Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 4 is a third person shooter in the survival horror genre. Often mentioned as one of the best games on GameCube, Capcom decided to release Resident Evil 4 on Nintendo’s next-gen console with enhanced controls and new game modes. The Wii Remote functionality makes the shooting much more intuitive and precise. This is definitely a game you should consider.

Okami
Okami is another Wii game that was ported from a last-generation system, in this case, the PS2. You play as a wolf named Amaterasu, who also happens to be the sun god. It’s more or less an adventure game in the mold of Zelda, but instead of traditional combat, you use a paint brush to draw your attacks. It sounds kind of weird, but it is a fun game to play with an interesting storyline. It definitely doesn’t hurt that you get a 40 hour adventure from a $20 purchase!

Sonic and the Secret Rings
Instead of buying the disappointing Sonic Unleashed, why not buy Sonic and the Secret Rings? It plays a lot more like the classic 2D Sonic games that everyone enjoy. For $20, you really can’t go wrong.

Game Freaks 365 Score: 7 out of 10
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Who said party games are no fun? Anything from the crazy mind of Michael Ansel is worth giving a good look. Rayman Raving Rabbids was one of the few launch games worth buying for the Wii. Now it’s in the bargain bin and more tempting than ever. Besides, who doesn’t like to shoot bunnies with plungers?

Game Freaks 365 Score: 8.6 out of 10
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
If you liked Wii Sports Golf, chances are you would like Tiger Woods 08. While it is not nearly as accessible to newcomers as Wii Sports, the increased realism, number of courses and various other differences all add to a more complex golf experience that long-time gamers will undoubtedly appreciate. It’s a better $20 spent than actually playing the real thing. No golf clubs required.
