...Mario Super Sluggers (MSS) is an arcade-style game similar to the previous entries in the Mario sports series. Gamers looking for a deep simulation-influenced baseball game should keep on looking. Gamers looking for a revolutionary, over-the-top baseball game that is brimming with tons of innovative and unique idea need to keep on looking as well. But if want a baseball title to sit back and play with your friends that is still loads of fun then MSS should fit the bill nicely. Remember not every game has to be a blockbuster for you to still have fun...
...Mario Super Slugger really is a game that will probably find more people playing the Exhibition mode simply because that is the true baseball portion of the game. The Mario theme of the game, special Star hits/pitches and Error Items do make for a fun filled baseball experience. The simplified controls should allow for almost anyone young or old to get into the game as well. Yet the main part of the game, the challenge mode, does feel rather flat simply because it feels like an overblown training...

www.ugo.comBeijing 2008 - Olympic Games Review Online Games, August 4, 2008Beijing 2008 is as much a mini-game collection as Mario Party. Any of the dozens of events may test your skills as a button-masher, Simon Says expert, or rolling motion professional. It may sound or look like a game that was made for the everyman but was really made for one man (or woman): the kind that doesn't mind a little excruciating nonsense.
Take running and swimming, for example. As expected, you'll have to jam on the A and B buttons (alternately) to make your athlete run. When swimming, you can jam on various buttons and exhaust your thumbs or fingers to no end, or spin both analog sticks toward or away from each other. That sums up your entire racing experience, minus the shoulder buttons which must be tapped to turn while swimming and must be held to start the race.
Chances are you have played a game like this before. The button-altering gameplay became a frequently copied commodity after Sega's Olympic titles popularized it in the 90s. If it was fun the last time you experienced it, you are probably looking forward to having it here. But there are a couple of problems to consider before diving into the pool.

www.gamezone.comCastle Crashers Arcade Preview Online Games, April 23, 2007Castle Crashers is, by far, the most anticipated Xbox Live Arcade game of the year. It won the Audience Award at this year's Independent Games Festival, it features the work of the guys behind some classic flash games, and it combines the fun of Golden Axe with the graphics of Alien Hominid. Really, what more could you ask for? ...
...While this is all awesome news for fans of the genre, the real draw of Castle Crashers is undoubtedly the art style, which is entirely hand-drawn and smooth as silk. Fans of Alien Hominid (especially on Xbox Live Arcade) will definitely find themselves in familiar territory here, with outlandish violence and bright colors taking up the majority of the palate in CC...
