Wow what a busy few days! But a great couple of days there leading up to Christmas today. We have a one year old son who get s all of the attention around here and he had an absolute blast. We had to get him a toy guitar so he perhaps wouldn’t go so crazy when I’m playing Guitar Hero III, but it didn’t work too well. He likes his toy guitar well enough, but when I bring out the GHIII guitar, he goes bananas and wants it, dropping his toy one. Whatever Daddy is playing with, right?

Also, something *huge* happened at my parents today where we normally gather for the holidays - my parents, who are in their 50’s and never played video games and absolutely despised them when I was growing up, told me they wanted to get a Wii. They said one of their bosses had one at a party and everyone (their age) was playing and loving it, just having a blast. So now, they want one. And they don’t want a 360 or a PS3 because they want to be able to get up and be active while they play, not just sit around on the couch so they said. I was blown away to say the least. Huge!

What about you guys? Any good Wii stories, or maybe you go some good Wii games or peripherals in for Christmas? I’m waiting on Ghost Squad to arrive along with the Nyko lightgun from Amazon and while I didn’t get any Wii related presents for Christmas, I do have a gift card to GameStop. I’m undecided on what I should spend it on although I’m crazily interested in Carnival Games or maybe even Resident Evil: UC. If anyone out there has Ghost Squad and RE:UC, could you perhaps post with what you like/dislike about each one and how they compare? Sure, I could read reviews but I’m always interested in hearing from the community here.

To make things fun and mix in the Tuesday Poll for this week, I’ll ask you guys, which game should I get with my giftcards from the following selection:

Ok, hope you all had a great holidays this year, I’m going to be posting tons of updates tomorrow and we should be back on track.
