Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

Anyone looking to play one of the finest games in the last ten years, look no further. Resident Evil 4 is a masterpiece, taking the Resident Evil formula and injecting it with much needed action. First, you'll be scared (VERY scared), but then you'll realize, even as you are shaking in your boots, that you can't stop playing!

Selling Points:

Furious action, which is a new feature for Resident Evil games.
A real cinematic experience: others will want to watch, if they can stand the horror! The voice acting is some of the best you'll hear.
All of the PS2 "bonus" stuff is included, such as the Ada Wong side quest.
Wii remote provides pixel perfect shooting accuracy.
Cheap, can be had for less than $30!

Potential Drawbacks:

You may have played this on the Gamecube or PS2.




Picross DS

A deceptively simple puzzle game, Picross is mind bending fun. Using the stylus, you'll remove blocks to reveal a picture. Sound simple? Yes, it is. But trust me, the rules of the game make it quite challenging! A fun multiplayer mode is included, as well as "Daily Picross," which tracks your progress and rewards you for sticking with the program.

And if that isn't good enough, you can download new puzzles free from Nintendo's Wi-Fi connection service!

Selling Points:

Simple, addictive fun.
Local multiplayer is a blast.
Tons of puzzles, and you can download more.
Daily Picross mode gives the game a "Brain Age" feel.
Cheap: Only $20 new.

Potential Drawbacks

Don't buy if you don't like puzzle games.
This isn't a "flashy" puzzler, like Meteos or Puzzle Quest. It's a pretty vanilla affair.
