Super Smash Brothers: The Expansion Pack

Literally a month ago on this day was the release of what could be considered one of the most highly awaited Wii games. Super Smash Bro's: Brawl.

I got a few chances to play this, and I must say, this game falls short of what a fan could want.

In short this was Nintendo's game that only sells because fans eat up the fact that is has a lot of their favorite characters from all the Nintendo games (plus licensed to Nintendo character's now) in the same game ... that being said it is true this games controls are better then most movie games(the worst games constantly for fans of anything), but compared to them there really isn't much more to be happy about.

For starters they added a on-line multi-player mode, pretty sweet for any SSB fan. To bad if you play with Wi-Fi you'll lag out of the game or just lose because you can't control your character fast enough, and I have a feeling the wired experience won't be that huge jump in performance.

Second, the adventure mode while completely new, in short doses can be fun but overall is frustrating especially if you decide to play with a friend, and I have a huuuge beef with how zoomed in camera is in this mode, so much so you can't see anything going on, but while in melee every character (excluding GIANT TVs) everyone is the size of an ant because the camera stays so far out on every map.

So even newest features are a serious flop and even the change out in characters and other minor adjustments only make this game a glorified full price expansion pack to the SSB: Melee experience. Not worth it, unless your a hardcore fan. Save yourself the from the disappointment of lack luster addition to this series, skip this title.

Wii Time Fun

Good day everyone who happens to be a wii fan. Today's post is just for you. I was out this weekend with some friends at a local music festival and walking to the gate we happened to see this truck (picture to the left in case you didn't see it some how. parked out there.

Pretty cool huh? Apparently that truck is officially licensed because inside the event there was a wii entertainment trailer set up to promote the wii even more. Yay, Nintendo. I'm going to assume that's the truck that hauls the trailer around from event to event around the country or at least the south.

In other wii news, be sure you take a break when playing the wii because apparently there is a new medical condition that comes from the soreness from little breaks, no stretching and over playing. Wiiitis. Yeah real technical sounding *cough cough*, but I wouldn't recommend going to the doctor about it, he'll only prescribe over the counter pain killers and recommend you avoid wii play for a week....like I need a doctor to figure that one out for me.

Have a Stroke, Play with Wii

Apparently the wii is great recovery tool for stroke patients. It's easy to see why though with all the interactivity. A wii is used at Riley Hospital for just this use.

"Mom, I think I need to stay home from school today and play my wii. I had a stroke last night to recover from."
