Consumer Reports for my Christmas Presents

Yeah, that's right. Christmas. I flatly refuse to say "holidays," as I think I explained in a Sammie down there. I'd rather make a list. Christmas, Hanukkah(spelling questionable), Kwanzaa, Frostval, Decemberween... and, you know, I don't have time for that. When I'm talking about Christmas I'm not afraid to say Christmas. At least not until I become famous and have cameramen following my every move. :D

Uh... where was I? Reviewing video games, right? Right. And not reviewing my new socks and undapants.

Okay. Firstly, Wii Music. Two words: holy crap. This is just... almost better than the thing that's better than the greatest thing since sliced bread. Or something like that. You can just... do all sorts of music and music-related stuff. Conducting an orchestra (with friends, at the same time), improvising (with accompaniment), and recording your own arrangement of classic songs. "Classic" is probably the best thing you can say about some of them. (Hey! Wanna play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?!) But then there's Mario. And, uh... all sorts of other buttdanceable tunes. Yeah. This gets, like, 4.7 urns out of 5. Urns because... it's a... funny word.

And then Rock Band. I think the makers of this game have a pact with Microsoft or something. I played the Xbox version and I was like, "Omg* I gotta get this game." So I get the Wii version, which turns out being more expensive and lacking my favorite part, band customization. What. the. helm. I'm also fairly certain that the only thing it has over the Xbox version is that the guitar is wireless. Of course, what do I care?? This would probably have 4.5 to 5 urns, but it lacks the best part. So it's at 3.8.

In short, Wii Music is waay better than everybody says, and don't buy a Wii if all you want to play is Rock Band.


*Not OMG; omg. Pronounced "AHMG."
