Too lazy to rate them all. Ask me about any of them.

He's supposed to sell some of them to me at the end of the month

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Godzilla Unleashed Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams Okami Super Smash Brothers Brawl The Simpsons Game Wario Land: Shake It! Views on these?

Ghostbusters - Typical Atari. The game is a little too easy and a little too short. The cartoony art style isn't well executed either. There are some very pretty Wii games, and this isn't one of them. Still, the controls are tight, and the game is highly enjoyable. It's definitely a must for Ghostbusters fans. Final Grade: B-

Godzilla Unleashed - When Godzilla:DAMM came out, it was a decent enough game. Nothing incredibly special about it, but it was a great budget title. Unleashed is the third game in the series, and there has been absolutely no progression. The controllers are okay, but the overall experience is weak. The camera is unacceptably bad at times, and the gameplay is slower and clunkier than I'd like it to be. I realize that giant monsters are supposed to be slow and clunky, but it's frustrating sometimes. The roster is fantastic though, and if you're a huge Godzilla fan, this might be worth owning. Nearly all your favorite monsters are here, except Battra. Battra is only in the PS2 version, and apparently he's super half-assed. The monsters look fantastic, the 3D environments do not. Final Grade: C-, though it's a borderline D.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus - If you're a Guilty Gear fan, GGXXAC+ is the definitive version of GGXX. You know, at least until the next version. Every character, mode, and level that's ever been in GGXX in this game. This is one of the best 2D fighters on any system, but you NEED Gamecube controllers for it. Classic Controllers might work too, I forget. But the Wiimote/Nunchuk controls are awful. Not because it's too hard to fight, mind you, but because it's too easy. Supermoves are now relegated to directional + motion, which completely breaks the gameplay. I suppose it makes Survival Mode easier, but if you're going to cheat at Survival Mode, GGXX probably isn't the game for you.

Okami - Absolutely fantastic. A must-own, especially if you haven't played the original. Even if you have, this version is better. Final Score: A

Super Smash Brothers Brawl - Not quite as good as Melee in terms of depth, especially in 1P modes, but it's an excellent party game and the roster alone makes it worth owning. A bit overrated, but the developers really did try and cram as many levels, music tracks, and characters in there as they could. And you have to respect that. Final Score: B+

NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams - The controls could have been better, but this is very much a worthy sequel to the original game. And like most Sega titles that have been out for over a year, you can get it new for $15-20. Final Score: B

The Simpsons Game - One of the three best Simpsons games ever made, not that that's saying much. The camera is terrible at times, and again, it's too short. But the game is well-written, and there are plenty of nods to the Simpsons universe, as well as to other video games and pop culture. And there's a Will Wright cameo! Unfortunately, this game has a major cut compared to its 360/PS3 counterparts: you can't wander around Springfield. Yes, on the other systems you can actually wander around Springfield. Not so on the Wii version! The game is fun without the quasi-sandbox of Springfield, but it would have been much better with it. Final Score: C- Final Score For The XBox 360 Version: B

Wario Land: Shake It - Fuck that WarioWare bullshit, this is what a Wario game SHOULD be. Hand drawn 2D sprites, great controls, lots of fun. But it's too short, and too easy. Final Score: B-

Aside from the games my mom's coworker gave me that I haven't tried, the only game I own that's completely unplayable is Balls of Fury.
