I can always tell when the holidays are getting close. I just get this urge for new video games. I think it is all the deals that are popping up. They are just. so. hard. to. resist. The bad part is I don’t even have a favorite genre. I can play them all. No matter what the system. A love a good game. It can be for PSP, DS, PC, Ipod, Wii, Gamecube, Xbox (orginal of course) and my trusty Nintendo. Yes, I like old school too 
I just found out today a new Need for Speed came out. I am a huge Need for Speed fan. I was just playing Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City on my PSP over the weekend. I have Need for Speed Underground for Xbox. I also have Need for Speed Undercover on my iPod Touch. I tend to get games on all consoles if I really like it.
Anyways, back to the the new Need for Speed Nitro game. It just game out today for both Nintendo DS and Wii. It definitely sounds fun. I love a racing game where I get to drift and get to run from the cops, lol. Plus it will be cool to try out the variety of licensed cars they have that can be customized. I think I will be adding this game to my “want” list. It sounds right up my alley. I am curious about the actual game plan on both systems. I just found out that Need for Speed is on Twitter too.
Ok, my Dad bought my kids a Wii I think about a year ago. Recently he decided to get one for himself. I thought great we should be able to send pics and notes back and forth easiliy. Well it was a little harder than I thought. I already had my Mii set up but my Dad had to set his up. Then we had to try to find each other. It took a while before we figured out that first you have to post your Mii. Then you are given an entry number that you should write down. You will need this number to give to your friend to add into your address book. You can also use this entry number to search for your friend. Once we were able to do I thought we started to send messages to each other. I am warning you right from the start it is not as fast as when you send an instant message. It is much slower. I am not sure why because both my Dad and I have this fiber optic internet that is pretty fast. It took a while when we sent pics back and forth too. Now I am working on convincing my dad to either get a game pass from Hollywood Video or join Gamefly. This is the most economical way to try out games to see if you really like them. Plus we have Mario Kart and he doesn’t but he wants to play against us from his house. However my dad does not want to pay $49.99 for Mario Kart. Personally I think it is worth it but then I love racing. If my dad gets the gamepass then we can at least play each other while he decides if he wants it or not.
Another issue we had is he had to pay 500 points to get on the internet. He is still kind of upset because when he bought it for us we were able to get the internet channel free.
It is still kind of weird how my family has really fallen in love with playing Wii. My dad takes his to my grandmother’s house so everyone can play. And I mean everyone. My grandmother, my aunts and uncles and even my soon to be 3 year old cousin. It’s cool to see the different generations together having fun. As of right now bowling is their number one favorite and golf is a close second. I can’t wait to let them play my Summer Sports game. Now that miniature golf is addictive!!
