Piizza Wiiza Night

I REALIZE that we're a little behind here, but I'm happy to announce that we got a Wii for Christmas! In case you've been living in the dark ages right along with us, allow me to highly recommend it...for all people, everywhere, all the time. But I especially recommend it for people with smaller children. It's a game that everyone can play together, and it's actually FUN (even for the grown ups).

We've decided to make Friday nights Piizza Wiiza night. The kids think this is absolutely the most fun-filled concept on earth, and I love it because it gives me an excuse to order pizza once a week! It's just as it sounds: we eat pizza, we play wii, we prevent children from flinging remotes at each others' heads, we eat some more pizza.

Our favorite game to play as a family is Wii Party. It's a GREAT family game...the best one I've encountered so far. We love some of the Wii Sports games and I think we've played (and enjoyed) Ping Pong on Wii Resort, also.

I scoured the internet to find some Wii games that were appropriate for kids (ages 4 and up), not LAME, and good for a family that is not terribly video game-savvy. Based on reviews, I came up with Wii Party and Scooby Doo. We're obsessed with Wii Party, but Scooby Doo is another story. My kids can't figure out how to get to the next level...and neither can I?! Scooby is endlessly stuck in some graveyard, hopping around in circles. It's sort of deflating.

Do you know of any Wii games that we MUST own? What do you and your kids like? What do you like to do with your spouse and/or friends (on the Wii, pervert!)? I wouldn't mind getting some fun grown up games, too.
