Smiths Market Place on 3300 S. and 3300 E. has a lot of WIIs in stock, and a
lots of games too.

can't believe I am commenting on this, but Gears of War 2. You forgot that
one.
Want a Wii? | 8:19 a.m. Dec. 2, 2008
There are dozens of Wii's for sale directly from other consumers on sites
like Half (dot) com and ebay. I bought a Wii on half (dot) com and then turned
around and sold it on the same website (at virtually the same price) a few
months later... I ended up buying a PS3 with the proceeds on ebay! Bottom line,
skip the middle man and buy from your neighbor.

Sadly, the Half Life 1 for $0.98 deal ended a week or two ago. It's back
to $9.99 now.

I picked up a Wii for my sister a few weeks ago at the Smith's Marketplace
on 400 South. She couldn't find any up in Logan. Smith's seems to be
getting them on a fairly regular basis, but it might be harder now that
we're on the other side of Thanksgiving and more people are doing Christmas
shopping.

Not a bad article, but missing some obvious games. Pretty good descriptions of
the games too. You should guide parents to the website whattheyplay.com, which
offers parents a good resource to educate themselves on the games their kids are
asking for.
There is a reason all your neighbors are selling their Wiis. A Wii is fun to play for a couple hours, then gathers dust, so save $50 and get a 360, or spend some extra cash and get a PS3 with the benifit of a blu-ray player. Both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 have a good selection of games available for all audiences.

A PS3 is not for gaming. It is basically a cheap blu-ray player. It is the only
reason it has survived. And the reason that Playstation 2 games are still
selling so well (I have two PS2s myself).
As for a Wii collecting dust...sure, if you are too much of a couch potato to move more than your thumbs when you are playing games. Otherwise, they can certainly go the distance.

Santa is bringing the WII to our house this year. I choose this game system
because it seemed as if I had a lot more options for family friendly games.
When I looked in the stores it seemed the other systems had a lot of violent
games. We have enough violence. We need more good clean bloodless fun. I look
forward to getting some of the games listed in this article and I appreciate
CMcAfee given that website! It was something I have been thinking about and
hadn't taken the time to find.

Well, we've had a WII since they came out, and it's still the console
of choice at our house. Everything else is gathering dust.

You have forgotten the meaning of CHRISTmas folks.

WII seems to be the real winner overall. Xbox seems to have the best selection
of games and online capability, however system wise the 360 is a ticking
timbomb. If you own one you've probably sent it in for repairs at least
once, bought a replacement or had to replace games its eaten. The PS3 so far
has been rock solid, its behind not only due to price but the game selection is
a little more specific.
Most people I know who own a WII for more than 6 months have stopped playing it. But I see that as a plus, a good video game system is cheap, fun and easily picked up and played for a bit, then put back down. You dont want video games to claim hours of your day, believe me.

World of Warcraft | 10:37 a.m. Dec. 2, 2008
This game is all the game you need imo

Gears of war 2! What better way to spread holiday cheer than to chainsaw
opponents to bits.
WoW is Goofy | 12:24 p.m. Dec. 2, 2008
World of warcraft is truly as nerdy as it gets. If you are trying to level up a
cimmerian elf herder and capture the crown jewels of Tiberius and you are over
12 years old please put the game down.
Come on! | 2:18 p.m. Dec. 2, 2008
You don't want WoW, unless you don't want a life. You've heard
what people say about it and how WoW Fanboys defend it, but everything the
opposition says is true, WoW really takes away too much time out of your life.
Get Gears 2 or Halo 3 and enjoy some multiplayer fun, not a destructive force
that takes your time and destroys your relationships....
RE: WoW is Goofy | 2:35 p.m. Dec. 2, 2008
Certainly not a real WoW player are we? But my choice for the kids is Wii as it
is much more aligned to their age. Teen-agers are WoW junkies if they keep
grades and others aspects of life in balance.

If anyone needs a little preview perspective of wow life Larry D. Curtis has a
great article about a show based on it in his blog in the entertainment section.
The Dude | 4:34 p.m. Dec. 2, 2008
What about Left 4 Dead.. its a cool zombie game.
Uncharted | 5:58 p.m. Dec. 2, 2008
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for PS3 is like an interactive Indiana Jones
adventure.
Tons of fun. Does have some language, though, in case you have younger kids you don't want repeating what they hear.

A big, big omission.

They did leave some games off of here. MGS4, Gears of War 2, and Resistance 2
to name a few. They are spot on with their description of NHL 09. Best sports
game ever made, of any sport.
And to Roc: xbox fanboy much? The PS3 isn't a "just a cheap Blu-Ray player" by any means. It is the best value for a Blu-Ray player and is touted on many tech websites as being the best player available.
