Recommend us some Wii games.

One quick point about the LEGO series; if you want to play with 2 players at the same time, you'll need 2 nunchucks.

Got that covered. How are the zappers? We were thinking that could be our next addition.

I have to admit ignorance here - no idea what "zappers" are...

As an aside, we just picked up LEGO Indiana Jones and it's even better (IMHO) than Batman. I seems to be far more challenging than Batman was. Again, great fun!!

Zappers are the 'gun' shells for the remotes. LEGO Indiana Jones does sound like fun. We also ended up with a used copy of ACME Weapons/Loony Tunes which is okay as a co-op.

Cool; thanks for the FYI.

I own Mario Kart and it is a lot of fun. I've played it against my niece and god-daughters. Wii Sports is fun (comes with the system). Lego Indiana Jones was lots of fun. I rented that a couple of months ago. Tiger Woods golf is good as well. I own Pitfall and Sims: Castaway. My wife loves Sims. I haven't tried that yet nor Pitfall. Raving Rabbids II is kind of fun. It is a bunch of mini games. Some are fun and others not as much. I also own the Wii Fit. Those games are lots of fun. Great for parties. Everyone wants to try to do better than the others.

Is that like Pitfall from the old Atari days? I used to love that game. I haven't seen it around. Sports was cool until my dog stepped on it and now it won't load. We are going to have to get a fit eventually. Thanks for the advice.

I'll let you know what Pitfall is like. I'll likely try it sometime this week. It is supposed to be a modern update to the Atari classic (which I loved). The Wii fit has a mixture of things on it. Yoga, step aerobics, strength training (not sure how that works yet), and balance games. The balance games are my favorite. My wife has done some of the yoga. I tried a few but I'm a bit out of shape and my flexibility isn't what it used to be. I guess that sometime happens when you are in your late 40's.

I want to stop by my local Circuit City to see if they have any games left. If there are any decent ones at a good price I'll pick up a few. I usually check various websites for reviews like gamespot.com and gamepro.com before I buy anything.

We got a Wii for Christmas and we've enjoyed sport, play and sonic/mario olympics. We've had fun playing with the kids. However, my wife and I had hoped to find some good two player cooperative adventure games. Ones where you can play working together using two characters at the same time. We enjoyed the Pirates of the Carb., but the lack of a two player option was frustrating. The best thing we've found so far for our needs was Kung Fu Panda. Isn't there something more adult out there?

I found resident evil 4 an outstanding adult game for the wii. No two-player option, but almost as much fun to watch as it is to play.

Hasbro Family Game Night is pretty nice if you like battleship, connect four, yahtzee, and sorry.
