Among Hudson Entertainment's titles being presented at last week's Gamers' Day, the company's WiiWare contingent was out in force, showing off toilet repair crews and exploding aliens who lived in pinball machines.

Of all the games on display, nearly all of them were for the Wii, and as our discussion with Hudson's Mike Pepe demonstrated, the "casual" and "family-friendly" flags were flying high.

World of Goo is a strange animal: An innovative, two-dimensional, physics-based puzzler, possessed by both adorable, cute graphics, and delightfully macabre writing and themes. World of Goo isn't the kind of game that specifically needs to be on WiiWare, but the Wii is certainly a good platform for it -- while there may be no [...]

We previewed Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars about a month ago, and we rather enjoyed our time with the game. Psyonix Studios' first independently published, PlayStation Network-exclusive, UE3 and PhysX-powered game has a title with far too many syllables and words, but it's also extremely descriptive. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars (henceforth "SARPBC") is a [...]
