Spider Solitaire. I can only do the two suit kind, but I still find myself completely obsessed. Oh . . . and a little bit with the sudoku thing.

I used to be a Sims girl. I actually stayed up ALL NIGHT trying to get these damn people to get a promotion so I could get them the really cool furniture for their house. Then I wanted them to mate and have kids. Boy was that a mistake. I finally had to uninstall it. I wasn't getting any sleep and my son was begging for a real meal.

Rayman's would be an obsession here as well. Along with Wii bowling, tennis, and hopefully, if my son gets it for his birthday - Wario Ware.

I can't decide if it's embarassing or liberating. Liber-ass-ing? Hmm...I might be onto something.

Scott and I play WOW -- World of Warcraft. We are on the horde side playing Undead, which means we are EVIL and we run around and kill pretty little gnome girls and nice Scottish-accented dwarves and even people. Then we eat the people. <---really. Because we are Undead, and that;s what zombies do. Duh.

HUGE! Stress reliever.

I want a Wii so bad I can taste it and now I want it even more....

Tetris. I had to stop when I would fall asleep thinking of what shape would fit between the bookcase and the desk.

Flight of the Hamsters. On Cartoon Network. My kids got me hooked on it and I have sat at the computer for hours trying to get little yellow balls so the hamster can bounce and fly over 500 feet. It's a sickness.

Hee! Those rabbits with plungers are hilarious.

I love all kinds of computer solitaire--to the point where I always have a game open (currently, it's Spider, Eileen!) and make a couple of moves whenever I'm waiting for a page to load on the computer (now that we have DSL, it never really takes that long, but it's an excuse).

What I have to be careful with, though, is FreeCell. It's evil. They NUMBER THE GAMES. Which, of course, means I have to keep track of which ones I've won. I have graph paper.

Oh Patient One and I are with Eileen LC and the spider solitaire! Oh Patient One deleted it from his computer, but he's reinstalled it :-)

Janina, I'm with you on the Sims! UGH What a time pit. LOL

Um, yeah, SIMS2 and all the expansion packs. We had most of the first SIMS, and then when the new one came out we had to have that too. I had to put more memory into my computer and upgrade the video card so it could handle the graphics--sad, really. I could have bought a whole new computer for what I spent on upgrades! LOL! The girls are hammering me for the new Seasons expansion pack now. And if you don't have the cheats for money, the game just isn't any fun! In fact, after I get off here I am going to load the game--got this family who's daughter is a toddler and mom just got promoted to City Council and dad just got promoted to Nurse and the Cat is now a movie stunt double--gotta go check them out! *grin* I've even thought of creating my characters from my books and seeing if I can get a good visual using the game--see, I am GOOD at rationalizing my time-wasting skills!

As for card games on the computer, I LOVE Free Cell! Spider Solitaire I can only do with one deck. I used to have a game where the cards are in a pyramid and you have to get it down to one card? Can't remember what it is called but I played the heck out of that one!!

Minesweeper. I never knew or cared about this game until my husband started playing it one day. He told me how to play it and it became a "friendly" competition. I would beat his score and then he would beat mine (or so I thought). He decided to turn himself in when I had my beginner level to 3 seconds, intermediate to 35 seconds, and expert to about 135. He made the high scores for every level 1 second with his name. At that point I new my computer genius of a husband had been cheating the entire time.

Heidi-I would recommend Super Paper Mario for your son's birthday instead of Wario Ware. We have about ten of the Wii games and although Wario Ware is ok, Super Paper Mario is so much better.

Wii Play is junk but ok for younger children. It is one of the only games you can set a 7-year old in a chair and let him play without worrying about the WiiMote going through your television.

Tiger Woods golf is great for the guys.

Madden Football has barely been touched.

Rayman's Raving Rabbits is fun and silly.

SSX Blur is fun for anyone and is another game you can actually sit down to play.

Legend of Zelda is probably good for teen boys and husbands who love every version of Zelda.

WiiSports. What can you say? It was genius of Nintendo to package this game with the console. My husband took our console to his friends house for a bachelor party. His friend had a projection screen. There were about 12-15 guys and later, another 12 girls that showed up. I was told that the Wii was in play for the entire 8 hours or so that he was there. He said that doubles tennis is awesome.

I have heard that Nintendo is looking for another manufacturer because right now they just can't produce these consoles fast enough. Target is the place to find them in my area. Just go in on a Friday morning by 10 or 11am and you might get lucky. Don't forget to get plenty of WiiRemotes when you purchase your system though. Usually they are sold out in all of our area stores by mid-afternoon of any shipment.
