I just got this for the Better Half for Christmas, and it is awesome! In the first place, I dance atrociously, so it's definitely helping me out with my total lack of rhythm. In the second place, it makes a really great exercise! You get an awesome workout, but because you're having fun making a fool out of yourself, you don't really even notice you're sweating until your done!

Uhm, yes please. We actually don't have this one yet, but I am dying to get it. The BH has turned me into a total Gleek, so I find myself listening to – and singing along to – the soundtrack for every new episode. All the time. I'd hang my head in shame, except it's so much fun, I really can't. I love karaoke anyway, so mixing that with Glee songs is just like the most genius idea ever to me. Naturally, those of you who are not Glee fans should probably pass on this one!

I love all the Cooking Mama games, actually. But I'm such a klutz with my Wii controller that I hear the refrains of “You're not mine!” constantly. This is one of those games that it takes me forever to beat, and I won't stop until I've been successful. With practice, I am getting pretty decent on World Kitchen. Mama still doesn't claim me a quarter of the time though.

Mario Party may well be the greatest party game ever, and it doesn't actually matter which version you get. When you have a group of friends over, you will have fun no matter what. If you are like me and my friends, you will also wind up with some good-natured yelling and threats to throw one another off the stoop, but hey. That's what friends are for!

I am a ginormous Mario Kart fan. I never thought it could get any better than the original version, until I first played it on the Wii. Omg! This is another great game for a group, or at least with two people – although I advise you to practice on your own in secret. Trust me, it helps to really crush the competition.

I love Cake Mania. I play it on the PC as well – like, every version that comes out, ever. I just bought the latest one a couple weeks ago, in fact. I like it on the Wii, though, because it's almost like I'm really a pastry chef. Almost.

I am pretty sure I've heralded the awesomeness of the Trauma Center games before. Again, get whatever version you like, because they are all awesome, every single one of them. Especially if you have a medical bent and like to cut imaginary people open and then stitch them up again. Which I do.

Of course, I am always looking for new games I might love. I don't get to play often, but when I do, I am all over it. So, does anyone have any recommendations for me?
