I picked up another one of Nintendo’s “Touch Generations” games the other day. It’s called Club House Games and is pretty cool. It has a bunch of games (over 40) of all types (board games, single-player, cards, etc). I really like this line of games because they are easy to play and have good multiplayer support. For example, Ev and I can play checkers together.

(I must say that the DS’s download feature is one of its best. It’s nice to be able to play multiplayer games without having to have multiple copies of the game. All in all, I use the DS about 99% of the time and the PSP the other 1%. Completely opposite of what I originally thought.)

The downside to Club House Games is that there are a couple of Japanese games on it that I have no idea how to play (with Kanji characters, no less)…some I’ve been able to figure out, but 2 or 3 are beyond me. Also, some of the controls on the “action” games (bowling, darts, pool) are crappy. Not a lot of skill invoved, more of chance. Finally, at $30 I think it’s a bit expensive. It’s more of a $25 game. But, given the amount of games, and the multiplayer, it’s not a bad deal.

In other news, the Wii console will be out in two weeks. I’m really looking forward to this machine as it looks to be a lot of fun. No way will I be buying the PS3–I don’t like the action games, it’s too expensive, and I don’t intend on buying any HD or BluRay movies–not until they have players that play both. I’m not going to be waiting in line for a Wii, and will probably wait until after Christmas to pick one up (would rather a kid have one for Christmas than me). However, if I spot one in Target, I may just grab it….
