Awesome game week. I'm picking up Punch out, Bionic commando, and I might be tempted to add boom blox 2 to my collection. It's a great party game.

Anyone know if you can play boom blox multi-player while passing the remote (ala wii-sports) since I only have 2 remotes?

I added Punch Out the moment Amazon slashed the price down to $40 (minus a few cents). I look forward to the next Boom Blox but in the same manner for the price drop.

Wii pretty much owns this week. I'm almost upset that BB and PO are coming out in the same week, since now I'll have to split my time between the two, after MONTHS of a Wii game drought.

From eurogamer:

There are many more levels to play co-operatively and competitively than in the previous game, and they come complete with the new variations mentioned above. A nunchuk is not required to play any of the levels, and because many of them are turn-based you can have hours of multiplayer fun with just the one remote.

They gave it a 9/10.

This is kind of like having to pay capital gains taxes on your amazing day trade in the stock market. 😉

lol. Math blaster on the DS. I remember playing that one in kindergarten almost 20 years ago. I didn't help much. 😛

FWIW, the original Boom Blox retailed for $49.99, and this heavily expanded sequel is priced at $39.99. Not sure if there will be an immediate price drop on this one. I'm very surprised (although very happily surprised) Punch Out!! got the price drop too.

Oooh, Jagged Alliance on DS. I'm gonna give that a try.
