i skipped the wii entirely as well and of the wii games i've played the following appear worth it

-metroid prime
-super paper mario
-xenoblade (if you like jrpgs)
-mario galaxy 2
-the wii zelda games if waggle controls don't piss you off

the first mario galaxy is also really good. i'd recommend playing that before the second one.

It's ok only with expansions. I'd suggest to take a look at Endless Legend instead, it is fairly similar yet good out of box.

It's good with the expansions IMO, has that "one more turn" feel of its predecessors and some cool art.

Civ 5 is fun and I like a lot of what it tried to do (less micromanagement, better UI, minor power politics, more interesting factions), unfortunately it's got terrible AI and the dominant strategy is throw food at everything. If you were super hardcore Civ 4 player then you might not like it, but it doesn't suck and it's got some cool stuff to play with.

e: yeah get the expansions

e2: also don't get beyond earth

Yeah, Civ IV (w/ expansions, of course) was better mechanically and also the music selection for it was way better in my opinion (I always look forward to when Slavonic Dances starts, as opposed to in V where like you can stuck with the original game music instead of the cool classical score if you play as some nations), but it's still a good game and the Art Deco thing makes it look real pretty.

Baba Yetu owns and The People Are The Heroes Now is cool but honestly I like Civ V's music better. And the narrator is better than Nimoy :colbert:

Ha, yeah, okay, cool. I suppose you also enjoy scratching your nails on a chalkboard and have a recording of that which you listen to instead of say, a beautiful symphony. Great taste, StashAugustine.

You'll probably need a wiimote for all 3 games. the Prime Trilogy was this elusive Wii compilation thing that went for crazy prices on eBay. as soon as this deal comes out the value will plummet though

Civ 3 where the other nations would just send settlers into the one mountain that wasn't covered by your national borders and there wasn't poo poo you could do about it cause they'd bankrupted themselves building archers :negative:

Nintendo sells refurbished wiimotes and nunchucks on their website for $25. Totally worth it for Metroid Prime, etc.
