Wii Fit Plus

I just got the Wii Fit Plus for Christmas from Steve! I am super excited about it. I’ve only been able to spend much time on it on three or four separate occassions so far. It’s tough when I’m here by myself because Noah constantly wants to stand on the balance board and won’t let me play properly!
But so far I’ve done a little bit of everything. I tried the Yoga for the first time the other night and it actually wasn’t too awful. I’m not into Yoga but some of the moves were easier than I thought. I kinda felt like “why am I even doing this..? I can’t be getting anything out of it”, but then after holding the positions for a good 30 seconds it does get more challenging.
I really like the “Plus” games that are apparently not on the normal Wii Fit. There is an obstacle course that I’ve tried three times now and still haven’t completed. There are lots of balance games I enjoy and a snowball fight that I’m pretty good at.
It’s a pretty fun game to play and helps me relieve a little stress and burn a few calories in the process. I’d really recommend it for anyone who isn’t so into working out and breaking a huge sweat. I can do the game for 30-40 minutes and depending on which things I do, I can burn a lot of calories and not work up an actual hard sweat to where I’m drenched and smelly. It’s just enough! I’m likin’ it!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

I will admit that I was not a First Person Shooter fan for consoles but after making this purchase I am now. I have played a few hours of campaign mode, and a few more hours of CO-OP mode. I don’t have a ton of time to game now days but when I do get time to play this is what I have been loading into my PS3. The graphics are fantastic, the battles are intense, and the controls are much better than I remember them for a console.

Historically I didn’t care to play any FPS on a console but now that I have played COD:MW2 I will most likely try again real soon. I have heard the online play is the best part and I will hopefully have some time to try that out soon as well.

New Super Mario Brothers Wii

In short this game is probably one of the best I have purchased in the past several years.  The reason it is so great is because it takes me back to many years of playing the Mario Franchise of games.  This mixes all the best elements of mario  brothers and rolls into into one 4 player simultaneous game that is outstanding.  This is one game that I can play with my wife and she enjoys.

The controls are reminiscent of the old NES style controller with only a D-Pad and A/B Buttons plus a few new features that include shaking the wii-mote.   As of this posting A group of 4 of has has collectively played through the first 3 worlds and we spent about 4 hours playing and enjoying the game.  I am sure it could be played through much quicker but we were having a lot of fun. I have included a link below for the game at amazon.com for $49.99 with free super saver shipping.
