Fun and Beneficial

This game is suprisingly fun, considering it's basically a series of IQ tests. The minigames are just as fun as Warioware, and you can actually feel yourself straining your brain to complete them. It's probably not going to make anyone a lot smarter, but it's still fun.
What's great about it: Entertaining minigames that build your brain

Very Mediocre
on July 28, 2008
Posted by: rva4592
This game was maybe worth playing when it came standard with PS3s, but I can't see anyone buying it on its own. The SIXAXIS controls are frustrating, and even playing with classic controls isn't that fun. The only redeeming quality is that it is one of the first games to showcase the PS3's great graphics, but that doesn't make it worth purchasing.
What's great about it: Good graphics
What's not so great: Poor controls, stale gameplay

Another Great Controller From Sony
on July 27, 2008
Posted by: rva4592
Sony's controller has had almost the exact same flawless design for three console generations. It has become even better now that it's wireless. The SIXAXIS doesn't really seem to be very useful right now but maybe games in the future will take advantage of it.
What's great about it: Best controller design ever
What's not so great: Should have came with original PS3
This movie is just plain entertaining. Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer are hilarious, and the plot is clever and unpredictable. People who loved Downey Jr. in Iron Man should definately go back and check out this movie.
They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

Amazing Game
on July 22, 2008
Posted by: rva4592
This is the best game on the Wii. It has great multiplayer action and even has some pretty good single player challanges. The only problem I've had is some lag in online play, but even without online gaming this would still be a must have for the Wii.
What's great about it: Endless multiplayer entertainment
Enjoy all of the tunes stored on your iPod with this excellent pair of earphones.

Good Enough

These headphones are good enough when included with an iPod, but on their own they might not be worth buying. The sound quality isn't that great and my ears start to hurt sometimes after listening for a while. However, I've had mine for about a year now and I haven't had any major problems. So if you're not too picky and want the iPod look, these will do just fine.
What's great about it: Classic iPod look
What's not so great: Mediocre sound, Can be uncomfortable
Any White Stripes fan will love this album. Someone who really liked the pop songs on Broken Boy Soldiers, though, may be a little disappointed by this CD. These songs sound much more like the White Stripes than before, but that's not a bad thing. Still a great album with a classic rock feel.
What's great about it: Great songs throughout
What's not so great: A little different from Broken Boy Soldiers
Stereo mini plug connects to your portable player's headphone output to channel-rich digital audio through your existing car stereo. Works with most portable CD and MD players.

Good Buy

Probably the best cheap solution to playing an iPod or MP3 player in the car. It's much easier to use and cheaper than an FM transmitter, the only downside being the sound quality. If you have a cassette player in your car and you want an easy way to play your music, this is definately the way to go.
