New Everybody Votes Channel Result and Poll

Here are the screenshots for the latest result and poll on the Wii Everybody Votes Channel. The results are of the In an elevator, do you stare at the floor numbers or at others? poll. The majority voted for was Display of Floor Numbers with 66.9%. I voted for At Others, but predicted the majority right. The new poll is Do you have any phobias? I voted yes because of my fear of ceiling fans and predict yes will be the majority, as long as people vote honestly.

Nintendo Wii Video Clip: Mercury Meltdown Revolution

Below is a video of me playing the Mercury Meltdown Revolution game. It was one of the funner games I have played recently. The video may be a little bouncy because I was holding it with one hand while playing with the other, hence why I also was not playing that good in the video.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Mercury Meltdown Revolution

I recently rented Mercury Meltdown Revolution. It kind of reminds me of playing Kororinpa Marble Mania on the Wii, but it is much trickier with it really taking some strategy to negotiate through the levels. I like the controls of tilting the Wii controller to tilt the level and roll the blob around. Maybe not a game for everyone, but I found it a fun challenging game to play.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Sonic Riders Zero Gravity

I tried this as a rental today and boy was I very disappointed. The game is so frustrating with its uninformative tutorial. I could not even get past the second objective about some dash thing. It never clearly tells you what to do. Basically I gave up after 15 minutes of that level and mailed it back. So glad I did not buy this game, as it was one of those games I often almost bought.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Big Beach Sports

I borrowed Big Beach Sports from my brother for a few hours today. I did not get to play it much, but did try each game. It is kind of a fun game to play, although I think it would get boring fast as a single player game. With some friends, though, it could be a really fun multiplayer game.

Game Boy Advance: Madagascar Operation Penguin

I totally love penguins, so I rented Madagascar: Operation Penguin. It is a fun adventure game, especially for kids or fellow penguin lovers. The graphics are great for a Game Boy Advance game. The game is overall a lot of fun to play and not too hard either. Click on the thumbnails below to see a larger version.

Nintendo DS Screenshots: Cartoon Network Racing

Cartoon Network Racing is a nice challenging Racing game. I am not really into the Cartoon Network characters, but I do love racing games and this one gives a good challenge. It starts out being kind of tough, so if you are not good at racing games this game can be frustrating. Click on the screenshots below to see a larger version.

Nintendo Wii Screenshots: Boom Blox

This is a fun new fangled Jenga like game. Sure it is not really all that much like Jenga, but that is the easiest thing I can come close to comparing it to. It does have some levels that are very Jenga like with you removing pieces and trying to not have it fall down. The best thing about this game is that it is a fun cooperative play multiplayer game. Also, it uses the uniqueness of the Wii controls pretty good. Click the thumbnails below to see a larger version of the screenshots.
