Adding to the seemingly never-ending stream of self-improvement titles flooding Wii game shelves is My Word Coach, an Ubisoft Montreal-developed game the subject of which is one of humankind's greatest achievements: The written word. And while it may...

My Word Coach Wii Review

A fully priced port of an enjoyable handheld learning game.

The biggest problem here is that this is a port from a Nintendo DS game that is nearly half the price, and the only addition is a few multiplayer modes. Add on the fact that using the Wii remote is nowhere near as precise as the DS stylus and you...
