Cardsmasochist

Went to Wal-Mart over the weekend to buy a Wii points card so I could download World of Goo.

They stopped selling it! At least at the Wal Mart I went to. I bought one there before but it was over a year ago.

Anyway, I decided to just use my credit card and buy the game through the Wii consol. Since I have a wireless internet, I was a little worried doing this.

Anyway, I downloaded it and have been playing World of Goo with my son for the past 3 days. Of course, he is way better at it than I am but we both have a lot of fun playing it.

I ordered Shaun White Snowboarding online and should get that next week. I hope it is as fun as World of Goo!

I plan on checking out Braid (360) and Boom Blocks, too.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Keep 'em coming!

Okay, just realized that Braid is only on 360 and not on wii.

Boom Blocks looks really cool. I think I will get that one, too along with Mario Kart and Shaun White.

My 9 year old son loves the Lego games. Batman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars.

I'm just aprehensive about paying that much about a game I know little about. As big of a gamer that I am, I don't read many online reviews. I have been burned by DLC in the past, so again, I'm aprehensive.

I thought this was a Wii only title, but I saw it on the shelf at Target last night for PC. Hmm.

World of Goo is great and lives up to the hype.

I will be getting NASCAR KART tomorrow. I think it is the same as Mario Kart but with NASCAR drivers and cars.

NASCAR KART is okay, but not great. The audio sucks. Still like World of Goo, though.

Anyone play Tiger Woods on Wii? Just curious - I've read good and bad things about it. Would like an opinion from someone on the board.

I play Tiger Woods 2009 all the time. It's the first TW game I've played and I've really enjoyed it. Putting is the weakest part of the game play IMO and of course it's Wii graphics.

How's the interface? Just curious, thinking about picking it up.

Interface? Excuse my ignorance but could you be more specific?

i think the gameplay is pretty good on TW and really enjoy it - wii graphics are wii graphics, but all in all its a good game and a world better than some of the other golf titles

Sure - how do the controls work with the game - are they pretty responsive, accurate, etc.

I found the controls to be very good except for putting.
There are plenty of times that I'm more successful on approaches and chips when instead of trying to adjust my swing based on power level that I just imagined how I would swing out on the course. The key to consistent shots is all in the tempo since you don't have to worry about contact.

Putting control is definitely different than my normal putting stroke, but once I figured out a method I can control my stroke fairly well. All in all though, I don't see how TW is that much fun with a joystick or keyboard.

Of course Tiger 2010 is now out for Wii.
