The 2008 Wii List

Posted on Saturday, February 2nd, 2008, at 12:32 AM

Well I said I could do better than last time, so here’s my attempt. Without further ado:

I’m a little worried about my bank account this spring, because there are a bunch of killer-looking Wii games slated for release, and on top of that, I still haven’t picked up Zack & Wiki.

The January Post

Posted on Monday, January 21st, 2008, at 10:06 AM

So another year has passed me by, and the season has come in which bloggers traditionally put out roundups and resolutions, the former taking the shape of so many Best Ofs, Top Tens, or Eponymous Awards, and the latter mostly the same but written in an optimistic future tense. I’ll probably also be putting out my own tribute to the milestones of 2007 …

My Kingdom for a Wii

Posted on Thursday, November 30th, 2006, at 10:17 PM

So, I still don’t have a Wii. Which means it’s been a rough week and a half for me, watching a constant stream of Wii news and reviews roll in without being able to experience it for myself. I’ve got to get my hands on a Wii!

My condition is certainly not due to lack of trying. The night of the launch …

The Final Countdown

Posted on Monday, November 6th, 2006, at 4:58 PM

I swear I didn’t intentionally start this string of post titles just so I could use this last one—but it worked out nicely, didn’t it? Here are parts one and two for reference.

Ah, the proverbial “Quirky Japanese” genre of games. Some of my all-time favorites have come from it! But …
