It's fun to see such an old shows on DVD but if you are more of a Nancy Drew fan that a Hardy Boy fan you will be a little disappointed; there are way more episodes with the Hardy Boys than Nancy Drew.
What's great about it: Different kinds of mysteries.

I really love this game. First of all, it not only features the usual single player and competitive multiplayer mode, it also has a multiplayer co-op mode which is really fun, and fairly unique as far as Wii games go. This game is great because it features both action and thinking. Also, some of games are really fast paced where you try to blow things up as quickly as possible while for others you are carefully and slowly easing out blox to avoid toppling any of the others. There’s something for everyone, I highly recommend this game!
What's great about it: Lots of variety, lots of fun.

I have never played any games from the Prince of Persia series, so I don't know how it stacks up against the others, but I thought this was a pretty good game. The story and characters are OK(ish), the graphics are better than I would have expected, and the overall game play is fun. My primary complaint is that the controls don't always work/respond well. I got this game on sale for $10, so I think it was a great deal!
What's great about it: A pretty good game overall
What's not so great: Controls don't always work very well.
Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

This is definitely the best multiplayer game for the Wii. There are lots of fun, different courses, plenty of different karts and bikes, and lots of characters (it's great that you can play as your Mii). It's easy to pick up and play for first time players who will get help through better items if they fall behind. It is also a challenge for more experienced players. The multiplayer, both online and local, is the true strength of this game though; it's really great! A must-have game for the Wii!
What's great about it: Really fun to play with friends and family plus it has great online play.

This game does have a lot of variety and you're sure to find at least one sport that you like. I do think they cheat a bit though, when they say there are 10 sports because even thought the cart racing and dirt bike racing are separate, they seem pretty similar to me. It does get boring after a little while on your own, but it is kind of fun to play with family and friends (although not nearly as much fun as, say, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games). However, overall it is a good deal and relatively fun to play.
What's great about it: A few of the sports are quite fun.
What's not so great: A few of the sports are quite boring and the controls don't seem to work very well.

Before "Twilight Princess", the only other Zelda game I had played was the original one on my old GBA. I didn't really like that game too much so I wasn't very sure about this one when I first got it, but now I absolutely love it! It's really fun to swing your Wii remote like a sword, even if it does tend to turn into random, violent shaking after a while. I thought the graphics were amazing (far better than I would have expected), the storyline was fine, and the fact that you get to play as a wolf was really fun. Also, there are plenty of side quests so you can make this game last quite a while if you want to. My only complaint is that I had expected it to be a little more challenging, but other than that this is a really great game. Definitely worth it!
What's great about it: Everything, but especially the great graphics

I was really excited to get this game since it uses the Wii balance board and as far as that goes, the controls work fine, as soon as you figure out what it is you’re supposed to do; I found it to be unclear at times. Also, there simply wasn't as much game play as I would have liked. Overall, though, a good deal for only $30.
What's great about it: Uses the Wii Balance Board
What's not so great: Directions unclear, not as much to do as I would like.

Mimic Sonic's unending energy and mind-bending movements, as well as performing your own dizzying motions, against vibrant Persian backdrops with your Wii Remote.

I have to start by saying that I've never played a Sonic game before so I don't know if it's good or bad compared to other games in the series. The adventure mode was fun, and could be challenging at times. The story wasn't the best, but I've seen worse. I have to admit my favorite part is the party mode. I do have Mario Party 8, which is a better game, it's true, but these mini games are still fun to play for a change. The fact that the directions can be unclear is annoying, but it can be fun to see people begin to figure them out as they go along. Overall a fun game a great deal for price.
What's great about it: I love the party mode with the mini games
What's not so great: Some of the mini games don't have very good directions.
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.

This is definitely one of the best Wii games so far. It has a challenging, good single player mode; my only complaint is that you HAVE to play the single player mode to unlock all of the characters. The multiplayer mode is the strength of this game; it’s really great, tons of fun to play with friends. Sadly, the online multiplayer is kind of pointless and not much fun. There are also some other mini games and challenges for one or more players. The control overall do occasionally turn into random button mashing, but the key is to become a better random button masher than anyone else. Overall a great game, definitely a must-have game for the Wii.
What's great about it: Good single player story mode and great multiplayer mode.
What's not so great: Online multiplayer is no fun.
