What game is the one where you play a bunch of different games including one where you race your character on foot by using the Wiimote? Girlfriend wants to get that one...

Haha, if you want her to lose weight, I'd just get her a treadmill...

Jokes. Honestly, I don't know. Is it a newer game?

If you like sports games, I'd highly recommend the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. That's a great game to play with the Wiimote. It's really responsive to the motions you make, and there are some good modes as well as online to keep you busy.

Maybe give a crack at NHL 2K10? I don't really know the reviews for it though.. so you'd have to ask someone else.

Also in favour of Super Mario Bros. Wii and Brawl.

I only have a couple of games for it as I just got one about a month ago. Metroid 3 was waaaaayyyy too easy. One the first go it only took me 6 hours, which the others took me well over double that. I was a bit disappointed.

Rayman Raving Rabbits is gold when 2 or more people want to play.
As is Mario Party.

We're talking about Rayman Raving Rabbits 1 right? Looks like there's a 2nd one out too (last year).

1. Super Mario Galaxy

For the other two take your pick of Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros Brawl, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Wii Sports Resort. It really depends on what kind of games you like.

I bought the super mario bros, 2010 big game hunter with the gun, and resident evil. I already have most of the others mentioned in this thread, except for the raving rabbits, dont get how people like that so much.

1. super mario galaxy
2. super smash bros brawl

I highly recommend these two.

As for the third, i'd probably go with either Twilight Princess or Mario kart.

I would agree with Zelda:Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy, as top two. Beyond that I have trouble choosing between the following:

3. Tiger Woods Golf
3. Wii Sports Resort
3. Lego Star Wars
3. Mario Kart

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is fun, but I'm not much of a fighting game fan and the adventure mode is not overly spectacular, IMO, but I do really like it.

If I absolutely had to choose a third, I'd probably go with Mario Kart, pretty addictive fun.

Depends on the kinds of games you wanna play.
I personally love the ones I'm about to suggest.

1. No More Heroes (plus the sequel is coming out in the new year too)
2. Mad World (can be pretty gory for a black and white)
3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I actually got EA Sports Active for the wife nd I would have to say, it provides a pretty good basic workout that is good if you want to get your heart rate up every so often.

Some games I would recommend:

COD:WaW: I haven't tried MW Redux, but WaW was the best shooter that I played on the Wii.

Do not buy the Conduit: terrible terrible game with character models that would have been considered bad on the N64.

Zelda was good.

Boom Blox, Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy.

I really want to try New Super Mario Bros Wii.
