Super Smash Bros Brawl For Wii

Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii is plain and simply -  FUN! Every age loves it, from 5-80. And it crosses the gender lines, so its the perfect game to invest in. OK, so some may ask why I recommend this for young players, when its rated Teen. It has all your favorite Nintendo characters in various fight scenes. This isn’t the kind of violence you’d see in a Teen rated single person shooter like 007 Quantum of Solace, so why these two games are rated the same is beyond me!

No, this is a ‘closer-to Mature’ Teen rating, with blood, lots of violence and fight scenes, and language that you probably don’t want your 12 year-old listening to. And, just to drive this point home, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Xmen Wolverine are rated Mature.

Wii Playground Review

Playground is set in an elementary school playground during recess. The games you can play include Dodgeball, Tetherball, Wall Ball, Kicks, Slot Car Racing, Paper Racers, and Dart Shootout. When you’re on the playground, you’ll meet the Sticker King – a kid who gives you stickers for your marbles. You can win marbles and trade them in with the Sticker King for stickers.

After you collect enough stickers and Golden Stickers you can unlock other areas of the playground. It’s a fun concept and reward system built into the game.

Here is a look at some of the mini games you’ll need to do well at to earn your Golden Stickers! Read More …
