#774 – Nintendo Wii Game Console Video Review
"The Nintendo Wii Game Console is all the rage, but it's not about the high definition graphics. What everyone is getting so excited about is the gameplay. This game console literally puts you in the game. It's a tremendous amount of fun, especially with two or more players. It's really something you have to experience yourself to appreciate! Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end." ~3dGameMan.com
The Top Five Wii Games For The Year
We are approaching the end of the year as I write this and the Wii console has had another great year with huge demand for the wii bundles from the general public regardless of the economic conditions. We have seen some great game releases so at the end of the year here is my top five list of games that we will continue to enjoy over the coming months.
#5: De Blob
At number 5 we have De Blob which is a platformer based on the indie developed game of the same name. In this game the player stars as a small, colorful blob in a world being taken over by Nazi-esque gray blobs who are all bent on emptying the world of color forever. I think I may have met some people like that in my travels. Your objective in this game isto basically go from level to level, plopping yourself into different colors of paint and spreading color across a dull, gray city.
This can be a great family game as it supports four-player multiplayer action, and stands as a worthy example of a third-party Wii title done right.
#4: Guitar Hero World Tour
In fourth place we have Guitar Hero World Tour and this is so much more than just the fourth major installment in the Guitar Hero franchise. This is the first Wii Guitar Hero game to support downloadable content, and it showcases the best online multiplayer options for the series yet. One great feature is for players to go online for four-on-four battle of the bands matches.
You also have the game’s exclusive Mii jam session mode, offering you a simple, yet fun interactivity for up to two players.
#3: Mario Kart Wii
Where would we be without Mario Kart, which we place at number three. This is a very well-renowned game known for it’s deep combat racing gameplay. This the latest game in the series is also the first to offer you the option of motorcycles in addition to the classic karts and it's also the first console game in the series to feature online multiplayer, and has been lauded as having some of the best online gameplay that Nintendo has cooked up yet.
#2: No More Heroes
In second place we have a game from the makers of Killer7. No More Heros is an action-packed adventure geared toward mature audiences. Players take control of Travis Touchdown, a professional mercenary who got his own lightsaber over the internet.
You will find that a lot of the gameplay is very reminiscent of other sandbox-style gameplay creations, but the real meat of the game and the fun comes from the combat. Combos can be pulled off by pressing the A and B buttons, while the shaking of the Wii remote and nunchuk are used for extremely violent finishing moves.
No More Heroes is a great achievement and a must-have for those who have been waiting for the mature experience on the Wii.
#1: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
And finally at the number one position we have Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This is a series that has been brought up to date and released on every console Nintendo releases and it seem that no console is complete withoutit's own version of the classic Super Smash Bros. This latest incarnation, Brawl, goes way beyond anything the series has done yet, and delivers us a multiplayer action gaming experience you will not easily forget.
In a similar fashion to other releases for the wii Brawl is the first in the series to support online play. Multiplayer will give you the reason to keep coming back to this game time after time, enjoying the game and having a whole lot of fun for a long, long while

Racing Games On The Wii Console
Racing games are not everybodys favorite but they can be great fun to play. There is not a huge selection on the wii console and after the Wii was launched a few developers jumped onto the bandwagon without really getting thebest out of the wii and it's motion sensing control system so some of the games were not the best.
However, if you are looking for some good racing games there are some choice picks of three racing games for Wii that are well worth your time and money. You might like some of the others available but these are widely considered to be the best the wii console currently has to offer.
Excite Truck.
Excite Truck was a Wii launch title and doesn't offer either local or online racing but it does give you a terrific sense of speed which few other racing games can match.
Like most other Wii racing titles this one is played with the Wii remote which is held in a horizontal position in front of the player and tilted from side to side to steer as if it were a steering wheel. Pressing the D-pad engages your boost, which can be activated at any time but will overheat and slow down your engine if overused. You'll find the visuals are breathtaking even if the gameplay itself is a little on the shallow side but overall, it’s a good game that well worth playing.
The next racing game we look at is Need For Speed Carbon which is a street-racing game and comes with all the features that implies. Car shop and customization options, street car races, and police car chases make this game and the ability to customize your car’s paint job, engine, etc. all makes for a very replayable game. The actual races themselves are everything we have come to expect from the Need For Speed series.
Finally we come to Mario Kart Wii which is currently the very best racing game for Wii. One of the things that sets Mario Cart above the rest is the way the game features a total of four different control schemes. The first one is using the wii remote like a steering wheel and the game comes with a “Wii Wheel”, where you can insert the remote inside for easier handling. The second option is the Wii “remote & nunchuk” scheme, where the game is controlled as you would normally play a game after inserting the nunchuk into the remote but there is another option and that is that the game is compatible with both Gamecube and Classic Controllers if you have those already.
Mario Kart Wii was designed with online multiplayer support as part of the package and features some of the best and most convenient options Nintendo has ever achieved.
There is another fun feature and that is a Mario Kart Wii game of motorcycle racing which gives a whole different feel to the game. Some may say that the current best racers are on the Xbox 360 and PS3 and if you are a hard core racing game player you might look elsewhere but the developers are starting to get the features and abilities of the wii console so don't count out the Wii just yet.
