Ah, okay. Didn't realize you compiled this list by hand.

While I have no problem with Mecury Meltdown Revolution placing 19th, I think Wii owners should give it a 2nd look. This game is well worth the $20 budget price.
And Super Mario Galaxy really is all that and a bag of Doritos.
I like Mercury Meltdown Revolution, but I also never owned any previous Mercury release. It's probably not selling because it's a port of a port of a remake. Plus it didn't exactly burn up the charts on PSP or PS2 either. Still, it is a pretty good game, and the Wii version is the one to get if you don't have it in any form.

By the way, I updated the top 25 list in my first post. I added Geometry Wars: Galaxies, Medal of Honor Heroes 2, and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
Soulcalibur Legends was just released, but doesn't seem very good according to the reviews so far.

I'm surprised MoH Heroes 2 didn't get a little bit higher average - it's a great game, and a well rounded package.
Soulcalibur Legends seems to be just an average game. Its overall rating is 5.5. I'm sure some people will like it, but most people probably won't.
Medal of Honor Heroes 2 received an overall rating of 7.9, which is very good! The online mode is supposedly excellent.
By the way, I've updated the original post and added a list of the 15 worst Wii games. I figure it'd be helpful to fellow gamers to have both lists. Buy the best games and avoid the garbage.
It is amazing to me that there are any games, much less four, listed below Chicken Shoot.
Is that based on the movie? I've never seen it in stores.
And to get a little off topic, the movie's actually not that bad. It was written and directed by people from Reno 911, so if you like that style of humor, you'd probably like the movie.
Anyway, I actually have Far Cry and didn't think it was too bad until I got pretty far in the game and it got super cheap by planting snipers that you can barely see (much less shoot at given the wonky controls) every fifteen feet or so.
Yeah, it's based on the Balls of Fury movie. I haven't seen it, but I saw the Reno 911 movie in a theater. It was decent...definitely better than The Ten, which I also saw in a theater.
Anyway, Rockstar Table Tennis seems to be a much better ping pong game for the Wii.
UPDATE: I've expanded the worst Wii games list to 20. I've also discovered a Wii game even worse than Balls of Fury. It's called Billy the Wizard. Has anyone played it?

Damn it! I just grabbed Ninjabread Man the other day. It looked quirky and I'm usually all over the quirk. Has anyone here played it? I'm just wanting to know If I should return it and grab something else or stick with it cause the reviews are harsh. Did a google search and the reviews I am finding are not very helpful. They all pretty much say "It sucks!" and skirt around the why n' hows, other than game length. Apparently you can go through start to finish in just over an hour and 25% of that is tutorial. Unless the levels are randomly generated each time you play I can't see this having any legs that the gingerbread-kin are known for. WTF?

Who else is looking forward to No More Heroes? I like the stylized graphics and the game looks like it'll be fun:

Regarding the top 25 list in the original post, I expect Super Smash Bros. Brawl to be in the top ten once it's released in February.
