Cate West: The Vanishing Files is not a game you play so much as look at and wax contemplative. It's a throwback to graphical adventures where static but usually stunning scenery just sits there on screen and you're expected to point and click items and objects within it, read telling notes and listen to day spa music.

Fortuitously, the famed Wii remote controller (Wii-mote) is a rather dependable pointing device, and it's used simply and elegantly as just such here.

As criminal investigator psychic, Cate West, you're expected to have a penchant for staring at stunning scenery, or two near-identical landscapes and then picking out differences, finding evidence or fragments of evidence or just finding Waldo (so to speak). Oh, and you read telling notes and listen to day spa music.

The game is slow as all heck, plodding and sometimes tedious (sometimes anxiety-laden, just to shake it up a bit), but it's also a refreshing respite from the glut of waggle fests you usually find on Wii. Instead, it's a dreamy, low cost, low pressure game that's more relaxing than enthralling, which ain't such a bad thing at the end of a long day.
