While looking for more group-based games for the Wii, I stumbled upon Wii Party.  As long as you don’t set your expectations too high – this is a great group-based game for the Wii.  Like the Mario Party games before it, it is meant to be played with a large group of people rather than by yourself, and will take you through several types of games to play – with a few mini games thrown in for good measure.

Now, you can play this game by yourself – and it does have a few modes that support solo player mode.  However, playing against the computer just is not nearly as fun as playing with a friend. 

With over 80 mini games and several different game modes – you are sure to find some games that are your favorites and some you consider to be duds.  Thus far, my favorite of the different game modes has to be Spot the Sneak – where one player secretly gets an advantage over the other players in a series of mini games.  Then after each round, everybody has to try to guess who the "sneak" was. 

Wii Party is a great game to pull out and play this upcoming holiday weekend.  It is simple enough for everybody in the family to play, and as long as you keep in mind it is a simple party game and nothing more, you will have a great time playing it.

Happened to run across this fantastic wallpaper the other day, and wanted to share it with you all here.  Anybody know knows me well, knows I am a huge Legend of Zelda fan boy – so this wallpaper is just perfect for me.

No idea who the original source is for it, however here are a few different screen resolutions: 1920×1200, 1680×1050, 1440×900, and 1280×800.

Pick the one that suits your monitor best, and enjoy.  (via Fanpop)

Why don’t they make cartoons like this anymore?  Maybe they hold a special spot with me for nostalgia reasons alone.  I would dare to say though that this list would stand up to any list of new cartoons out there, any day of the week… even Saturday morning!
