I finally broke down and bought a Wii. I’ve been going back and forth on it for a few months now and I had the chance to get one so I decided to go ahead and do it. I am not 100% sure why I bought it as there are not many good games out [...]

Mini Review- Sim City DS

Before we start, a brief caveat- I have always been a Sim City fan. I am not a fanatic, but I have owned just about every release, even the one for SNES and I was really excited for it to come out on the DS.
