Quick and dirty

Like any other piece of exercise equipment, it’s worth is in its use. I really enjoyed most of the excercise”games” and activities. The downside to Wii Fit is it’s $90 price tag and that all the content isn’t available from the start. But there is fun to be had and who couldn’t benefit from getting their heart rate up a little more often. Bottom Line: Good Buy

Very Unnecessary

Video Review

With all the hoopla about Wiiware’s lack of storage space many of us forgot about the most important point, the games. I don’t think that Wiiware is the second coming or anything but one title in its launch really stands out. Coincidentally it was the only Wiiware launch title that initially caught my eye, Lost Winds. I am only about 2.5 hours into it but I can’t put it down. It is the only game I’ve played this week and that means a lot in a post-GTA release world. Some of the other WW(Wiiware) launch titles look a bit suspect. Pop, I am looking at you. Lost Winds is a platformer that allows you to use gusts of wind to scale the environment, solve puzzles and defeat enemies. You control Toku who with the help of Enril, a wind element, must defeat a vengeful previously imprisoned elemental named Balasar. The gameplay is simple and the difficulty so far has ramped up appropriately. Gusts of wind are in your control to interact with fire, earth(rocks) and water to solve easy and pause worthy puzzles. Multiplayer is something I have yet to try but that would be icing on the cake. Bottom Line: $10 well spent.

The video streaming works quite well and the ability to finally download DS demos at home is nice. I am a geek and all but I really didnt’ see myself bringing my DS to Gamestop to download a demo.

This is a little over 2 minutes of footage from some Sony event in the UK. Looks good but I am still more interested in Resistance 2.

The game is fun. It’s no 10/10 though. I still manage to play other games. I find that I can play GTA’s single player for an hour or two and then I get tired of driving around. So it’ll take me awhile to finish it. The multiplayer is quite enjoyable. The controls feel a little unresponsive at times but it’s forgivable.  Hopefully this week I’ll be able to post some GTA videos and some videos of Snake Mode on MGO.
