Spent several hours reading about Wii hacks for backups, and went so far as to have an SD card loaded with the necessary apps, but then changed my mind at the last minute because I just don't have the time to KEEP UP with changes and shit, and it's not a road I want to start down.
Which brings me to a slate of quick reviews I've been wanting to do for a while now:
We haven't used
Wii Fit since a week after we bought it, three months ago. It kinda sucked. Long pauses in the middle of workouts fucks up any semblance of flow, and it's not really specific enough with its "personalized workout" to be worth turning on.
Haven't played
Okami in forever (still got stuck in that town with the hill and the rock wall blocking our exit, I think). I have no patience for exploration. I just wanna fight.
Resident Evil 4 has also been collecting dust because I find the control scheme clunky. And: I can't walk and shoot at the same time?! May try it some more tho, ain't gonna throw it out just yet.
Rayman Raving Rabbits was okay a couple times, before getting a little repetitive and a lot stupid. Even Kate didn't find that shit funny.
No More Heroes also sucks (not quite as awful as
Red Steel, but close). I read good reviews for it; I no longer trust most game reviewers.
Wii Fit with the board was $80, the rest THANKK GOD were only $20... but that's $160 wasted.
On the other hand:
Kate loves the matching game on
Wii Play (I think we got that one for $10) and the cow racing game, and the fishing. Simple shit, but fun.
But what we really dig is
Wii Sports -- easily the most played title in our home. Tennis and Golf, baby, followed by Boxing, Baseball (I hate it but kate likes it), and Bowling.
Wii Sports Resort with the M+ sensor is already in my Amazon wish list, but I'm thinking we might actually go to a store and get it!
I'm also considering
Tiger Woods 10 (another M+ title) as well, tho I'm worried it'll be too challenging. I considered
Virtua Tennis and
EA Tennis or whatever it's called (more M+ games) but reviews made those sound *definitely* too challenging. I just wanna pick something up and have fun for ten minutes before dinner, yanno?
And
The Force Unleashed was in my wish list until yesterday's announcement of a PC version with added stuff.
