All I Want For Christmas Is A Completely Harmless Wii Game

Yeah...uh, that doesn't have the same ring as "two front teeth" but whatever. Presenting an overload of cuteness and holiday cheer that is a must have for you Wii owners with small children that celebrate Christmas. (Leave to the Wii to provide us with a game no one asked for...and I'm so glad they did - cuteness is go!)



If you own a Wii, have small children, celebrate Christmas and don't get this game, I hope your tree burns to the ground. Okay, maybe that is a little extreme but listen, this game is super cute. We Wish You A Merry Christmas is a sweet little budget game from Destineer Games. And this game has a lot included for its $20 price tag.

Let's see...it has a few mini games, you can decorate a tree, write a letter to Santa Claus, color pictures, throw a log on the fire and roast marshmallows, plus it has a Christmas radio and an Advent calendar. Yes, Modern Warfare 2 it is not but we could all use a little brainless holiday gaming every once in a while, yes? And how could the modern parent not make gaming a part of their Christmas traditions? (As long as the Wii is around anyway)

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go turn the first day in my "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" Advent calendar and make hot chocolate for the elves. :D

Zombies Get Fit

It seems like people are peeing themselves over vampires (*yawn*) and zombies at the moment. Twilight has taken over like a bad rash and new zombie survival guides are hitting the shelves everyday. All is not lost however because Zombie Apocalypse for the Xbox Live arcade is awesome.

Think of it like Gauntlet...with zombies. Plus, I can blow things up, double weld AND pitch zombies into those trash compactor things they use for cars. The multiplayer is awesome as well. It's so satisfying to shoot through the zombie pile up currently suffocating your partner. It's 800 points so just buy it now and thank me later.

Also, Wii Fit Plus is oot and aboot (as my dear Canadian chums would say) and it is a pretty good improvement over the first one. Calories are now counted, all of the games are unlocked from the beginning (finally!) and your Mii still looks suicidal when they're stomach swells after your weigh-in.

Gaming is good.

E3 and The Second Coming of Katamari

E3 is upon us once again and since I am not lucky enough to be a part of the masses currently playing the latest and (hopefully) greatest or watching Steve Wiebe go for Mitchell's DK record, I decided to watch G4's E3 "coverage" and crochet Ichigo from Katamari Damacy:


I won't give you the boring details of E3, you can find that anywhere and everywhere but I will say that Microsoft had a pretty good showing (me want Beatles Rock Band!), Nintendo's conference was the saddest thing I've seen in a long long time (Vitality? ... seriously?) and I can only imagine that Sony's will be 15 minutes long since I'm assuming they'll be done once they discuss the new PSP and God of War III.

E3 is go!
