GV writes: "When Wii Fit came out last year, I was an instant supporter and one of the few who didn't abandon my balance board within the first few weeks. In fact, I was still doing regular Wii Fit workouts up until a few weeks ago, and the balance and exercise tool helped me lose over ten pounds and get into the best physical shape of my adult life. Plenty of people were quick to dismiss Wii Fit as a gimmick, but used properly and regularly, I have always felt that it is a good tool to help you become a healthier person. When it comes to straight-up calorie burning, though, there are only a few good, long exercises Wii Fit has, which can make the routine a bit too repetitive at times. However, other publishers have decided to experiment with exercise games, giving me more options. The latest is Ubisoft's Gold's Gym Cardio Workout, and despite the blatant advertising for the gym, it really is a workout."
DHGF: These days I limit myself to a total of twenty physical copies of games per system. Yet for the past two console generations, I’ve have a hard time finding enough games to reach my maximum of twenty per system. That’s where you, the reader come in. With each column, I’ll give you my list of games I’ve found worth keeping along with a list of games I’ve reviewed for the system. Then begins what I hope to be an in-depth dialogue with multiple readers. You can name games you think I’d like that might make my permanent collection. You might suggest losing Game A in my collection for Game B that I haven’t played as well. It gives you a chance to say what games you would keep if you had to pare down your collection. It lets you get a better look at my preferences and tastes. Most of all, lets you recommend things to me instead of the other way around. After nine years of me reviewing hundreds of games, this might be a bit of fresh air for all of us. Let’s see what happens.
The only game on Wii that worth anything to my family is Wii Sports Resort and that's because my wife and boys love frisbee golf. If it wasn't for that, I doubt we'd turn on the Wii, honestly.

What do you do what all of those dollars?
Let Uncle Nate tell you what to buy and what to stay away from…."
