The year isn't quite over, so I may have to bump something on this list for something better in the next few weeks, but for those who use top 10 lists when choosing Christmas presents I'm writing my top 10 now. Think of it as a work in progress.

Read my choices for the top 10 Wii games of 2009.

Life would be so much easier if I had my own shape-shifting blob. When I needed to change a light bulb I could turn my blob into a ladder, when I needed to exercise I could turn it into barbells. I never knew I needed a blob until I played the puzzle game A Boy and His Blob, but now I feel my life is not complete without one.

Read the rest of my review of A Boy and His Blob.

From December 5th through December 12, Walmart is offering a $50 gift certificate to anyone who buys a $199 Wii (while supplies last). And from now through December 24 they have a few Wii games discounted to $40 (Rock Band: Beatles, Lego Rock Band, MySims: Agents and Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics).  So you can go to Walmart, buy the console, get the gift certificate, turn around and walk back to Walmart's game section, grab a game and use the certificate!  The console offer is in-store only, but you can buy the games online through December 20th.

Sounds like a decent deal to me, although if anyone knows of a better deal, let me know.

Quick takes on games I never reviewed: Ghostbusters, Rune Factory: Frontier, Virtua Tennis 2009, Major Minor's Majestic March, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breaker, Vertigo, Hysteria Hospital: Emergency Ward, PDC World Championship Darts, Squeeballs, New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis, Baseball Blast, Madden NFL 10 and Pool Hall Pro.
