The "Mario Kart" franchise has been racing along ever since its debut on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System 16 years ago. Populated by Nintendo's beloved characters, the racing game zipped onto the Wii earlier this year, bringing with it 16 new race tracks, 16 retro tracks, the addition of motorcycles into the mix and a plastic Wii Wheel to help players feel like they%u2019re really in the driver's seat.

"Wii Fit" is an unusual offering from Nintendo. That is, it%u2019s a cross between a fitness tool and a video game, which makes it something altogether new. Whether "Wii Fit" excels as either a fitness device or as a game, remains up for debate. But what is not up for debate is the fact that "Wii Fit," with its unique approach and broad appeal, has brought many non-gamers into the gaming fold. And anything that opens the public%u2019s eyes to the wonderful possibilities offered by video games de...0 points

Welcome to snowboarding, without the pesky frostbite. Though the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of this snowboarding game hit a sour note with some players, Shaun White%u2019s Wii venture is a really well-executed game that puts the "Wii Fit" balance board to great use.

"Road Trip" finds you controlling your snow surfer by leaning to and fro on the Balance Board as if it really was a snowboard. And players without a Balance Board aren%u2019t left out either %u2013 the Wii Remote control scheme works...0 points

This ultra cool, ultra clever platforming game is just so much fun to play it should be in everyone%u2019s Wii collection.

"Okami" first launched in 2006 on the PlayStation 2 and when this elegant and artful game finally came to the Wii earlier this year, it felt like it should have been here all along.

Using the Wii's motion controls, players help a wolf/god named Amaterasu vanquish an ancient evil in a world that looks plucked from a traditional Japanese watercolor painting. And that's what makes "Okami" so special - the way it draws on the art of Japanese brush stroke for both its gorgeous visual style and its a...0 points

Geometry Wars began on the Xbox 360, but Wii owners reaped the benefits with the must-have Geometry Wars Galaxies.
