New to the game are characters that respond differently according to how you approach them. Also included are psychological twists on the original plot; a mobile phone that functions as a GPS device and connects you with characters you've encountered; and a new soundtrack by composer Akira Yamaoka.

Capcom empties its vault for the second time in this updated Wii version of the 2002 GameCube title Resident Evil 0, which was set before the events in the original Resident Evil. Instead of playing as two separate characters in slightly divergent storylines, players now control two characters at once, switching between them at will to solve puzzles and to fight enemies. The female protagonist is Rebecca Chambers, member of the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team that would later be sent to Raccoon City to investigate a mysterious disappearance. Former Navy SEAL Billy Coen, a convicted murderer awaiting his sentence, joins her on a train to S.T.A.R.S. headquarters, but things take a turn for the worse when the train is suddenly attacked by zombies.

Players can examine their surroundings, use tools, pick up and combine items to solve puzzles, and fire weapons to stave off the advancing monsters and beasts. The partner system has players controlling one primary character and the computer controlling the other, or guiding both at the same time by simultaneously using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Computer-controlled characters can be given the command to attack or to remain idle, conserving bullets when necessary. Acquired items can be swapped between characters when they are together in the same room, and partners can also split off to investigate certain situations alone, keeping the other informed using walkie-talkies. ~ All Game Guide

Set on the fantastical sci-fi planet of Pandora, James Cameron's Avatar: The Game is a third-person adventure with RPG-style character development, featuring predominant shooting and melee combat action. The game's story poses challenges to the player's moral perspectives, as well. A prequel to the movie, set two years earlier, Avatar: The Game follows its own original storyline. Humans have come to the planet to harvest valuable minerals. They find themselves at war with the dominant native species, the Na'vi, a humanoid race of great size and strength but only stone age technological development. The futuristic humans have developed a method by which they can remotely take control of a mindless, genetically engineered Na'vi body, and experience existence through this avatar.

Players take the role of a character named Able Ryder, who is a signals specialist soldier with the human Resource Development Agency, or "RDA." From mission to mission, the game moves from Ryder's experiences as a human soldier, and those in the role of a Na'vi avatar. Players can chose their character's gender and customize appearance, and add skills and abilities as they gain experience and power by progressing through the adventure. They will eventually face a crucial choice, similar to that of Jake Sully in the film: To remain loyal to the RDA, and lead the human forces to claim control of the planet, or to assume the identity of their avatar and side with the Na'vi, leading the native people to expel the invading humans from their sacred grounds.

As a human soldier, the game plays like a 3D third-person shooter. Players have access to high-tech weapons and equipment to help them survive in the brutal environments of Pandora, where hungry, dinosaur-sized creatures hunt and lurk all throughout the surreal wilderness. Humans can also use vehicles, including large, heavily armed, walking mech suits that are more than a match to the sheer physical strength of the towering natives. In the role of Ryder's ten-foot tall Na'vi avatar, players excel in melee combat, swinging a mighty battle staff, and gain expertise with a (truly) long bow as well. Na'vi also have all the advantages of a native people, and even the indigenous creatures may come to their aid, if properly coaxed.

As in special theater screenings of the film, Avatar: The Game can be played with stereoscopic three-dimensional display, using televisions and polarized viewing glasses that support the contemporarily cutting-edge technology. In the standard visual mode, the game runs on any TV that works with the console. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

Building off the quarter-sized portion of yoga offered in Nintendo's popular Wii Fit, DreamCatcher offers a full course of relaxing exercises in the simply titled Yoga. Endorsed by supermodel Anja Rubik, and optimized for use with the Wii Balance Board, Yoga lets players engage in specially targeted training schedules as well as custom routines, while tips and instant feedback provide real-time performance updates. There are four levels in all, each offering a variety of different poses, and those wanting to learn more about the ancient discipline can take a leisurely stroll around the yoga temple. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

Based on former U.S. Navy SEAL Dick Marcinko's book series, Rogue Warrior is a first-person shooter with an emphasis on tactical warfare and real-world combat scenarios. Players take control of Marcinko himself in a series of covert missions set behind enemy lines in North Korea. The object is to lead a SEAL team safely across North Korea's shipyards, prison camps, submarine pens, and other locales to return back to South Korea. Designed using Unreal 3 technology, Rogue Warrior offers multiple ways to complete objectives by featuring wide-open environments and dynamically changing events. Ten multiplayer modes are included with a choice of more than 200 day and night maps, while the main campaign can be completed alone or cooperatively with a group of up to four players. The latter option lets friends drop out or join in at any time without requiring the rest of the group to pause the game or to save progress. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

A key feature introduced in the Reflex edition of Rainbow Studios' off-road series is independent control of the rider from the ride. The game's trick system allows players to make their character perform free form switches, extensions, and more, while the vehicle continues along its own trajectory. Under the new system, players can also control their riders to shift weight and momentum and pull their bike or four-wheeler back from the brink of a big spill, staying on track and out of the ditch. The control system is designed for intuitive movements, with high-flying hilltop stunts and balanced acceleration through corners and in valleys. The game's terrain effects allow the track to change during the race, as riders knock the dirt around, or even dig out a new path through the malleable earth. The vehicles themselves are deformable as well, with real-time damage in competitive events. Races are set in a variety of international locations, including tracks in the U.S. and Europe. The revamped game engine emphasizes the traction and handling on different surfaces such as mud, packed dirt, and snow. A variety of vehicles is available, including event-specific MX motorcycles, ATV four-wheelers, super-buggies, and specialized off-road racing trucks. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

One of the biggest names in ice cream comes to the world of Diner Dash-style "time management" games as players serve cones and sundaes to customers around the world in Cold Stone Creamery: Scoop It Up. In the single-player campaign, gamers unlock 25 ice cream flavors and a variety of toppings as they dish out different combinations to an endless stream of customers in five countries around the world. Those looking for more action can compete in solo or multiplayer mini-games that turn the Wii Remote into an ice-cream scoop. ~ All Game Guide

Scene It? Twilight is a game show-styled trivia contest for Wii, featuring more than 500 questions taken from the vampire romantic fantasy film by Catherine Hardwicke, based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer. Players compete to provide the most correct answers to a series of questions, which may be based on video clips or stills taken directly from the feature film. After watching a sequence from the film, players may need to choose the next line spoken, for example, or recognize the events taking place by quickly studying a freeze-frame of the action. As in earlier Scene It? games, designed for use on standard DVD players as well as on home computers and consoles, the controls are extremely simple; the challenge is in recognizing the scenes and remembering the characters or events hinted in the question. Created especially for play on Wii, Scene It? Twilight has players using the Wii Remote to buzz in and select their answers from multiple choices. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
