My hubby got me a Wii as a graduation gift, and we love it! We play tennis, box, and bowl as a family. I've recently been enjoying Paper Mario and am looking for another fun game. Any suggestions?

I can't recommend a game, because I haven't played. But, is it true that you can get a really good workout...from a video game?

I've heard you can too. I don't know any games either other than the ones that come with the game, and that's only b/c I was with one of my friends on Christmas night. It does sound like a lot of fun though.

Dr. M --

I *love* Trauma Center: Second Opinion for Wii. You're a rookie surgeon in this game, and you have to perform surgeries on patients. It sounds a little disturbing, I know, but it's lots of fun.

You need great hand/eye coordination in this game. There are lots of little, delicate movements you need to make with the controller to "save" your patients.

It's probably more for teens and adults than it is for small children -- in part due to the whole surgery aspect, in part due to vocabulary (at one point, you have to removes nodules from a singer's larynx).

Here's a link to a review of the game...

WE still can't find a WII!!!

love of my life has even gone to the mall looking for one and he never, ever goes to the mall! he says it's almost as bad as having to buy girlie products...but he went. everyone is still out of them!

if anyone hears of someone having one in stock, please, please let me know. i think this is something we can all do together. always looking for togetherness...

Seriously, people are STILL out of them? I'll definitely be on the look-out. Have you tried online?

yep, it seems the only thing you can find online are bundles and we are NOT spending $500-$700 for a video game set, regardless of how much fun it is!!!
