Mario Kart Wii

May 27th, 2008 by Mr. Mai Tai

If you have a Wii then you need this game.  I was a little skeptical when I heard about it but I have to tell you I think it is one of the best games out there for the Wii.  It comes with the Wii wheel whcih takes some getting used to but I now prefer the wheel.  You can always use a standard controller but I have become used to the feel of the wheel.  The best feature is being able to challenge people using your Wi-Fi connection.  I can race my friends and never leave the comfort of my own home.  The only thing that would make it better is a head set so I could communicate to my friends as I race.  Normally I am just yelling at my television. It would be nice to yell at them.

May 20th, 2008 by Mr. Mai Tai

I have a Wii. I don’t have Wii fitness. I guess the games has you enter some figures like height and weight and it comes back with your BMI. If it doesn’t like your numbers it calls you fat. I am soon people will be suing Nintendo because their Wii made them become bulimic and anorexic.

March 10th, 2008 by Mr. Mai Tai

I haven’t played any of the other games in this series but I think I might want to try this one out. Everything I have read about it says it is a must have game for the Wii.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

February 20th, 2008 by Mr. Mai Tai

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is being released in June of 2008.  I think this version is going hit or miss.  If you like Aerosmith this is going to be great.  If you don’t like Aerosmith you will probably pass on this one.  It will be interesting to see how well it does.  If it is a big seller I am sure we will see more.  I can totally seeing them doing a Guitar Hero: Kiss.

Wii Bundles

December 18th, 2007 by Mr. Mai Tai

I hate game console bundles.  I want to choose the accessories and games.  I don’t need the retailers telling me that if I want the console I have to buy three games and two controllers.  It looks like Nintendo agrees

“Retailers have already been given feedback that we are not big fans of that. We think it masks some of the price advantage we have versus our competition and, frankly, the consumer should decide what they want,” Fils-Aime said.

It remember when I bought my XBox.  I got the XBox and bundled with it was a crappy racing game that I didn’t want.  I sold the game on ebay and made a couple of bucks and went and bought a game I wanted.  Good for Nintendo.

Minesweeper: The Movie

November 27th, 2007 by Mr. Mai Tai

I never played a lot of Minesweeper.  The game is fine but it is not my cup of tea.  I find Minesweeper: The Movie to be much more entertaining than the actual game.

Rock Band Setlist

October 29th, 2007 by Mr. Mai Tai

Guitar Hero III just came out.  In a move to possibly steal some thunder from the competitor Rock Band just released their set list.  I noticed that more than a few of the songs have already been done by Guitar Hero franchise.  I am still undecided if I am going to get this or not.  I have a Wii but I am still unclear if it is going to be available for the Wii or not.  It is reportedly coming out for the PS2 which I also have but it will be a scaled down version.  I think it will be fun to play but I am not going to buy a new console for one game.

Its a Me Mario- Charles Martinet

September 25th, 2007 by Mr. Mai Tai

Since I purchased my Wii I have been playing quite a few of the Mario games.  Charles Martinet is the the voice of Mario and numerous other Nintendo characters.  Who would think that the voice of an animated Italian plumber would come from this guy.  

Digg!
