Surprised by NBA Jam's 9 - better than I expected.  Still refuse to pay full price without the online though.

Not so surprised by Wii Party's 7.5.    As long as they thought it was a lot of fun.

I'll pick up Sid Meier's Pirates,  never played it on PC, but they better not expect full price for such an old port.

Ya This game will be played on my HBC Wii. Not buying a sports game with no online. The new NHL wii game has voice, motionplus, and online. So don't tell me they couldn't get online for this game.

Wii Party is fun, and better than all the Mario Parties. Believe me I know!

Clearly they could have.  EA's had great online on all their sports games up until this and NHL Slapshot.  Hope this isn't a sign of them abandoning online on Wii altogether.  Plus it's fully implemented on their 'free' version on HD consoles. I have friends I'd definitely been playing Jam with online.   So this is a shame.

I'm sure I'll be picking Wii Party up at some point.  

Say, Where's the Kirby Review?

Kirby's Epic Yarn review will be in the next issue.
