Great Sources for Nintendo Wii Reviews
By Tony Cunningham

If you're looking to purchase games for your Nintendo Wii, or even if you're still trying to decide if you want to buy a Wii at all, you will want to be a smart shopper. Knowing the pros and cons of the video game systems and games you purchase helps you from spending your hard-earned cash on an awful game.

While the newspaper is a great source of movie and television reviews, it's not the best source for Nintendo Wii reviews. For a more in-depth analysis of what's hot and what's not, you need to turn online for your Nintendo Wii reviews. There are several sources you can look to in order to get the latest on upcoming games.

Game News Websites

Sites like IGN and Gamespot are dedicated to gaming news, so they're a great spot to turn to for the latest Nintendo Wii reviews and previews. You'll find detailed articles about the newest games coming out, usually packed with actual screenshots from the game, so you can see what it looks like, and occasionally even video of the way the game plays.

For a complete multimedia experience when you're looking for Nintendo Wii reviews, these sites are the place to look. The drawback here is, as with video game magazines, you're not likely to find any demanding reviewers here; these sites will hesitate to give many games a truly awful score in their Nintendo Wii reviews.

Comic Sites

Web comics such as Penny Arcade are also good sources for Nintendo Wii reviews. The creators of many comic sites have a blog as well as a comic, and they use both as a soapbox to discuss their opinion on many games. Penny Arcade in particular holds an influence over gamers, using its sway to launch a successful video game convention as well as a charity that donates money and toys to hospitals worldwide each Christmas. If you look on sites such as these, you'll find Nintendo Wii reviews that often hold strong, unvarnished opinions. The downside to these sites is that there's no set schedule for such reviews. If the creators feel like talking about a game, they will, and if they don't, you're out of luck.

Web Forums

Another place to find Nintendo Wii reviews that are blunt is through web forums. Many sites, even news websites and web comic sites, offer forums where gamers can congregate and discuss video games as a whole. By following one or two of these forums, you'll come across plenty of opinions on various games. And even if you don't find information on a game you like, you can post a request for an opinion, and chances are, someone will give you a simple review, even if it's just to say that they liked or didn't like the game.

The drawback here is that some gamers will be fanatics of their favorite games, no matter how awful, and some people just don't seem to like anything. It might be hard to get a detailed review here if that's what you're craving, though. But like the other sources, it's a simple source of Nintendo Wii reviews that you can access while sitting at your computer.
