Top Five Wii Games as of February 2007

5. Wii Sports - For a game that came free with the system, Wii Sports is pretty good. Good enough for the top five? You know it. It comes with tennis, boxing, golf, and bowling and most people will find an interest in at least one of those. It's also a good introduction to the use of the wiimote and is overall just plain fun, especially when you and your friends have nothing better to do. Hey, let's have a boxing tournament!

4. Elebits - Good game play, okay story, and very good on using the wiimote to do various things. It really utilizes the full functionality of the wiimote and provides a sandbox-like environment in which you can manipulate almost all of the objects in the levels. You could say it's akin to Katamari Damacy in that it's a weird, but fun, Japanese game. It also comes with a level building and multiplayer, which is always a plus.

3. Madden 2007 - Now, I'm not really an avid sport game fan, but Madden 2007 really plugs players into the game. Blocking, throwing, jumping, running, catching, and juking all require you to wave or move the wiimote in some way, which drags your mind into the game, and that's what a game is all about. The added level of interaction reinvigorates a genre that's been suffering from old worn out game play thats only improvement have been on graphics.

2. WarioWare: Smooth Moves - If you're suffering from ADHD, a frequent user of cocaine, or looking for a game that gets you moving and thinking, then this game is for you. Whether it's tuning a guitar, swatting a fly, forking a steak, or cutting a piece of wood in half, you're in for a fast paced, near non-stop ride of mini-game after mini-game. Not only are most of the games fun, but there are over 10 different ways to hold the wiimote, depending on what mini-game you're playing, and over 200 mini-games. It also has a multiplayer mode where up to 12 people can play, is nice.

1. The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess - Of course you saw this coming, it's expected. I'm not a die hard 'Zeldz0r is teh best!' man, so I'm not bullshitting you when I say this is the best game for the Wii. If you loved Ocarina of Time, you'll love this. It is, for me at least, the best Zelda game, Ocarina being a close second. As a starting point, it's another Zelda game, so you know what to expect, but I really enjoyed the use of the wiimote into the game, which is why I put it above Ocarina. Link doesn't emulate your moves when attacking, it's a generalized attack but it's fun to do, at least more interesting than sitting there pressing B. The storyline is compelling and references many of the previous games, which makes me happy in my pants. Oh Link... You're so... Courageous.
