Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Luxor Pharoah's Challenge

Luxor Pharoah's Challenge is a puzzle type game. Reminds me of a slorg game on Neopets. You basically just match up three bubbles of the same color to make them disappear. The chain moves on a path along the screen and you shoot the bubbles up at it to match up the colors. It is pretty easy to play and for a puzzle game lover like me easy to get addicted to. However, it is not the same endless want to play hours type of addiction of playing a portable puzzle game like on the DS.

The whole aiming at the television screen gets a little frustrating after a half hour at a time and I need a break, but I did come back to it several times before finally mailing it back after a week of having it. That is really saying something for me, as I tend to only play one or two days (less than an hour a day) before mailing my rental games back. Not worth owning on the Wii, but I there is a DS version I would not mind having if only I had the money to spend on games. It is either rent with a 2 game a month plan on Gamefly or be able to buy one game a month and I would rather rent.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: New Everybody Votes Polls and Results September 29, 2009

The newest National poll is When making a sandwich, which one of these condiments do you use more frequently? Mustard or Mayonnaise. I never put mustard on a sandwich, but I sometimes put mayonnaise on a sandwich, so I voted for that. My prediction is more will say mustard.

What is your answer to this poll and what do you predict will be the most popular?

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Fishing Master World Tour

I really enjoyed the original Fishing Master. I finally got around to renting the World Tour version. It is pretty good, but it is not that much of an improvement and actually the casting seems to work worse. It is kind of cool that you fish around the world, though.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party

I thought Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party would be interesting because it has balance board compatibility. It certainly is interesting with the crazy rabbids and the odd mini games that are a play on television shows and channels. However, some of the controls are just as crazy to the point of frustrating. I just do not get the stupid sitting on the Wii board crap and the whole driving games such with the balance board added. I guess it would be okay played without the balance board, but the whole balance board experience tainted my view of the game. If you liked the other Rayman Raving Rabbids games I say give it a try, but try it without the balance board and give it a fairer chance than I did.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Disney Sing It

I rented Disney Sing It since I finally have a Wii microphone from the Rock Band 2 bundle. I only rented it because it has one of my all time favorite songs "Ready, Set, Don't Go." It really is not worth it for just this one song, especially since I do not like singing. Now if they came out with one with classic Disney songs from movies and not stupid modern stuff like Aly & AJ and Camp Rock I might even like it if it was just singing. If it had guitar and/or drum compatibility with the Rock Band set or even just with Wii remote and nunchuck like Ultimate Band, I might even like it with the modern songs. As is it was kind of boring, although the music videos are totally real graphic wise like you would see on television. The only other interesting thing is the variety of play modes, but since I do not like the singing no matter the variety it does not get me into it. I also do not like the way the words come up on the screen. At least the Rock Band scrolling way is way better than this line by line way.
