| Boom Blox |
Steven Spielberg making video games and not movies! Yes it's true, although he probably has not given up his movie producer day job, he has moved into the video game arena. The video game he helped design is Boom Blox for Wii
. The action-puzzle game mimics the jenga board game but with the interactive Wii the game reaches a whole new level. I mean who doesn't like throwing stuff and knocking things down? You use action gestures with the Wii remote
to grab, throw or blast objects to topple towers or destroy battleships. The game offers over 400 different levels and features single, co-op or versus game play. This is the first game collaboration between Steven Spielberg and EA and has gotten good reviews. However game sales are not where they would want them to be, it has sold only 60,000 copies and is the ninth most popular game for Wii
. With so many new Wii games competing for your attention Boom Blox definitely deserves a second glance.And don't worry Indiana Jones, I'm sure Steven hasn't forgotten about you.
I come from a large extended family, kind of like the Brady bunch. I have 6 sisters and 1 brother, ranging in age from 18-35 and we all like to get together for a sibling night. We try to find the time at least once a month to catch up on what is going on in each others lives and also like to find fun things to do. So this weekend we got together and one of my sisters brought the new Wii game 
for us to play. And this by far was the most fun and funniest time we have had. Not only do we get to see who is the most competitive but also who is the most coordinated. We get to laugh at each other and get laughed at, and being from a big family, this just comes with the territory. Wii has definitely hit another home run with this game! It is an interactive dance game that comes with a variety of songs to choose from. You imitate the dancers on the screen and earn points for correct dance moves. Not only is this a fun game but you will definitely break a sweat. The songs are from a range of genres and you can also shop for new songs and download them to your game. This game made our sibling night a huge hit and I look forward to the next time I get to bust a move.
