If you're tired of that Wii Sports package that came with your console, you've got plenty to look forward to this year. Into movie-themed games like 'Indiana Jones'? You've got 'em. Want more sports to try? Look no further. A slew of fun games made just for Nintendo's Wii is coming at you in the upcoming months, and GameDaily has a sneak peek of all the action.


Mother's Day is almost here. Instead of giving the same bouquet of flowers or a handmade card, give her a gift that keeps on giving -- video games! With the widespread popularity of the Nintendo Wii, it's not as crazy as it sounds.

GameDaily lists the top seven Wii games your non-gaming mom will actually want to play (and a few for the Nintendo DS and PC, too). Not to mention -- you get to play them too.

Six Nickelodeon branded games will be hitting the shelves this year, including the very first Naked Brothers Band game. It will be available for PS2, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS.

The music-themed game lets players become part of the band, touring, singing, controlling stage lighting and more. It will feature 25 of the Naked Brothers' greatest hits.

You loved the comic and the film, but can 'Iron Man' the video game stand alone as a form of entertainment? The folks at GameDaily don't think so. The gaming experts reviewed the Sega product that puts you in the metal suit to fight off bad guys using lasers and more. Read GameDaily's 'Iron Man' rundown and check out the trailer for the game below before spending your hard earned cash.



We're going to be seeing a lot of action-packed summer blockbuster movies this year, but in addition to having fun in the theater, you'll get to bring the excitement home, right into your living room. Big films like 'Speed Racer,' 'Iron Man' and 'The Incredible Hulk' are coming to you in video game form so you can fight off bad dudes just like your favorite heroes.

Take a look at all the movies-turned-games, what formats they come in and when they hit the shelves in this GameDaily roundup.

It was all fun and games this Saturday in New York's Rockefeller Center when Chace Crawford stopped by Nintendo's launch party for Mario Kart Wii. The 'Gossip Girl' star showed up in casual gear to greet fans and play the new game, which puts players in the driver's seat using a wireless steering wheel. GameDaily has the full scoop on the event, including more photos of our man Chace.


EA Sports is taking itself a little less seriously with FaceBreaker, a new cartoony boxing game featuring big personalities and big blows. Check out this new video, which introduces us to Romeo, a Latin-lover type whose pelvic thrusts give Elvis a run for his money.

Legendary quarterback Brett Favre may have hung up his jersey, but he will live forever on the cover of EA Sports' Madden 09. If you're a Green Bay Packers fan, you'll have yet another reason to pick up the new version of the popular video game.

"Brett Favre is a perfect fit for the Madden NFL 09 cover, as he epitomizes everything the franchise has stood for the past 20 years - longevity, excellence, and a love of football," said Madden NFL Executive Producer Dale Jackson. Gamers, get psyched -- Madden 09 will be in stores this summer on August 12.



Nintendo has it's fair share of groupies, but have you gone a little too far with your love of the brand? If you think you (or one of your friends) may be a fanboy, check yourself before you wreck yourself with this funny GameDaily feature. They've shelled out a list of signs that may mean you're way too geeked out on all things Nintendo.


Nintendo is putting you in the driver's seat with Mario Kart for Wii. Each game comes with its own steering wheel for you to get into the action, bringing this classic game to life. Check out this exclusive commercial for the latest in the Mario series and psych yourself up for a new level of play.


It seems there are a thousand and one new things competing for our attention every day. Take a break and kick back with Solitaire TriPeaks. Win stars and cool-looking stamps for great play. You might just find Solitaire TriPeaks is worth your attention.

You know you've played it with some other clowns, or with your folks or your grandma. This week, Games.com finally launched one of its most anticipated games, Hearts! It's really a great game! Play against the computer or with friends.

Are you over Wii Baseball and want a little more action in your gaming life? Enter Nintendo's newest sports game, Mario Super Sluggers. While Nintendo hasn't released many details about 'Sluggers,' GameDaily got an inside scoop on what's in store. There will be better graphics, more players to choose from and, of course, way more excitement. Get all the info in this investigative report.




Thanks to the brainiacs at NYKO, you can now enjoy your Nintendo Wii with cordless remotes. At only $20 a pop, the NYKO Cord-Free converts your awkward corded nunchucks into free-form heaven. The battery-operated control gives you up to 60 hours of play time and can be used up to 15 feet away. Setup is a cinch, too! Just ask the folks at GameDaily, who tested the converter and gave it a big thumbs up in this review.



OK, so the graphics are pretty one-dimensional, but that doesn't mean these old-school Nintendo Entertainment System games don't rock. Games like Duck Tales, Tetris and Castlevania got everyone hooked in the first place, and now it's time to pay respect to the best of the OGs. Here, GameDaily breaks down the top 25 NES games of all time, complete with pixelated images and all.
