    Great news. I actually never played Baseball Stars back in the day...but am a HUGE baseball fan, so can't wait to see what all the hype is about!

      • Cybernator (SNES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): As near as we can tell, Cybernator is a 2D giant robot game, except the robot is dude-sized, which kind of defeats the purpose. Also: In Japan, this game is known as Assault Suits Valken, which is a much, much better title.
      • Monster Lair (TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Monster Lair is the third game in the Wonder Boy series, even though you likely won't find that written anywhere when you go to buy it. You may remember that we got The Dynastic Hero a couple of weeks ago, which is the fifth game in that same series. (We knew all this off the top of our heads, by the way. Don't even act like we checked Wikipedia.)
      • Alien Storm (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): There are some things you grow less afraid of as you grow older, and then there are things you can only truly fear when you're an adult. The monsters in Alien Storm are just such creatures. Click that link, see if we're kidding. Those creatures are awful. They're like big hulking piles of face meat and scream lumps. Also: This is a game.

          Yeah, I had forgotten about Eternal Champions. My friends and I loved that on Genesis. I forget what "unique" things that game had. I think there were cool stage fatality type things, and individual fatalities that were different.

              I heard Blades is coming New Year's Eve in honor of the New Year's NHL game.

                  Blades of Steel (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): What, are you joking? It's Blades of Steel. Though maybe not the greatest hockey game ever made, it's at least the raddest. There are two team colors, there's fighting, what more could you need?

                  Rolling Thunder 2 (Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Rolling Thunder 2 is sort of like a prettier N.A.R.C., except with a sexy lady cop. Except it has much better graphics and soundtrack. And there are no drugs. And no one explodes. OK, so it's nothing like N.A.R.C. besides the fact that they're both side-scrolling shooters. But at least it looks like a lot of fun.

                  Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (Super NES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): "Hey Phil, we need to make another DKC game. What Kongs do we have left?"
                  "Well, there's Falco Kong, the Euro rocker with the heart of gold."
                  "I'm pretty sure you just made him up."
                  "OK ... how about Dixie and that creepy baby?"

                      All I have to say is I thought the Wii was a stupid console. I mean who uses their hands like that. That was until I played it yesterday at my nephews house. I am hooked. That was the most fun I have ever had with a game console. We played tennis, bowling and then I knocked his *** out with boxing. Now I am going to try to see if I can find a Wii. I just bought a PS3, but now I wish I bought a Wii. lol

                        I say do it.....there's no way you wouldn't like Mario Galaxy...and then even if there isn't much else for you, the Wii Bowling and party games are great for having friends and family over.

                              I havent played mine much but the consensus seems to be Zelda and Carnival Games are good games to get.
