Choose your dog (yellow, chocolate, or black Labrador retriever) and train him to respond to your commands, all controlled by player motions using the Wii Remote. Gear up with name-brand guns, camouflage, and decoys – then it’s off into the wilderness to set up decoys, use duck calls, and ultimately become a crack shot using the Wii Remote to aim and fire at tough-to-down mallard, hen, black, and teal ducks.

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords - Nov 29 - $29.99 - Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is a unique combination of classic RPG elements and fun puzzle mechanics.

Set in the Warlords universe, the game challenges players to create, develop and customize the ultimate hero in order to save the land of Etheria from evil Lord Bane. To advance their character, players battle in turn-based, head-to-head "match-three" style puzzle games in one of three distinct gameplay modes. Single-player allows gamers to battle against the AI as they embark on over 150 challenging quests. Instant Action allows gamers to jump in and immediately play continuous battles to level-up characters without participating in quests. Multiplayer allows gamers to battle live opponents -- victory will advance the player's hero, magical arsenal, creature companions and more, ultimately rewarding gamers at nearly every turn.

Not as good as last weeks releases.
Crusin' could be alright, I saw some screens, it looked decent.

Thanks for the info.
 
*Shakes head at Cruisn*

Don't buy Crusin! Its graphics are dreadful. Like PS1 worthy. Either buy ExciteTruck or wait for Mario Kart.

Watch this vid.

Oops, bad link, you'll have to scroll up to see the vid.

Not every week can be a winner. Anyhow Puzzle Quest strikes my interest i liked the Xbox version i wonder how the Wii version will play.
 
Crus'n might be fun but definitely a rental if at all. History Channel game might be good, just haven't seen to much stuff on it. Lots of talk and no show so might not be as good. SMG is the game of choice right now for me.:smilewinkgrin:
 
sorry, nothing this week seems to grab my attention, thanks for the update tho :)
 
Cruisn might be worth it just for the cheese factor. It is seriously one of the biggest piles of crap I've seen in a long time. Only would a Nintendo console get a game that looks that horrible (graphically).

The Xbox Live version is $15 and the PS2 version is $20. I'm not sure I want to spend $30 on it if I have those options unless the Wii version adds something special. There's also a PC demo version you can get for free:
