The Dog Island (Wii)

Advantages: classic gaming at its best
Disadvantages: dated

...The Monkey Island trio ( soon to be 4 ) is known throughout the gaming world and is considered by many as the greatest adventure games ever written. The Secret of Monkey Island first in the trilogy and the game that started the craze. You control the dopey hero Guybrush Threepwood. Guybrush has a dream to be a pirate, once monkey island old sea dogs tell him he must go through three trials to become a pirate. On one his quest he meets the lovely Elaine Marley ( the heroine of the game ) and falls in love with her and just as he thinks everything is amazing , she gets kidnapped by the evil ghost pirate LeChuck. The games graphics look slightly dated and the interface is clumsy compared to the newer games. The humour is still as fresh as ever and so is the story.... Read review

Advantages: great fun, addictive, great time killer!!!
Disadvantages: none

...This is one of the best games I've played in a long time. Its great fun once you get used to the completely different Wii controls (and believe me that took some doing especially for me!! hubby picked it up really quickly and beats me in most games so perhaps its just me!!!) Basically you fly around wing island completing different tasks which you can select from the menu, such as finding lost cows, putting fires out, etc.... This is one of those games where the hours just seem to disappear whilst your playing it. its very addictive. My 7 year old thinks its great fun too - it keeps him quiet for hours (What a blessing that is!!!) I would highly recommend this game to all ages.... Read review
