Wii
Super Mario Galaxy 2 may utterly lack the original game's originality, but it's just as much a joy to play. Mind the cow.

Wii
As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him a duck. Turns out, you can't make a fighting game out of All Star Karate, either.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Wii
If you're looking for a monster bashing action game, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is not it, though it does have monsters. However, if you're into survival-horror adventure full of puzzling challenges, psychoanalysis-on-a-stick and none too infrequent jolts of panic, then this is the one.

Baseball Blast
Wii
2K Sports forgoes its hardcore sports simulation roots with Baseball Blast, an acceptable, sport-themed foray into the lucrative blossom of "family fun night" videogames on Wii.
