Spiderman 3
Based on the upcoming feature film, Spider-Man™ 3 allows players to experience the actions of heroic red-suited Spider-Man and, for the first time ever, his darker, more mysterious black-suited persona. Set in a larger, dynamic, free-roaming New York City, the game gives players the freedom to choose their own gameplay experience through multiple movie-based and original storylines, fully integrated city missions and performance rewards including improved speed, combat maneuvers and agility. In Spider-Man 3, players draw upon Spider-Man's completely revamped combat abilities as they protect the city and defeat nemeses using expanded aerial fighting, finishing moves and dynamic webbing during missions and epic boss battles. Features
Welcome to the dark side: For the first time ever, control the legendary black suit, which magnifies Spider-Man's strength, agility and durability. Punish your enemies with explosive new attacks and incredible upgrades, including fearsome room-clearers. All this power comes with a price, though, as players will find the black suit harder and harder to control. Will you be strong enough to make a heroic choice before your quest for vengeance turns the city against you?
Let freedom ring: Go anywhere at any time in a larger, dynamic, free-roaming New York City and get involved in whatever you want, whenever you want. Players decide how to proceed through the game and set their own goals. Should Spider-Man follow a plot twist, switch to an alternate storyline, fight off crime waves that threaten the city or explore vast interior and underground locations? You decide.
The city is your playground: From towering skyscrapers to the vast new subterranean sewers and subways Spider-Man must patrol all of New York. Three criminal gangs and variety of Super Villains will be competing for your attention, taking hostages, stealing cars, harassing citizens, and creating havoc. Will you be able to save everyone?
Super Villains galore: Experience multi-stage, dynamic boss battles against the headlining villains from the movie as well as a host of legendary comic book foes who all take advantage of their environments, their minions, and the large-scale destruction that their superpowers cause in trying to defeat Spider-Man.
Go, go gadget: In addition to faster web-swinging, certain events and environments open up additional Spider-powers for you to control. Using Spider-Man's web abilities, he can catch falling objects including people and debris, fix hazards like broken train rails, barricade doors, and even slingshot from the tops of buildings for increased speed and huge air.

Sonic and the Secret Rings
Sonic brings his trademark speed and attitude to the Wii in his first solo adventure since 1991, and it's a real trailblazer. Features
Fast, frenetic gameplay with Sonic in constant motion
Exotic settings and creatures inspired by the Arabian Nights tales
Branching paths for extensive gameplay variety and replayability
A variety of party games for up to four players Sonic finds himself in the colorful and vibrant world of the Arabian Nights. There he embarks on his most outrageous journey to date through an expansive 3D world brought to life with realistic water reflections, light bloom and lifelike physics. The most engaging thing about Sonic and the Secret Rings is that it's fun. Sonic Team created a game that is not only fun for all ages, they've added depth to both appease the beginner and challenge the hardcore gamers. On the simple sideFor those looking for the simple slice of Sonic life, they need to know only three game functions: jump, attack and lateral movement. Players hold the Wii Remote on its side like it's the center column of a steering wheel. Tilting the remote left or right makes Sonic move to the left or right. Because Sonic is always moving forward, you need to only focus on moving left or right to avoid obstacles or collect rings. Sonic jumps when you press the 2 Button, and he attacks enemies if you flick the remote forward once he's in the air. That's really all you need to know to enjoy this game. Sonic's surroundings, inspired by ancient Persia and the Arabian Nights, add a beautiful artistic element that will often times pull your attention away from the action and into the background. The lush environments might distract you, but they don't detract from the sense of speed. Sonic runs with silky-smooth grace that is only slowed by either the user's desire or error. For the hardcoreSonic and the Secret Rings sounds simple, doesn't it? It's not-- by a longshot. Sonic challenges gamers to a new platforming experience that's difficult to master. Although it doesn't take that much effort to complete a mission, it takes a ton of skill to secure the three Fire Souls found within the missions and to notch a gold-medal performance. In RPG fashion, Sonic gets stronger, faster and more agile as you progress through the game. As he learns new skills through gameplay, you can equip those skills on a special ring. While wearing this ring, Sonic uses a number of those acquired skills during a level in an effort to earn the gold medal. For those ready to fall back in love with Sonic, or for those who need a lot of depth in a game before they buy it, it's hard to argue against the replayability of Sonic and the Secret Rings. Missing a key jump is frustrating; making it is utterly satisfying. Missing a Fire Soul or falling short of the gold makes you want to try harder to nail it. And now, we partyWhat would Sonic be without his friends? Although you can't play as any of Sonic's compadres in the main adventure, they're waiting on the deck of the party boat. In X Adventure World, you and three friends (or computer opponents) will do battle in a number of minigames. You'll find several competitive minigame events. Genie's Lair, for example, lets the winners of the minigames pick from treasure chests, some of which are booby trapped. The one with the most treasure wins. Pirates Coast puts you and your friends on rival rafts. Minigame winners advance farther toward the goal. The minigames themselves are OK, and your enjoyment of this mode will depend on your affinity for party games. If you're not a party-game fan, this collection won't do anything to bring you over to the dark side. If you're a fan, this multiplayer mode is a nice bonus, otherwise you'll feel like this is tacked on just so Tails and Knuckles would have something to do. The Secret's OutWii has its first great platformer. Once you get past the tutorials and into the meat of the game, it's easy to see Sonic's at home with his return to his roots. Then, once you unlock such screen-blurring abilities as Sonic's Speed Break, you'll see this is more than a return to form for the Hedgehog—it's an exhilarating attack on your senses. Bottom LineDon't expect the story or dialogue to enthrall you; besides, Sonic's all about speed. This game has tons of it and would make an excellent addition to your Wii library.
