressive 32-player online play that runs far better than EA’s other online efforts, and even includes some casual-friendly modes with Arcade mode. The game looks beautiful, runs in 16:9 and 480p, and sets the bar extremely high for other Wii FPS titles, as it equips players with the customization necessary to suit each player’s unique tastes. Wii isn’t just about being casual-friendly, and Heroes 2 gets that. With more complex controls built in to the system, hardcore gamers will need more options and customization to make use of the technology, and Heroes 2 puts players in charge of how they want to experience first-person action on Wii. Of course, for those looking for a more casual experience, arcade mode is there, as is the “easy mode only” lock-on cursor control for quick targeting. We could go on for pages about the ups and downs of Heroes 2, but it isn’t necessary. What it comes down to is this: Great Wii games require a ton of passion and effort on the part of the developers. Rather than shoving something simple and thrown together onto a successful console, teams need to step up and put in the extra effort and fine-tuning that it takes to make something that really works on Wii. EA and Team Fusion were willing to go the extra mile on Nintendo’s console, and the end result is the best controlling shooter on the system, Prime 3 included. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 sets the bar for control, customization, and pure FPS gameplay on Wii - designers take note.

Once you’ve circled your last letter you’ll probably realize what we’ve been thinking all along, that Word Puzzle is a game that’s probably better left to pen and paper. The game offers solid variety and decent puzzle design, but at the end of the day you’re still doing with a controller that which is much easier and just as rewarding with a pencil. Word of advice, if you’ve solved every other puzzle book at your local Barnes & Noble and have no other brain stimulation for a month and a half, spend your 800 Microsoft Points here. If none of that applies to you then look elsewhere.

At the end of the day, if you enjoy touring car racing but have found the Codemasters TOCA series to be too cheesy and arcade-like for your tastes, Race 07 is worth your investment. It is what touring car racing is all about, right down to the weight-penalties given to the winning cars. Online play will help you find others to race with, and all the tweaking, tuning and customization options are there for you. In addition, expect to see other tracks, cars and skins put into the game by modders who have done this for each game SimBin has put out. The game will pay for itself many times over for the hardcore sim fan who treats these games as an investment in a sim racing career. But a title like this is not as likely to win over a casual racer, because little was done to cultivate new hardcore sim racing fans here.
