    I just picked up a Wii last night. Wii Sports is off the chain. My wife who sucks at video games beat me in tennis last night, so it's really a system non gamers can pick up easy. I bought Super Paper Mario this morning and can't wait to get home to play it.

    You can get games like that on playstation without having to put up with the big releases being aimed at school kids though.

    A video game console should not cost $500+. That's just f*cking ridiculous.

    It's also a Blu Ray player.
    Those are 1000. Which, admittedly, is even more f*cking ridiculous.

    Wii Play or even WarioWare. The games are short, fun, easy to understand and laso teach you how to use the console so your kid can go on to other game easily once theyve played those two.

    Well what fucking planet do you THINK we all live on?
    This one, or this new combo one is nice, isn't it?

    Price drops in HD players are fairly recent occurrences, like:
    this one, by Sony, or this one, by Samsung.

    My kids (10 and 7) like Mario Strikers. Wii Sports gets most of the attention though. Lego Star Wars comes out in a month which will be fun, but it looks like Super Smash Brothers Brawl has been delayed. Also Super Monkey Ball for the Wii sucked, glad that one was only a rental. The mini games were horrible.

    OK, just picked up a Wii for the kids for Christmas. They are 9 and 6. Any must-have games? The guy at the store said Paper Mario.

    What is Madden like?

    Call of Duty looks cool (but I wouldn't let them play that one of course).

    I'd recommend Lego Star Wars for the Wii, it comes out Nov 6. The gamecube versions were a lot of fun and kept my kids busy, I'm sure they'll get this one too.

    Super Mario Galaxy (comes out Nov. 12?) is probably a better bet than Paper Mario. Read a few good reviews about this one.

    My daughter (who is 10) had a chance to play the Ben 10 game that comes out Oct. 30th, and really liked it.

    Big Brain Academy is good, makes them think. Mrs. Merkinball likes this one.

    Have you tried Metroid Prime 3?

    Really looking forward to Smash Brothers.

    I was actually going to say, Metroid is an excellent game, loads to do, lasts for ages but its not a kids game, the puzzles would probably be too much. You should pick up Mario Galaxy, kids will love it and you'll probably find yourself having a crack at it.

    You should have went John McEnroe on his ass and hit him with the Wii-mote (I know its a remote but Wii-mote is just fun to say:D).
    By the way could you do me a favour? Drop by Mcready's and ask him and guys to play a few US summer shows, I wanna check them out on 'their turf' and summer would be awesome. If you could do that I'd appreciate very much :)
