CTA Wii Guns

These Wii guns from CTA Digital are awesome.

I only have two shooter games for the Wii, both part of the Medal of Honor series, but I'd be stoked to mess around and shoot buddies with these.

We actually have quite a few Wii peripherals in the house. I'll drop info on them later.

Thanks to Cnet's Crave for the info and image.

Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge - Horrible

Wow, I got this as kind of a group party game people could mess around with... well, during parties. I've it a few times alone and with friends over the weekend and I have to say it's pretty lame.

What should you expect when their publisher, Conspiracy Entertainment, has this to say about it on its Web site:

Captivating sports such as Figure skating or Skeleton demand high skills and fast reactions. Experience the fascination of Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge with stun-ning graphics and an exciting soundtrack.

Not all the games are horrible. The skiing events were ok and good for a laugh, but games such as curling and speed skating were downright painful to play or watch other people play. Most of the people playing with us agreed with me that the controls were pretty poor. It's a bummer, because I was really excited for curling too.

Seriously!!!

Nyko Wireless Nunchuck

IGN and Engadget dropped info on the Nyko Wireless Nunchuck for Wii and it's being shown now at CES too.

Since I'm a casual gamer, here's my casual review (without actually playing with it).

Pros:
* It'll make it easier to pick up my beer during Medal of Honor Heroes 2.
* Less cords getting tangled.

Cons:

* MSRP is $30. Dang, i'm not sure if I need to spend that.

Anyway, check it out here. If you're having cable issues, it's probably something you need.
