We were at a local GameStop. I had enough trade in value to buy everybody a game. I picked up Tekken 6 + special controller, Henry picked Mario & Sonic Olympic Winter Games for DS, Maggie picked My Sims Party for DS, and GamerMom? Her first chance to just BUY a game.

Game Review: Wii Fit Plus (Wii)
Posted on November 17th, 2009 by
I was late to the Wii Fit party. I had heard about the peripheral, but my enjoyment of casual games didn’t quite draw me in. Fast forward six months after the game released, and I had read enough raving reviews (here and elsewhere) about the fun and exercise that can be had with the Wii Fit. Proof of its popularity, even six months after its release it was still hard to find a copy of the game. After a month of shopping around I bought a copy and haven’t looked back. Nintendo knows when they have a good title on their hands, and has recently released an update to the original Wii Fit that expands gamer options.

Borderlands

Recently I popped in the PS3 version of Borderlands. I spent a little while in Pandora, which is where your mercenary foursome are treasure hunting. Lets see, Borderlands is post-apocalyptic science fiction mostly about survival. Players, up to four, can play together to accomplish goals in a RPG meets arcade action kind of way. Is it offensive? Does the M-rating fit? 15-year olds want to know!
