    The local EB has new copies of the PS2 version Killer 7 for $10.

    For those games on your watchlist, I wouldn't hold out too much hope for Samurai Warriors Katana, since it's basically a FPS version of Dynasty Warriors. Unless the formula is radically changed, those games have been getting bad-to-average reviews for the past couple of years.

    Asterix at the Olympic Games? Oy. So we need two cartoony collections of olympic-themed minigames? I don't expect this to do to well either.

    I expect No More Heroes to be rated highly unless it's really screwed up. There's a lack of mature and free-roaming games on the Wii (excepting the ports of existing ones form last gen like Scarface) and given the pedigree, I'm sure the fanboys out there will be gushing about it.

    Nitrobike looks kind of generic, but there's a lack of good racing games on the Wii, and if it uses a control style similar to Excite Truck, it might do well.

    The first Dynasty Warriors was fun, but after that it got so repetive that to me, it was like "Oh no another one"

    I just added No More Heroes to the Top 30 Wii Games list in the original post. Who else is buying it tomorrow?

    Based on reviews so far, it seems like Samurai Warriors Katana and Nitrobike turned out to be average. However, Super Swing Golf Season 2 and Endless Ocean turned out to be quite good...almost good enough to make it on the list.

    No More Heroes just bumped Metal Slug Anthology off the list! Right now, it would be ranked number 31.

    Speaking of GT Pro Series, it was just bumped off the worst Wii games list by Ultimate Board Game Collection.

    There's a $5 off coupon for any Wii game at EB's website, but I think it's for online orders only.

    I'll probably end up picking up NMH sometime this week. It's nice to see a new Wii game that's not a mini-game collection or recycled content from other systems. Plus I'm a sandbox game geek, and I really like the visual style of this...

    I finally get to use my 2 year old EBGames/GS gift card.

    Yes, it is.

    And that EB card might not be worth anything. I know a lot of store gift cards will start deducting a monthly "serivce charge" if they haven't been used within a year.

    I want to buy No More Heroes, but I just bought Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure at Best Buy for $29.99 instead. I couldn't resist. While I was there, I bought Endless Ocean for $29.99 as well.

    I'll post my impressions within the next few days, but based on its reviews, I'd say go to Best Buy and buy Zack & Wiki while it's cheap:

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1188561459815

    You can even check the in-store availability so you don't waste a trip.


    Actually, I just checked Amazon.com and the price is $29.99 there, too:

    http://www.amazon.com/Zack-Wiki-Ques...1146618&sr=8-1


    The price must've just been lowered today because yesterday it was $39.99 on both web sites.

    Great! I still have to buy it, but I will, I promise. Right now, I'm working on beating Zack & Wiki.

    I just updated both lists in the original post.


    I added two games to the top Wii games list:

    Bully: Scholarship Edition
    Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    Both games are off to a strong start, but I'm sure they'll shift around the list as more reviews are published.


    I added twelve games to the worst Wii games list:

    Jumper: Griffin's Story
    Kawasaki Jet Ski
    Kidz Sports Ice Hockey
    Kidz Sports International Soccer
    King of Clubs
    London Taxi: Rush Hour
    Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom
    Myth Makers: Super Kart GP
    Pimp My Ride
    Rig Racer 2
    Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure
    WWII Aces

    More wastes of money.

    I added another game to the list of the worst Wii games in the original post:

    Classic British Motor Racing


    I'm also watching these potentially highly rated games:

    Go, Diego, Go! Safari Rescue (I know, I know...but it's receiving good scores so far)
    House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
    Opoona
    Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection
    Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
    Sega Superstars Tennis

    We'll see if they make the top list as more reviews are published.

    I have Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection and it's fun, especially for $30.
