IncGamers' Tamer Asfahani takes a look at the first Virtua Tennis game on the Wii.
"Virtua Tennis 09 for the Wii has no such failings, and although it doesn't boast the official grand slams, it has all the different surface types you'd expect to see in a tennis game. The Virtua Tennis philosophy has translated well on to the Wii, it's almost the most suitable platform for this game; a platform on which firing tennis balls at crocs and sinking pirate ships doesn't seem to be so out of place."
This feature aims to aid you when watching Wimbledon this year, because with so many matches going on in the next fortnight it's sometimes hard to know which ones to watch.
With this in mind it looks to recommend specific players to watch if you're a fan of a certain gaming series or title. So without further ado, let it serve you up some suggestions…
Call of Duty? Nah, let's take a break and get some of these games on.
Why does nothing from this generation multiplayer wise really feel like it will be truly missed? Over sequelization and feautre creep. The cost of high production values.
The majority of my favorite multiplayer games are on the N64. That console was built with multiplayer as the focus, with 4 ports for controllers.
Here are some old MP games I enjoyed playing alongside mates:
• 007 NIGHTFIRE - a classic! This game had fantastic MP, I would love a HD remake.
• CONFLICT: Global Storm - acting like a fireteam with my friend where one person takes a buddy and the other does that too before departing down a different path was great fun! I personally loved the desert level with the Jeep.
• MOH (PS1) - OOoh yes, this game had funny personas and great gameplay; in my books, another worthy classic.
Still play mario kart and smash bros with some buddies from time to time, the n64 was the best system ever for local mp imo.

One of my local coffee shops has decided to slash the price of their coffee to ten pence at ten o’clock in the morning since this Sunday nicely coincides with their tenth birthday. Unfortunately, gamers don’t really have anything to celebrate today, nor does any form of commemoration seem to be incoming from any developers or publishers. In response to this injustice, we’ve compiled a list of ten gaming “tens”, most of which rely on bad puns and stale jokes. Enjoy!"
Good score but not my thing, the Wii tennis stuff is so hit and miss in my opinion.
Good addition to the Wii line-up. Can't decide on this or Grand Slam though.
If the controls work, the that might be enough to revitalise the series sufficiently for me to purchase it, even if everything else is just like the other games. And it seems the controls do, indeed, work...
if i can afford the motion plus then might pick this up at a later stage but got other titles to be purchasing before
Federer isn't even on the cover! Shame he fell from fame in just one year!
