Browser delayed until April. 🙁

Yippe! Free browser till April 😛

I think the final one is free if you download it before June. The way I've read it worded it leads me to believe that if you d/l before then it's free forever. So boo that the final browser wont be out for another month.

That's what I understood also, that if you downloaded it before it was officially released, you get it free
 
I bought Godfather for Wii and I'm liking it. I didn't own it for any other systems and it got decent scores so I was like what the hell. The controls take some getting used to since you use motion sensing for pretty much everything except walking around in the game but it makes it more fun that way also. Taking over businesses and rackets is fun, so is robbing banks and such. Not a bad game if you have never played it before like me.
 
Anyone here play cooking mama yet? The reviews seem to have a decent range. (5.8 at IGN and 7.6 at 1up) Was wondering what anyone here thought about it

I need your input. How good of a workout can you get on one of these things? I don't mean anything really intense, but can you get a sweat going with one of these?

or you could just sit there and barely move the controllers to get the same effect. It's all about how you view the gaming experience. like so.

I prefer to get into the game 🙂

Agreed. When I bowl, I do the entire motion, tennis is the same way
 
After a couple of weeks of not playing anything except VC games, my sister and her boyfriend visited us and they brought Wario Ware and he bought Tiger Woods & Cooking Mama and I got Sonic. WW is fun as everyone says, but we played the sh1t out of it this weekend, so I have no desire to buy it now. Cooking Mama is both frustrating and fun at the same time. The Engrish voiceover cracks me up (Wuhnadafaaaah!!). I'd probably pick it up on sale one day. My gf really liked it though. Tiger Woods is awesome, I'll probably buy that myself when I can find it used. I really, really enjoyed it...and I've never really been a fan of golf games outside of maybe Mario Golf. I bought Sonic, hesitantly due to the reviews, but it was $40 used, so I went for it. I'm glad I did. Really, the Wiimote doesn't bring much to the table in this game, but it's fun and fast as hell. I like the equipment element to it and the minigames are actually some of the best I've played in any game! I'm going to keep checking Gamestop for used copies of the Godfather...I really feel like playing a sandbox game lately, and I think the motion sensing should bring a lot to the title....

EDIT: Oh yeah, Sonic's music is quite possibly the most mind-numbingly terrible I've ever heard.
