LostWinds
Quick look: Boy lives in village. Buy meets fai-, I mean spirit named Enril. Enril is the spirit of wind after she is freed. Think of Navi, except less annoying. Well, anyway, what was she trapped in? A crystal. Why was she trapped there? Some spirit named Balasar trapped here there. Why? Because he wanted to rule the world (OF COURSE!). Him, Enril and a bunch of other spirits were suppose to watch over the world, but Balasar decided to go all cliché and try to rule it. And with the help of the boy (Named Toki), the two set off on a journey to restore memory, powers and defeat Balasar. You control Enril with the wiimote, making wind to lift up Toki and a while bunch of other stuff you gain along in the game. The Nunchuck control pad controls toki.
Why you should play it:
-If you’re a fan of Metroid, you’ll love it.
-Despite it being short, it has puzzles that will actually have you thinking.
-It’s an original idea for a game and is a gem among the wave of FPS games becoming rampant these games.
-Graphics are simple, but nice.
-Takes full advantage of the Wiimote controls and shows how a Wii game should be.
It’s only 10 dollars. Pick it up.

My review of Samurai Warriors 2: Empires
Quick look: If you're expecting cultural accuracy, you've come to the wrong place. Historically accurate? Not really. This is a fun game, strategic with a little action. The action is pretty button mashing and it's difficult until you get a horse. Strategic is the funnest part. From increasing the size of your army to Militia to Conscription to Ninjas, you upgrade your army and it's power. You control your hero and an army. This is done via a simplistic albeit buggy d-pad control. (Telling them to attack, defend, default, etc.) It can be cheesy at times, but the game is worth a shot. Not exactly the most logical either. (Kick while you're wearing armor and a sword, yeah, I don't think so.)
Why you should play it:
-You like strategy games
-You want a bit of action
-You're obbsessed with Japan
-Simple graphics, but they do their task as being cartoonish.

For the Playstation 3(I was unable to get a recommendation article, I was told LittleBigPlanet was great):
For the Nintendo DS:
Scribblenauts
Quick Look:
Scribblenauts is a puzzle game. In this game, you complete objectives by writing any object and it appears to help you. It has 22082 words(Wiinintendo.com). Though, it's not perfect with this because some don't work right, for example, Tear gas doesn't act like tear gas. Or, another nuisance is, let's say you're objective is too snowball people, lets go with snowball gun! It shows up, but it's a normal gun and it kills them. The biggest nuisance is the controls. According to the instruction manual it's "Innovative"....Whatever WB. Everything is controlled with the stylus. Movement, shooting, selecting EVERYTHING. Let's say you have a gun, you're trying to stay far away, and you try to hit the enemy, but either one of three things happens: A) it fires with out selecting to fire at it B) it moves you there C) it selects it.
Why you should get it:
-Great puzzles
-Very fun despite a few minor annoyances
-Hopefully will spin off into it's own genre
-It's fun putting things together and seeing what happens.
-Anyone could play it!
Get it nao!
