Mario Kart Wii (wii)

The next generation version of Mario Kart doesn't disappoint. You actually steer the Wii remote to steer. It comes with a steering wheel. It has courses from Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart Super Circuit (GBA) Mario Kart Double Dash (GCN) Mario Kart DS plus new tracks. You can choose between motorcycles and the standard kart. The characters haven't really changed. All this adds up to one of the most next-gen Mario games. Rainbow Road is a tough course here.
Bottom line: this is a great game period. Grade: A+

Mario And Sonic At The Olympic games (wii ds)

Two video game heroes go head to head in this game. You can pick from Nintendo characters or Sonic characters. You use the Wii remote a lot in this game. You can do gymnastics, track and field, fencing, table tennis and there are dream events as well. This is the official video game of the Bejing Olympics. This is a good pick up and play game. And trust me this is a tiring game. Who's team are you on?
Bottom Line: Why would you not want a game with Mario and Sonic on the cover? Grade: A-

note: I played this game for Wii, the DS may be different.

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Just like other Mario games, you have to go through levels to rescue Princess Peach. However in this one, you have to explore different galaxies to gather Power Stars. This game has returning enemies from Super Mario Sunshine (for Gamecube). The graphics are good and the game is fairly simple to learn. You shake the Wii remote to spin enemies. You can also play as Luigi after you make it to the midway point in the game. The Toads appear as well, as the Toad Brigade. Their ship is shaped like a mushroom, which makes sense. This is one of the better Mario games and is worth buying if you have a Wii.
Bottom Line: This game is fairly easy to get hooked on. Grade: A-

Montreal

As a grade 6 graduation trip, all the sixth graders went to Montreal. The bus ride took about five hours but for entertainment, you didn't have to look too far. There were movies, and you could bring your own stuff. When we rolled into Montreal, we headed for Pointe a Calliere, a museum based on Montreals history. There we took a guided tour of the place and managed to catch a movie based on what we learned. From there we drove to our hotel, a Holliday Inn. We spent about 30 minutes in our room before going out for dinner. We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe then departed to a meeting spot for our guided tour of old Montreal. We spent about two hours seeing the sights before we made it back to the hotel. The next day we got up at 6:30 AM (ugh) and headed down to the breakfast room. After a hearty meal, we headed out to Laval and went to a space camp. There you got to try out different simulators like there was one that simulated working in zero gravity. You also got to learn a bit about physics and the properties of the space shuttle. We then went to eat lunch at a mall close by and got a bit of shopping time. After that, it was off to Mount Royal to get a good look of the city. From there, we went out into a Montreal suburb to attend a circus school. There were different activities there like trapeze, trampoline, tightrope (not 50 feet in the air of course) and silk to climb on. What trip to Montreal is complete without smoked meat? Well, that is exactly what we had for dinner that day. After that it was off to Champion Lanes for some bowling. I did okay. From there it was off to the hotel for the night. Next morning they actually let us sleep in a little but I still had to drag myself out of bed for 7:15. From breakfast It was off to the Biodome. With five reconstructed habitats in it, from the tropical rainforest to Antarctica, it really was a sight to see (for me it was my second time there) From there, we loaded the bus and headed home. I returned with a necklace from the Hard Rock Cafe, a pen from space camp and a stuffed hedgehog from the Biodome. So there it is... my trip

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

This game is one of the most addicting games I have ever played. It is a game that is all about fighting, but not in a very violent sort of way. For single player you can go Classic, in it you pick a character and fight other characters in single combat. There are some rounds where you face multiple foes but most of the time you have an ally to help you out. You can also do Adventure mode where you fight through levels to beat it. Or you can grab a friend and do regular brawls, where you go head to head with your friends. Up to four people can play at once. There is also online play where you play against strangers. This game is also very easy to learn. All you need is one round to get the hang of it. This game doesn't disappoint, get it now!!
Bottom Line: I loved this game. You can play it for hours and not get bored of it. Grade: A
