Some of the puzzles have exploding blocks or disappearing blocks. You can compete against each other or work together or do story mode by yourself. We had a lot of fun with it this weekend and are seriously thinking of purchasing it too!

Ooooooh... I want this game.
let me know how you feel two days from now.
GD was talking about it too.

Wii Fit chastises me when I don't use it for a few days.

The soccer game is kicking my butt. Not tiring wise, but score wise. Either I'm overcompensating when I move or my balance must really suck. I miss and get hit with the other objects.

On the skiing, how do you move faster?

[Ponine]

Make sure on the skiing games that your center of balance is , well, centered.

On the ski jump one, you have to be in the yellow. As long as you are, you gain speed.

Boom Blocks is still a lot of fun. The puzzles get harder, obviously, but it's a thinking and aiming game and I like that. I still have more to unlock but I'm having fun with it.

It's amazing to me that the boy is doing well too, better than me actually. Considering he does think it out and try to figure what's the best move. He just goes willy nilly and makes some amazing shots! I just don't get it. It's like watching him Wii bowl, he literally winds up and throws crazy but the ball goes straight! One little wrist move and my ball goes crazy!

Cherny, I hate soccer too. I get hit with more cleats than balls sometimes! I think I have bad reactions or maybe my feet don't go where my head does?!

In skiing make sure you watch the center of gravity sclae in the top right and lean forward to get more speed but make sure your still centered.

[BarTopDancer]

My center of gravity doesn't exist.

Ok, I didn't know about the scale. I'll have to look for that.

I've been playing Guitar Hero II next door with my friend Cam and his girlfriend. I think I am addicted. I have the song Cliffs of Dover in my head...
Talk about a genre of music I kinda ignored and maybe shouldn't have totally... but the classic rock tunes I remember are wonderful.

I blame Nephy for this one. Ms. Rock Mama at a party at Morrigoon's made it look like so much fun.

Tori got a Wii Fitness yesterday, and it was the hit of her party. Lots of fun, although my balance sucks so I may never get anywhere with it.

Keep trying Wendy, you can do it! Stay away from the tightrope then. I can only make it 10 feet.


I'm actually pretty bad at balancing too and some want you to do it on one foot . The boy gets a kick out of Mom trying to be balanced and it swings everywhere! There are some fun ones on there too.

[BarTopDancer]

My balance totally sucks. I'm actually actively working on improving it through posture and how I sit. Yoga really helps with it too. My muscle tone is horrible which makes my balance off. My balance has always been off and I've just learned to compensate.

On another note,

Rockband Wii came out yesterday. But it's a completely stripped down version from the PS Rockband. No online support, no online downloads. A disk will be released with more songs, but the word on the street is to wait. Either get GH IV this winter or hold out until they upgrade Rockband.

I hear there's a Guitar Hero coming out starring Aerosmith. (I wonder if madmonkeygirl knows...)
