    I agree with the Play review scores for the most part. I would have rated Excite Truck a little higher. 8.0-8.5.

    Elebits is getting misrepresented in those reviews. It is a much better game than such low reviews suggest. It has an undeniable quirky charm and the gameplay has a very addictive quality. I would suggest at least trying it before you dismiss it.

    As for the other games reviewed...meh. There really aren't any games coming out for Wii that interest me until later in the year. My primary interests are Metroid Prime: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, like most Wii fans. I'm also really excited for Project HAMMER, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Battalion Wars II, and Mario Strikers Charged.

    The second half of 2007 will be much better for Wii than the first.
