Offroad Extreme Special Edition - Nov 23 - Use the Wiimote in a steering wheel position to race through quarries, canyons, and mines.
 
M&M's Kart Racing is going to be the best Wii game ever!!!!!:wtf: :wtf:, might rent Garfield and Trauma Center.
 
Star Trek Conquest could be fun. I think Cabela's Big Game Hunter comes out next week too.
 
Loved Trauma Center for the DS. Didn't buy the Wiimake. I do plan on picking up New Blood though. It's been getting very solid reviews. Also, I'll probably get Link's Crossbow Training. I really can't pass it up when it's only $20. Plus, I heard it has multiplayer. Sounds pretty cool.
 
sould calibour and gosht squad seems to be the only games to appeal to me
 
eh? Ghost Squad and Trauma Center are good rents, but that's about it >.<. Soul Calibur Legends...maybe?

That's cool, and I respect your opinion. I just hope you're not making it because the BWii says Nintendo on the box. The Star Trek game is retailing for $30. If you're a fan of RTS games, it could be worth renting to see if it's any good.

I really enjoyed the Star Trek Armada games, and the DS game was pretty fun. This game looks like it uses similar shield setups as the DS. I noticed it's $30 before this post, so I'm definately getting it now. :smilewinkgrin:

Either way, if I get the game next week I will write up a full review for WiiChat.

my reasoning behind saying bw2 wad not only based upon it being a "nintendo" product but because:
a) im not a star trek series or game fan
b) it seems to be a much more diverse and rewarding experience c) i know more about it
and d) it has gotten more media attn. meaning it has a higher chance of being succesful

then again im not a HUGE rts fan so take my opinionsfor wat their worth
