Abstract: Mario on the Wii isnt all it should be: For a machine built with one eye very much on social gaming and the gathering together of lots of people to make fools of themselves, the Nintendo Wii should surely be the most comfortable home ever ...

Abstract: Feb. 24, 2007 - Let the party start! Mario Party 8 finally arrived, and it's been a long, long wait! Well, it wasn't that long, but long enough for some of us who put away the GameCube after making the Wii part of our home. When people thought of the Wii...
Mario Party is a utility more than a game. You will probably never play it at all by yourself. You won’t admit to owning it to your guy buddies, but it looms on your shelf, behind your Call of Dutys and Gears of Wars, for those nights when you have th...
Abstract: “Mario, Mario! Wherefore art thou Mario?” “He’s climbing a tree!” “A tree? Is there a star at the top?” “Well actually, yes. But this isn’t his typical adventure. He’s not fighting Bowser and his...

Abstract: The Nintendo 64 was definitely a fun system. Sure, the games were expensive due to the antiquated cartridge system (60-70 bucks as opposed to 40-50 for similar PS1 titles), but the system featured all the characters we have grown up with and love to t...
Is there a place for a game like Mario Party 8 on the Nintendo Wii? After all, this is a platform already inundated with party games. Why do you need another Mario Party when you can swing for the fences or hit the lanes on Wii Sports, arguably the mos...
Minigames make great use of the Wii Remote; a blast to play with 3 other friends; creative and nice looking game boards with unique ways to get stars on each one.
Many minigames feel like rehashes of old Mario Party minigames with Wii controls tacked on; no online support; while the graphics are improved over MP7, MP8 still looks like an average GameCube game; lame single player mode that you’re forced to pla...
Bottom line is that if you love Mario Party, you’ll still love Mario Party 8. If you don’t love the Mario Party games, this one isn’t going to do anything that will change your mind, even with the Wii controls. Personally, I love Mario P...
