A Year of Wii : The Simpsons Game (May)

This week we rented the fun “The Simpsons Game” for the Wii.  (I say “we”, but really I rented it.   Sarah never had anything to do with this one, either in the renting or the playing.) You get to play with the four main Simpsons family members, who each have their own fun special […]

A Year of Wii : Marble Saga Kororinpa (April)

A Year of Wii : New Super Mario Bros Wii (January)

Last year, we bought a set of 12 Hollywood Video rental coupons on eBay — one rental per month for about $1.50 apiece. While some games were better than others, we really enjoyed being able to go out and get a new Wii game every month without breaking the bank. I kept meaning to write […]
