FlingSmash is the new Wii Play (with a meatier game)
After selling an unthinkable 28 million copies of Wii Play, Nintendo is ready to refresh the controller bonus game idea with the release of FlingSmash on Sunday. You already know about the bundled Wii Remote with “Motion Plus inside.” As for the included game, it’s like a side-scrolling Brickbreaker plus racquetball with a dash of pinball. It’s definitely more lasting than ...
Good game alert: Disney Guilty Party
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjeTkfMOWVg[/youtube] Recently featured on the new and improved Infendo Radio, the fam and I have been playing Disney Guilty Party, which is basically Mario Party + Clue, the board game.

Where would you rank Epic Yarn in the Kirby series?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R4IRFEBVVM[/youtube] Derek and I discussed this on last week’s podcast. Without completing the game, I’d say it’s the third best Kirby game ever.

This looks pretty freakin’ fun, oooooooh!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V28cfU8lCVc[/youtube] It’s like Just Dance with better dancing, music, and cooler graphics. Disclosure: I think MJ is a top 5 musician all time, right up there with Mozart, The Beatles, and Gwar. Okay, maybe not Gwar, but you get the idea.

Are you even remotely interested in Wii Party?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Ypun3bi9M[/youtube] Sorta feels like Wii Play with a $50 price tag. Am I wrong?
Remember how hard F-Zero GX was?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxZrMMdAR4[/youtube] Anyone complaining about the lack of difficult games recently obviously missed this discouraging hard GameCube game. After 15 attempts, I don’t think I ever made it past the second track. I haven’t picked it up since.
