From Charles Herold, your Guide to Wii Games

This week I review Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. I wasn't really that excited when the game arrived - I'd just reviewed a Lego game two months before - but it's such mindless fun that I wound up liking it anyway. I also spent some time seeing what the latest Project Cafe (a.k.a. Wii 2) rumors are; I'm really hoping the haptic screen one is true, but I have my doubts.

Right now I'm playing Virtua Tennis 4 and planning pretty much of a diatribe on what's wrong with it (mainly the control scheme, which is brain damaged). I also need to take a look at the movie tie-in Thor: God of Thunder, which I haven't opened yet. Oddly enough, Thor, Virtua Tennis 4, and The Conduit 2, which I reviewed recently, are all from Sega, which right now is keeping the Wii in games. Not all good games, admittedly, but I appreciate their giving me something to play.
