Alisha Karabinus has been both writing and playing video games since she was very young. Sometimes she even does them both at the same time! She is a Castlevania nut, a college student, a hair dye fanatic, a killer cook, and she enjoys the occasional board game, too.
So the Wii is two years old now. Huzzah! But looking back, with everything you might have bought for your system (excluding games), do you feel like it was a bargain? It was the cheapest of this generation's home consoles, after all, and the bargain aspect was played up by a lot of people. At this point in time, do you feel like you got a good deal on your Wii? Even if you don't, was it/is it worth it?
It's well-established that most average gamers don't seem to think too much of Wii Music, but what about all the casual and irregular gamers in your life? Do they even know about Wii Music, and if so, what do they think of it? Heard anyone asking for it, or know anyone who's gone out to buy it? Nintendo seems to think the title has a lot of potential in the home stretch, and we want to try to measure that by what you've heard and seen.
So, with the holidays creeping up, and statements about expected stock, we thought it might be a good time to ask who you know that might be looking for a console this holiday season, and also, what your general predictions are about Wii sales this year. Now that it's been out for a while, will the holiday demand be quite so crazy? Particularly with the economy doing, uh, a little poorly, it seems sales might not be quite so robust this year, but stranger things have happened, particularly when it comes to the gaming industry.
Cooking Mama: World Kitchen is almost here, and that means the powers that be are working very hard to convince Wii owners that Mama is cute as ever, even if she's had a little work done. These latest screens do an excellent job of proving their point, with their adorable high fives and Mama poking herself in the eye. Guess those fleshed-out limbs take a little getting used to.Gallery: Cooking Mama World Kitchen

Shovelware is something that comes up a lot in discussions about the Wii's library. Some people think there's a lot of it, and some don't, but what we don't seem to spend a lot of time discussion is just exactly what shovelware is. Everyone seems to drawl the line in a different place. For some, it's easy to write off anything that doesn't look fantastic as simply shovelware, while others seem to turn their noses up at anything that is geared at a family audience. While it's often true that shovelware has poor graphics, or, when it comes to Wii gaming, it's an attempt to get a piece of that Everygamer market, shovelware's definition lies elsewhere. Let's find it.
If you're on the fence about whether or not to pick up the next Rock Band track pack, then these screens should help to assure you that everything is just like Rock Band, except with AC/DC. Does it look like $40? That probably depends on how you feel about the eighteen songs on the track list.
