It is pretty fun.  My wife likes the Frisbee Gold and Boccie Ball. I&#8217;m liking pretty much all of the games in it.  Those two just have the easiest controls which is why she likes them I think.<\/p>\n<p>We also got Wii Fit.  I&#8217;m pretty happy since my Fit Age is 26 and I turn 30 next month.  Still, it has some fun games.  I&#8217;m more looking forward to what other games get released for the balance board.<\/p>\n<p>I also tried out the Pure demo in Xbox Live Marketplace today.  It is the first racing game since Full Auto that I think I can definitely win some races in.  I really like the simple arcadey controls and how doing tricks fills up your special\/turbo meter.  It is nice that you can either pull bigger tricks or use the boost to go faster with the same meter.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I checked out this weeks Xbox Live Arcade games.  Shred Nebula is not my kind of game.  I don&#8217;t like how you control the ship.  I just can&#8217;t get use to it.  Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball was not that great either.  From what I understand the full version has some other game modes that are suppose to be better, but the one int he trial stunk.<\/p>\n<p>Over all a fun day playing so far.  I&#8217;m headed off to try some more stuff in Wii Fit and probably some Too Human.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I played some Big Beach Games on the Wii the last couple days.
