Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Mario Galaxy 2 may utterly lack the original game's originality, but it's just as much a joy to play. Mind the cow.

All Star Karate

As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him a duck. Turns out, you can't make a fighting game out of All Star Karate, either.

How to Train Your Dragon

Funny thing about videogames based on movies is that there's nothing funny about how much they suck. How to Train Your Dragon distinguishes itself by sucking less than expected.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

If you're looking for a monster bashing action game, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is not it, though it does have monsters. However, if you're into survival-horror adventure full of puzzling challenges, psychoanalysis-on-a-stick and none too infrequent jolts of panic, then this is the one.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Just when you thought Mario couldn't possibly bring anything new to the table and was simply content to relive his glory days with updated graphics, poof! Penguin suit. Mario, you are the MAN.

Though the third Need for Speed game on Wii, Need for Speed: Nitro is actually the first of EA's seminal racing franchise designed specifically for Nintendo's little white wonder.

GoPlay City Sports

The third outing for Majesco's GoPlay line of family-friendly Wii fluff, GoPlay City Sports shows a marked improvement over previous offerings, but it still costs more than it should.

Baseball Blast

2K Sports forgoes its hardcore sports simulation roots with Baseball Blast, an acceptable, sport-themed foray into the lucrative blossom of "family fun night" videogames on Wii.
