The credit card the misses and I use give us cash back vouchers which we usually buy something frivoulous with that we wouldn't normally consider. Well we took delivery of a shiny new Wii on Saturday which came with Wii sports included.

I'm loathed if I'm going to shell out £60 on games only to find they aren't of much interest so, the plan is to rent them and if we like them buy a copy. I know there are plenty of places out there doing this, Tesco, Love Film etc, but has anybody got any recommendations in terms of selection and deals?

Just ask in computer chat and we'll tell you what you will like .

But Blockbuster and Lovefilm.co.uk and gamefrenzy.co.uk all rent games

Thanks!

By the way.

Super Mario Galaxy
Sonic & Mario at the olympics
Wario Ware Smooth moves
Big Brain academy
Wii Play

Are all worthwhile and will have universal appeal - I.e. anyone can play them

Resident Evil 4
Zelda: The Twighlight Princess

Are excellent games, but more traditional in terms of gaming style.

Wii Play? OK, sounds interesting, looked like it was aimed at kids to me, however it does come with a wiimote included so may be worth purchasing!

I tried to get games from Lovefilm, by upping my package to Ultimate 3 combined. Queued up 7 X360 games. Never got a single one in 3 loads.

I complained, they said they have limited stock and people keep them a long time.

Just a thought if you join someone like this for the games alone.




Did someone mention WiiKey.

Wii play is well worth it some good games and really its free as you get the second Wiimote.

I've just joined up with Lovefilm and I'm on a 3 month free trial, but that doesn't include the games sadly

We only have 2 games for ours. Legostar wars which my 8 year old loves. Not my bag. I've also got Guitar Hero which is fun, but I wouldn't want to play it every night, maybe once a week.

Guitar Hero III.

Wario smooth moves is good but will drive you mental.

I've just finished Zelda. Couldn't put it down! If you try it, don't let the first hour or so put you off. It seems a bit wafty, with not much going on, and a bit pointless, but it's all just training really, for when it kicks off in earnest.

Mega value aswell, it took me 75 hrs to complete.

I don't think it's possible for Wii. I tried at blockbuster on saturday, and the bloke said nintendo won't licence them for rental..or something!

just started res 4..very good!

I've seen plenty of places offering Wii games so I don't think it's an issue. I was just after which people thought was best.

Resident evil 4 on the Wii is superb!
