GoldenEye 007

Landon 8/10
This remake of the classic N64 first-person shooter doesn't even feel like a remake. Unlike most games of the series, this one ignores the sexy cars and super models and focuses on pure action. And that's awesome. GoldenEye brings incredibly fun gunplay, epic fist fights, cool sneaking missions; the list keeps going! Although aiming can be a little tedious sometimes, and one or two objectives are a little frustrating, it's still a great addition to the library of Wii games. This is definitely one worth buying, especially if you loved the original like I did.

Kirby's Epic Yarn

Landon 8/10
At first, "Kirby's Epic Yarn" is so cute, it's honestly a little intimidating. But it's just something you have to get used to. When you do get used to it though, it becomes a ton of fun. Epic Yarn brings a new world called Patch Land which has been torn apart, and you have to travel with Prince Fluff to stitch it back together. This game brings awesome, creative levels, a new way of playing as Kirby, and graphics that are so good, they can compete for the best of the year. Don't let the cuteness get in your way of playing what is a truly great game. It's a ton of fun.
Logan 8/10
Like what Landon said, it takes a while before you get used to playing this game, but once your past that, you'll experience some gaming goodness. Kirby's Epic Yarn is a pretty daring game to Nintendo because Kirby had never looked so good before...or cute. This game has very cool gameplay with great music that I like to hum to sometimes, but the story seems too bizarre for my taste. Kirby's Epic Yarn has amazing visuals that are probably the best of the year and I highly recommend you get this game despite its adorableness.
