Buy a Nintendo Wii on Ebay

This is one of our extra Nintendo Wii’s that we decided to list for sale on eBay for $250 (no reserve). It comes with an extra controller and nunchuck and is brand new. At that price it’s a steal.

Hurry, the listing ends soon:

GameFly Fun with Sonic

Now that I’m officially a GameFly member, I have new games rolling in all the time. I plan to give all the Wii games a try, and review them according to my own criteria. My first two games arrived 5 days after I signed up for the service. It only took 4 days for them to get to Florida from LA – not bad! The games arrived with a Papa John’s pizza coupon, so next time you order online, use the promotion code GameFly to receive a second pizza for 99 cents.

For no particular reason, I started with Sonic and the Secret Rings. Going into it I had no expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. All I have to say is mini-games, but more on them later. Starting with the single player part of the game, as Sonic, you travel through seven worlds completing challenges. It’s pretty easy to catch on, but that doesn’t mean it’s not frustrating. You have to be fairly patient (ack) to get used to the right way to control Sonic, and the story line isn’t very captivating. Overall, it’s fun to watch Sonic speed around all the amazing graphics the game provides.

Next, the minigames!

As soon as I discovered mini-games, that’s all I’ve been able to play.

The Carpet Pull mini-game provides a way to tone your arms while making you look and feel goofy. It’s definitely a game for parties or something anyone can play with absolutely no game knowledge. All the mini-games are like that, which makes them so enjoyable for me.

Parasol Diving is another one of my favorites. We are having friends over this weekend, and I’m going to make everyone play these games (up to 4 people can play at once). I’ll have to review them again after a few drinks.

Canoe Survival is another good way to tone your arms while practicing your canoing skills. All you have to do is avoid falling off the waterfall. Oh and it helps if you don’t get attacked by the bees.

Knockdown Battle is pretty self explanatory, and it feels kinda good forcing players off an edge and into the water.

These videos are of the first time we played the games, hence the total lack of skill. Playing drunk also adds another level of fun. This game has something to offer everyone – beginners, experts, and party-goers. Definitely recommended.
