Being a pirate should be more fun that this.
Sid Meier's Pirates! for Wii is a port of a remake released last generation for Xbox and the PC. Being based on the Commodore 64 title of the same name, it's no surprise that the game is somewhat limited in its design. The port adds several mini-games along with motion-based controls and pointing, which leverage the unique strengths of the Wii platform. Despite the new additions, at its core, Pirates is no more than a collection of mini-games tied together by a rough, open-ended story.

Have you ever wanted to hack and slash apart hundreds of enemies all at once? How about alongside a friend? That's exactly what Koei-Tecmo offers up to players in their latest Warriors title, Samurai Warriors 3. Though this particular entry doesn't provide a drastically different experience than what has been made available in the past, players will have a strong set of objectives throughout each of the levels to make for a more directed and smooth flowing experience.
Impressive controls can't save this flight title from tedium.
Ace Combat Joint Assault is the second title in the series to see release on the PlayStation Portable. While the first title brought the popular series to the handheld, this second iteration adds in the ability to play with up-to-three other friends locally or with other random pilots via the Internet. The general gameplay has remained consistent, so players can expect the typical Ace Combat gameplay, which is strongly focused on dogfighting and ground target destruction.
It's a blast from the past, until you forget to save your game.
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter hearkens back to the first person shooters of yesteryear. There's no real attempt at story, objectives aren't included, and players need only focus on killing everything in sight and moving on to the next room to do it again. Of course, the title is a remake of the 2002 game with the same name, this time with upgraded visuals and an additional mode, Co-Op Tournament. While many staples of modern day shooter design aren't present here, that doesn't mean it isn't an enjoyable romp.
Capcom shows off using the drawing mechanic to attack and solve puzzles in the upcoming sequel to the critically acclaimed Wii/PS2 title.
