Nintendo Wii Top Games

Metroid Prime Trilogy Collector's Edition

Amazon Price: (as of 01/03/2010)

Shortly put, this trilogy has the best that Nintendo has to offer for both average and hardcore gamers. Great controls, graphics, and environments have set the bar high back at the original release in 2004 and continue that tradition with the other two installments. This collection will keep you busy for well over 50 hours of awesome exploring and puzzle solving as well.

I love this game! Three of the best Metroid titles ever rolled into one. Controls take a little getting used to, and the in-game menu is a little confusing. Sometimes it's tough to figure out what to do next, but what's a good game without some challenges? Love the tons of bonus content that comes with it, and the stuff you have to unlock too. Overall, I am very satisfied with this game, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Guitar Hero 5 Stand Alone Software

Amazon Price: $56.99 (as of 01/03/2010)

The songs aren't as good as they were in Guitar Hero 3, but they are much better than in GH:WT so far. I haven't played through the whole game yet. They took out a lot of the annoying elements in GH:WT. There's less, but enough, options for creating your rocker, a much less confusing system for unlocking things and you don't have to wait for the game to connect to the internet: now it does that while you make your selections from the menus. There's not much else to say about the game. It's a Guitar Hero game with improvements and new songs.

Wii The Beatles: Rock Band - Software Only

Amazon Price: $53.99 (as of 01/03/2010)

The Beatles: Rock Band is absolutely a treat for hard core Beatles fans', and one of the most delightful games you could honestly imagine. While I honestly did wish that there could've been a few tracks from their Beatles' solo works as well, which could've brought in a bit more fun. But nevertheless, this is a great way to enjoy The Beatles experience if you are a video game lover heart and soul. If you had to choose between Guitar Hero 5, and The Beatles: Rock Band, I really suggest you say Hey Jude and Hello Goodbye to The Fab Four.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10

Amazon Price: $40.00 (as of 01/03/2010)

This game is just the kind I wanted when I bought the Wii. They have improved it a lot over 09 and using the Wii Plus just makes it that much better. The whole idea is computer games is to meet certain goals to increase your skills and performance, so no, it's not going to be great until you work your way up, take the challenges, increase your skill level and buy items which also increase your skills. I had to learn that with 09. Now that I know it I like 10 even better.

New Super Mario Bros

Amazon Price: $49.99 (as of 01/03/2010)

This game is addicting. We are hooked. We really like the multiplayer mode, because we can play with our child who does not tend to play video games and help her through the levels. It is fun to watch and to play. It is just like the original with some bonus items.

DJ Hero Bundle with Turntable

Amazon Price: $114.99 (as of 01/03/2010)

I've been a Fan of Guitar Hero for a long time. The creation of DJ Hero just adds to my fan base for the series. DJ Hero for me is a long time coming because the majority of music I listen to is Hip Hop. Being a amatuer DJ, I enjoyed playing along with the scratches and taps. The music was up to date and I recognized all the music content within the game. The Guest DJs were also a great addition. Too bad it only came with one Turntable instead of the traditional two but that in no way takes away from the gameplay. Can't wait for more downloadable content. I see myself playing DJ Hero for along time.

Little King's Story

Amazon Price: $36.99 (as of 01/03/2010)

The game itself certainly isn't. Little King's Story looks like it might just be some cutesy childs game, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. This is a reasonably complex game of strategy that includes village development, army building, conquering territory, etc. It's hard to resist the addictive quality of the Little King and his loyal followers who will happily give up their lives for you.

Little King's Story is an excellent game. The controls, graphics, sounds, and gameplay work together to make a great story for anybody willing to put the time in. It was well worth the money I spent for it, and would advise anybody to give this game a shot.

Boom Blox Bash Party

Amazon Price: $27.99 (as of 01/03/2010)

If your looking for a family activity that the youngest to the oldest can all enjoy, this is it. I'm not usually one for gaming unless they are the classics, so when a friend recommended this game and sent it to me, I let my 7 year old play it. Well, that is all it took. Now the whole family is addicted to the variety that each level holds. You can blow things up, which my boys enjoy, grab objects with a sticky hand or even use a slingshot (my favorite). There is good music, cute animal antics and plenty of room for family members to create their own profile to play. I even have my 65 year old stepdad that plays when he visits. I now have to get the original so I can play even more! The only problem, your having so much fun the time just flies by!

Punch-Out!!

Amazon Price: $44.99 (as of 01/03/2010)

This is a perfect update of Punchout, combining the original's addictive gameplay with stunning, wonderful animation and tons of style and charm. The characters are so entertaining that you'll want to fight them again and again. You'll probably find yourself laughing and yelling out loud as you play: It's almost impossible not to. Like all of Nintendo's best games, Punchout provides a great challenge without being unfair: The visual clues for beating each fighter are right there for you to discover, and once you spot a character's weakness, you'll have to face him several times to perfect the timing needed to take him down.

Sharp gameplay and a cast of terrific, unforgettable characters make this one of the most purely fun titles I've ever played. I hope they make a sequel.

Guitar Hero Metallica

Amazon Price: $36.99 (as of 01/03/2010)

The game plays much better than the other titles in this series. The animations are ridiculous as this is the first time that actual band member video capture was used to show every last mannerism and make the songs truly come alive in the experience. The extras, like behind the scenes videos and facts about the songs and band are a must for the true hardcore fan.

Guitar Hero Metallica for the Wii is just great! The songs are very challenging which makes them so much fun to play. We also have the drums and that makes it double the fun to play with someone else. I highly recommend this title for any Guitar Hero fan, let alone Metallica fans everywhere.
