Tournament of Legends [Review]

Overall Feeling: 
Tournament of Legends is a competent fighting game that keeps things simple and doesn’t try to copy the big Japanese fighting franchises. The combat is often heavy on the button, or rather waggle, smashing but despite its simplicity the core combat is still enjoyable. It would’ve been nice if the game had more content but Tournament of Legends is still worth trying out for those Wii owners hungry for a new fighting game.
The Pros: 
The art style puts a nice spin on some classic Greek mythology creatures. Using the Wiimote to fight is simple and most of the time feels responsive. While not entirely deep, the combat is fun and some of the special moves for the characters are rather cool.
The Cons: 
Character movement feels a bit slow at times. Outside of the story mode there aren’t any additional modes and multiplayer fighting is limited to local 1vs1 combat. The combat does get a bit old after awhile since the combat moves list isn’t robust. Some of the QTE motion segments don't feel responsive.

Fighting games on the Wii are a bit of a rare breed.  And by fighting games I mean proper 1v1 fighting games and not party game centric ones where it’s simply a mad dash race to see who the faster button masher is.  The Wii has had a few notable releases such as Soul Calibur and the terrific Tatsunoko vs.

Fighting game+Greek mythology+Wii may equal something that most gamers would want to pass up.  After all the Wii isn’t exactly the place to go when one desires fighting games nor is it necessarily known for being the home of epic games featuring Greek mythology.  Well if you are a Wii owner who loves fighting games and anything that a gorgon or Minotaur in it then you may want to take a look at Tournament of Legends.

Earlier this year Sega unveiled the revamped version of Tournament of Legends, a Greek mythology based fighting game.  With things like Centaurs, magic attacks, massive weapons and a colorful art style the game seems to have a lot going for it.

Now Sega has released a new trailer for the game focusing on two of the game’s combatants.  Watching the trailer you’ll learn some info on Marcus Antonius and BraveHoof (he’s a Minotaur, hence the name).

Did you like The Conduit? Well it's getting bigger and crazier sequel.

The recent issue of Nintendo Power magazine has the world exclusive first look at The Conduit 2.  I guess this is surprising news since first Conduit didn’t exactly set the gaming world afire with amazing sales and reviews.

In case you didn’t play the first Conduit (I’m one of those people), the game is a sci-fi fps game that surprisingly isn’t on-rails.  Released to a decent amount of hype last June, The Conduit featured some neat ideals that were wrapped in a package which was generally summed up as being a bit generic.

With the PS3 now supporting motion control with the PlayStation Move and essentially becoming as some like to call it “Wii HD”, we shouldn’t be too surprised if certain Wii games are ported up to the PS3.  In fact even it was a mere month ago when developer High Voltage Software announced they would be taking their supernatural themed fps game The Grinder to the PS3/360.

Gladiator A.D., is a gory gladiatorial fighting game described by designer David Pellas as "a hybrid between 3D Fighting games like Bushido Blade and Boxing games like Fight Night."

Players will do battle in an arena setting against one or multiple combatants, depending on the mode of play. You will also be able to choose from different gladiators who wield various types of weaponry.

ShogunGamer Says: ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME!!!

However, before you get excited (like I did) for the gameplay we all have wanted since day one of the Wii's launch, read on.
