This week I review two of the best Wii games of the year, Disney Epic Mickey and Donkey Kong Country Returns. I was particularly taken by Mickey, resulting in one of my longest reviews. Hopefully it's as interesting as it is lengthy.

By next week I will have posted my review of Rock Band 3 and Pictionary which is notable as one of the release games for the uDraw drawing tablet peripheral. I'm also going to take a look at Call of Duty: Black Ops this week, although I have no idea if I'll find it worthy of a review; I haven't really cared for the series since it deserted World War II in Modern Warfare (an opinion that puts me in the minority). I also need to try out the new fitness game, EA Active 2. AndI'm also expecting Create to arrive in the mail this week, which I have high hopes for, and The Sims 3, which apparently got lost in the mail and is being resent.

I would complain about the hardship of more games than I can handle, but I find that gets surprisingly little sympathy from my friends.
