Anyone who has been stuck in a boring situation with a laptop to hand can relate to how wonderful video game pinball can be.  Low tech it may seem, but that along with Solitaire has saved many a train journey from turning into a nightmare.  So, Pinball games should be greeted with respect.  There's one heading towards the Wii at the moment; Southpeak Games are toting Dream Pinball 3D as 'the most intense visuals and ball physics a pinball game has ever seen.'  No easy claim, since Pinball video games have been around about as long as video games themselves.  Wii screenshots below - gobble 'em!

 

"Everyone loves pinball. It is an unusual kind of entertainment in that it bridges hardcore and casual gamers, while translating very well to videogames,"

said Melanie Mroz, SouthPeak Games. "We are going to give the medium the respect it deserves." (cont)

Oxygen announed today that PDC World Championship Darts 2008 will be in store for January 25th 2008 (PS2, PC), with the Wii version (that has already gone gold) following in mid February 2008.  Perhaps you've never bought a darts game before and might be thinking that it's something for lager drinking men down the local tavern?  If that's you, then don't worry. Oxygen have helpfully released a PC demo version of the game for you to give a once over, helping you decide if you're interested in a darts game on your Wii, or not.
