Wii Sports Review
Tennis, Baseball, and Bowling: All in One!Introducing the Nintendo Wii, this game was released with each package of the Wii sold. Now, is Nintendo known for its sports games? Of course not, but nonetheless, this game isn’t one of the “Madden” franchises we all know and love. Wii Sports brings family-fun back and Nintendo has constantly said they want the Wii to be a family-fun system. What has Nintendo made that makes this such a great game? Nintendo added five games: Boxing, Tennis, Golf, Bowling, and Baseball- all combined into one great game. You can use both the Wii-mote and Nunchuck for this game, but you will be using the Wii-mote for the majority. When in the main screen, you are given a choice of the five games to play, Wii Fitness, and Training. Personally, the Training is the most fun out of this game. Don’t get me wrong, I love playing the regular sports, but the Training is what I would be doing if I am playing.  I can do it Dad! You don’t have to teach me!As far as the regular games go, you are playing as if the pros were, but with your Mii. Yes, Wii Sports revolves around your Mii. They are finally making their debut in this game .You are not playing with star hitters, unless you consider yourself a star, which we all do, but with your Mii you created when you loaded up your Wii. These Mii's add spice to the game, because it’s like you are playing as your favorite baseball player or tennis player. You can even make players out of the Mii's for the corresponding sport. How fun would it be to see a Tennis player play Baseball? Yeah, that is so hardcore!! The other mode (which I undoubtfully enjoy) is the Training. It enables you to play what we would call “mini-games.” All five sports have three mini-games with it. Baseball, for example, is hitting home runs, while in Tennis you can return a serve. The mini-games are the best part of this game, because there are so many and you are not limited to only a few. Fifteen games do not seem like a lot, but once you play one, you’ll want to beat your old score or even your friends score! Wii Fitness is like your trainer. You’ll play three sports- Tennis (Which you serve the ball back to the other player fifty times), Baseball (In eight pitches, try to get a home run in each) and Bowling (Knock down as many pins as you can with five chances of not missing). After all that, it will score your fitness based on Endurance, Speed, and Balance. It will also calculate your “Wii-Age.” When I did it, my age was 35 “Wii-years”.  Will this be a home run?!Graphics are nice and crisp. I like playing this game because of how clean it is. When you swing at the ball, you actually hit it. You are always moving during Tennis and always pitching/hitting in baseball. The Graphics aren’t your “OMGZ, LIEK DIS IS UH-MAZING” kind, but more of a Nintendo style, meaning they’re nice and clean, but not a top-notch deal. The Graphics don’t bring this score down, though. The Sound they have for this game is awesome. When you hit the baseball, you hear the crack of it hitting the bat. When you’re moving on the court, you hear your feet moving when you are going for that tennis ball. You even hear the grunts of yourself when you hit that punching bag! Nintendo has finally found something that works, and the works of this game is awesome. Let’s close this review, shall we? The Graphics and Sound are awesome. You can make your own Mii and play as him in the game. The Gameplay is just pure enjoyment. I love every bit of it and I am positive you will too (Unless you are some bastard that no one likes). If you pick-up a Wii, you get this game for free! So why not head out and pick one up? Closing Comments Let’s close this review, shall we? The Graphics and Sound are awesome.

Call of Duty 5: World at War Preview
 Call of Duty 5 (subtitle confirmed as World at War) currently holds a love/hate relationship with fans of the series, mainly because the developer of the much-praised first-person shooter has been confirmed as Treyarch. Treyarch's other "big" games include Call of Duty 2: Big Red One and Call of Duty 3, both of which received heavy criticism. The setting of World at War has also been confirmed. It is to take place during World War II (please hold your groans), but this time in the Pacific Theatre (and possibly the Eastern front- meaning Germans vs. Russians... again). The Pacific Theatre is generally uncharted waters (pun very much intended), only being touched a handful of times, most notably by the Medal of Honor series in Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault (Electronic Arts). For the first time in the series, World at War will feature co-op gameplay, vehicles, and squad elements within the game's multiplayer. Swimming will also be introduced, as well as flamethrowers, both perfect tools for a jungle setting. World at War will have been developed by Treyarch for two years when it is released, making its development time twice that of Call of Duty 3's. It will also run off a modified Call of Duty 4 (Infinity Ward) engine. These modifications include improved lighting and physics, which will allow the player to do things such as set buildings on fire via flamethrower and cut holes in thin wood with bullets, creating openings big enough to squeeze a soldier through. It seems as if poor Treyarch deserves another chance. We'll just have to wait and see how heavily this plot thickens.
