Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy is a pretty different game, to me anyway. You are on a little "planet" (as Mario) walking around trying to unlock other galaxies and to help save Princess Peach's castle, because it was taken from where it was on Earth. The game keeps going and going, but in each little galaxy, there are a bunch of different levels. You can also eventually unlock Luigi in this game, and you can unlock a few other options too. Very fun and time consuming game.

Mario Power Tennis (Wii)

Wow, if you want a major workout for your ARM, this is definately one of the games for you. It's just a regular tennis game, but you are swinging the remote to get the ball to the other side. You get to choose your character, just like any other game, and I believe each character has their own stats, just like the older games. And if you want to run back and forth for a little more exercise, by all means, do it. It's actually a pretty good workout on a Mario game!

Diner Dash (DS)

Diner Dash is just like the original PC game! I absolutely LOVE it, and i don't know why. It's just addictive. All you are doing is placing the people at certain tables (and make sure you can match the colors of the people as much as possible for more points), take orders, take the orders to the tables, give deserts, and just make sure the customers are happy. Pretty simple right? The more points, the better (of course). You get to choose decorations for the places too, because most of the places you start off at (diners) are run down. I really enjoy this game, although it's repetitive. Very fun :)

My Chinese Coach (DS)

So this game is pretty much the title. It COACHES you to learn another language. There are many other versions of this, like My Spanich Coach, My French Coach, etc. I chose this game in particular because I am half Chinese and would like to learn a little of the language. It has many little mini games that you can practice with, like reading games and writing. It also allows you to speak into the microphone which is on the DS to practice talking the language as well. I think these kind of games are very good because you get to play games and learn something at the same time.

Super Mario 64 (DS)

I absolutely LOVE this game. It is just like the Super Mario 64 game off of the Nintendo 64, but with a few extra characters. This game has not only Mario, but Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi. You start off as Yoshi and you go throughout a few of the levels of certain worlds to keep unlocking more worlds and of course to unlock the other characters. You also chase around little rabbits to gain access to mini games which is also included in the Super Mario 64 game for the DS. This game is loads of fun, and a little different, so if you liked the Super Mario 64 on the N64, then this game will be perfect for you!

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? (Wii)

Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader is based on the television game show. You get to choose the student who will help you with a question if you seem to be stumped, and you get to choose your categories just like the in the game show. Obviously, you would choose the category that you think will be the easiest for you to answer! Example? An organism that lives off of and benefits another organism is... mutualistic. Yeah, I would definately NOT know that, just because I dont remember everything from when I was in the 5th grade!! I really do like this game, it can sometimes make you feel stupid because you can't remember everything, but it's funny. Great game :)

Super Paper Mario for the Wii

Super Paper Mario is an advernture game where you can flip back and forth from 2D to 3D. There's a team of four which includes Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser, and some little Pixels, which go around deafeating the enemies to gain access to 8 "Pure Hearts." You have to collect them to defeat this one character that is turning the whole world into nothing but blackness because he is taking over. The game has alot of "talking," but it's really fun if that's the kind of game you are into. You have to know what you are doing and have patience for a game like this and you have to LIKE games like this or else this is not the one for you!
