So my parents bought a Wii a while back for our late Christmas present, and I'd just been chillin' with Wii Sports. Its fun but its not amazing. So then I figured, why not get the best game out for the system (1 of the 2 tied in the overall rankings)? Besides gas I hadn't spent any of my bday money on anything for myself, and I went out and bought Super Smash Bros. Brawl. While it is a great game, it isn't really a Wii game. It is a Gamecube game made for the Wii. There is nothing to implement the Wii-mote whatsoever. My thoughts on what they could have done was to have the attacks be holding down A or B button and moving the mote in whatever direction. This would make it easier to distinguish moving, jumping, and attacking, while at the same time not just having it be a a Gamecube game on the Wii played with no Wii-mote integration whatsoever. That is my only real complaint (besides the overcensoring of WiiConnect online play; not being able to talk, no leaderboards or any stat anything to make you feel good about yourself). That being established, this game is great. Its fun, addicting, and every friend loves it. Super kind of mini-review rating 9.55 screw .5 intervals. Side note: This is the second highest score I've given a game. I gave Subsistence a 9.6

Another game I've played recently is Boom Blox. I rented it and got to play it a decent amount. I had read mixed reviews, but the ones that gave it really high scores made me really excited. It delivered to my expectations. I was thinking that when I rate this game I'll give it a 9.5 just like SSBB. When the initial reaction wore off it when from awesome to great. Its ridiculously fun, simple, and it uses the mote well. It is kind of childish though, the graphics are very underwhelming, and the build mode isn't as good as I thought it would be (mainly cause I don't feel like putting in tons of time to make something that is already made for me).

Final Score 8.9

So I have been looking around and waiting to get a Wii for a long time. The better part is that my parents wanted one. So I gave up calling our Walmart, the nearest Best Buy, and wherever. I went to go buy There Will be Blood when it came out this Tuesday. Tuesday is the day our Walmart would occasionally get a Wii. That means a Wii about every other week which was sold at midnight Tuesday. So I went after school and I saw four there. I called my parents and told them there was some there and they should pick one up, and I guess they really wanted to. So I've been playing Wii Sports and am planning on getting Brawl within the next couple days.

Well I've taken my leave because of football and whatever, but I'll kind of be back now. I gotta work to support the finishing up of my video game funds. I'll try and post at some of my unions more often though.
