Wii Fit (Wii)

April 25, 2008
Wii Fit is so much fun and the delight of it is that I've seen people who wouldn't usually do conventional exercises working out.
I know its questionable how much you can expect to achieve just using Wii Fit, but the fact that you're doing some activity that is actually quite fun, rather than sitting on your rump and playing Mario Kart, surely thats a good thing?
Shame its out of stock most of the time, and its a shame that there are so many people out there willing to rip you off (thankfully for me, I got mine at its regular price). When you can get it, do.

Mario Kart (Wii)

After playing this game on my friend's Wii, I went out and bought a Wii and this game. That's how much I enjoyed it.

I have the original Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo. The basic game play is pretty much the same. You are controlling one of the characters from the Mario universe as you attempt to race around tracks and win. Along the way, you can pick up power ups to help you or hinder your opponents. Of course, that means they can attack you as well, so watch out.

With this incarnation, you've got 32 courses to play. You start out with half of them available and earn the other half as you win races. They include fun new courses created for this version as well as the best of the courses from the older incarnations ... Read More:

Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Games
from: Nintendo

The character recognition is dire - enter a 1 then a 2 with an obvious gap between for 12 and it sees a 4 ! Enter a 1 and a 3 and it interprets a 9. It frequently fails to recognise Yellow (the only 2 syllable colour in the game and it interprets as Red). Most software lets you adjust for your own voice - this does not. You cannot correct wrong scores. I am now aware that the Brain Training has been panned on BBCs Watchdog - I wish I had seen it.

Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock with Wireless Guitar Controller (Wii)

This game is really addictive , not easy, but you feel you have to just try again & again & again then when you get a song right you just have to try the next song and so it goes on. Hence the frustration. The songs are good even though I didn't know many off them before I got the game, they grow on you quite quickly. Overall it will keep you busy for quite some time. So well worth the money.

Spore (Mac/PC DVD)

This game is limited to 3 activations. An activation is used when you install or upgrade your computer. Once all the activations are used up, the game stops working!

The DRM used by the game, SecuROM, is very invasive and harvests information about your computer and monitors / disrupts other legitimate applications that it deems may be used for piracy. This is an incredulous state of affairs and if piracy is a problem for the industry, the industry should prosecute the pirates and not invade the customers own computer with spyware to monitor them. It's way too draconian.

Carnival: Fun Fair Games (Wii)

I am glad that this was free with my wii wich I bought on amazon because it's rubbish. The actions you do don't relate to what actually happens so it's hard to win anything.( and when you do, the prizes aren't even worth the bother you just get things that make you look sily) The games are mostly one player or you take it in turns. It's anoyying that you have to have a stupid little character instead of a mii because the characters for it have wierd faces and there are no good clothes to put on them.

I'm very annoyed that I didn't wait and get a different game free!
though I would be more annoyed if I had actually paid for this rubbish game.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is an amazing game. Multiplayer is by far the best part of it.
Theres also such a varied number of games. Usually there are 5 of us playing and we're all good at different things so no one feels left out. Single player is not quite as good but still very fun.
I don't understand how people find the controls difficult. Theyre really easy. And I love the way swimming strokes are different for each character. Me and my best friend love doing the swimming relay together, and it was fun trying out each character to put the fastest in our relay.

All in all I REALLY RECOMMEND this game

World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Pack (PC/Mac)

*Sigh* TBH if someones looking to buy WotLK, chances are they play WoW (World Of Warcraft Battlechest (PC/Mac)) already and plan to play some more, as such I think they'll have a ROFL at your whinge then read comments that actually have something to do with THIS expansion NOT the game it expands upon. For my part I sadly haven't been sent a Beta key, but I am always checking on wowhead/curse/wow-europe for updates about the expansion. If, by any chance, you happen to be looking at this expansion with a view to starting WoW from scratch, check the sites I've mentioned for more info. The 1-80 will not be a short road but blizz are reducing the hardships of the first 50 levels to make getting to the cutting edge of the game a quicker less grindy experience. I've played ...
