MadWorld is the most violent game on the Nintendo Wii and it delivers its gratuitous brand of carnage in stark black and white with Greg Proops screaming filthy nonsense over the top of it all. It's unlike anything else on the console.

My copy of MadWorld spent most of the late ’00s sitting untouched on my shelf, gathering dust while I was probably making another run through Virtua Tennis 2009. I remember being impressed by the incredible box art. What I don’t remember is ever actually playing it which feels kinda ridiculous in hindsight, because MadWorld actually has one hell of a claim to fame: it’s the most violent game to…

Call of Duty on the Nintendo Wii sounds kinda ridiculous until you actually play it. Revisiting Black Ops and the wider Wii releases in 2026 revealed nothing but surprisingly solid ports, enjoyable motion controls and a side of the franchise that deserved far more attention.

Call of Duty on a Nintendo console? Am I taking crazy pills? I assure you: absolutely not. The Nintendo Wii actually saw a surprising run of Call of Duty releases during its time as a current-gen console including Call of Duty 3, World at War, Modern Warfare Reflex Edition, Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3. Where is Modern Warfare 2? Good question. I’ve had a bit of a run at each of the Wii releases…

The Force Unleashed provides a genuinely compelling Star Wars story wrapped in solid combat with Wii motion controls that make you feel like the most powerful Force user in the galaxy.

Happy belated May the 4th for those that celebrate! I started The Force Unleashed on May the 4th for that very reason, it felt appropriate… even if nobody asked. All those years ago, I owned The Force Unleashed and I vividly remember starting it up, but my memory becomes a complete fog somewhere after the initial splash screen. That’s not really uncommon for me in that particular era of gaming…

The House of the Dead: Overkill is loud, trashy and completely self-aware. It fully embraces its grindhouse roots. It's short, dumb and endlessly replayable, delivering a chaotic arcade experience that proves sometimes the simplest games are the most fun.

We’re kicking off Wii’re Going Back with a game I nearly pre-ordered: The House of the Dead: Overkill. The collectors edition aptly named the ‘Bang Bang Box’ came with 2 white AMS revolver attachments for the Wii remotes to simulate that original arcade feeling and I just had to have them. I managed to pick it up at my local EB Games by walking in on the right day. I really wanted to re-buy one of…

Kicking off Wii’re Going Back, this guide will walk you through everything you’ll need to make your Steam Deck, or other PC handheld, work like a Nintendo Wii complete with motion controls. I’ll be upfront: if you don’t own any Nintendo Wii hardware already, this isn’t going to be the cheapest journey. On the plus side, Wii hardware isn’t insanely expensive and due to its popularity…

The Nintendo Wii launched nearly 20 years ago and we haven't seen a console like it since. This May, Wii're going back and we're doing it with the Steam Deck.

This May, Wii’re Going Back, and we’re doing it with the Steam Deck. It’s been nearly 20 years since the release of the Nintendo Wii and honestly, we haven’t seen anything like it since. It’s a legitimate shame. People like to write off the motion controls as a gimmick, but at the time they were genuinely magical. The satisfaction of bowling a strike while everyone else was still trying to…

After many failed attempts at Bioshock, a friend's recommendation landed me in Dunwall and I'm legitimately furious it took me this long. Dishonored is a masterclass in player freedom. Yeah, this one is a deadset banger.

I’m not sure I would have landed on Dishonored by myself. After the disappointment of TMNT: Splintered Fate, I found myself in a bit of a gaming funk. I cycled through a few games, making a start but never feeling compelled to push on. In what felt like a small moment of personal growth, I finally pushed further into Bioshock than I ever have before. The problem is: Bioshock stinks.
Fallout 1.5: Resurrection is a fan-made total conversion mod for Fallout 2 set in post-apocalyptic New Mexico. If you've been looking to get it running on your Steam Deck, here's a step-by-step guide to do exactly that.

Another day, another classic Fallout mod for the Steam Deck. This one is entirely the internet’s fault. I did a run through Fallout 1.5: Resurrection a while back and I genuinely had a great time with it. I then promptly filed it away in ‘completed, would recommend‘ to then immediately forget about it, as is tradition. Then I stumbled across a Reddit post from someone having trouble getting it to…
Nine games down. This quarter had Steam sale gambles, nostalgia deep-dives, nowhere near enough hours of Fallout and one unexpected standout. Q1 was a mixed bag, but still a great time. Read on for the full wrap-up.

Another quarter down. Seriously, where does the time go? GIVE IT BACK. Yet again, I spent the quarter glued to my Steam Deck OLED. You may notice, if you’ve followed my other quarterly wrap-ups, that I’ve dropped the RG CubeXX from the title. It’s not that I don’t like the CubeXX; cubes are still cool, but I didn’t finish a single game on it this quarter. I did knock through a couple of games of…
Looking to pick up a Dbrand Killswitch skin but not entirely convinced it'll work with your JSAUX ModCase? Well, I can confirm they work together extremely well. I also picked up their Stick Caps while I was at it and both have been a great experience.

When it comes to Steam Deck accessories, I’m clearly a JSAUX guy. If my previous gear posts are anything to go by. I think I’ve been pretty upfront about it, but the JSAUX ModCase wasn’t my first choice. I wanted the Dbrand Killswitch case but I could never justify the cost after currency conversion and shipping to Australia. Well, I finally compromised with myself and picked up a Dbrand…
