I love this game!

Cooking Mama: Cook Off Wii Game
Cooking Mama: Cook Off Wii Game

Pros: To put it simply, it's just fun! Much better and more challenging than the DS version; and now it has a two-player cook-off part of the game in which you compete in an Iron Chef kind of manner! This is a game that takes full advantage of the Wiimote's features. It's probably even more fun if you enjoy cooking in the real world as well, like I do.

Cons: May not be for everyone. If you're not sure if this game is for you, I'd recommend renting it first. The woman who did the voice of Mama's Engrish voice got a tad annoying after awhile.

Overall Review: Like a lot of Nintendo's games, it looks like a kids' game at first glance. But you'll soon learn that it's fun no matter how old you are (and this is coming from a 22-year-old male). I wish they found a way to make use of the nunchuk though.

GARBAGE

NETGEAR WN2000RPT-100NAS Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender
NETGEAR WN2000RPT-100NAS Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender

Pros: Nothing at all.

Cons: Overpriced ($90 when I bought it) and CONSTANTLY drops signal. Trying to keep a signal for more than a few minutes during warm weather is near impossible due to this stupid thing constantly overheating. Firmware upgrades have little to no effect in fixing this issue. I've had this repeater for over a year and hate it SO much. Cannot wait to replace it soon.

I see Logitech hasn't changed

Logitech 980231-0403 Gold Plated Audio Connectors Connector Circumaural Precision PC Gaming Headset
Logitech 980231-0403 Gold Plated Audio Connectors Connector Circumaural Precision PC Gaming Headset

Pros: Headphones are great; not too loud, but not soft either. They are also very comfortable. They work great if you're not looking for skull-shattering loud headphones. After all, it's important to protect your hearing. Anyone complaining about discomfort is probably wearing them the wrong way; they wrap around the back of the head.

Cons: *sigh* Every Logitech product I've bought works great.....for awhile. The mute switch never worked, not even out of the box. The microphone just stopped working today (I've owned it for a little over a month). I'm pretty upset considering I used it a lot in gaming.

Overall Review: I've had enough, this will be the last product from Logitech that I'm ever buying. I would also like to note that I never improperly treated this product.

Great while it lasted...

GARMIN 3.5" GPS Navigation
GARMIN 3.5" GPS Navigation

Pros: It's user friendly, very accurate, somewhat decent signal most of the time, and I never got lost with it.

Cons: After just over a year, the device died for no apparant reason. Garmin's manufacturer warranty only covers their products for up to one year. If I wanted to send it in for a repair, even a simple battery change, it would cost $225 (you can look it up on their website)! It was absurd to think I would pay that much when for just a little more I could just buy a new one.

Overall Review: This is a very expensive device, and I feel like I was conned out of my money by these dirtbags. I've seen longer warranties on a freaking CD player. Garmin needs longer warranties on their products and reasonable fees for their "support".

Rentworthy

Red Steel Wii Game
Red Steel Wii Game

Pros: Pretty decent for a first-gen FPS game for the Wii.

Cons: A common complaint about this game is a glitch in the game that makes the crosshairs randomly start to jitter around for no apparant reason. The voice acting is terrible.

Overall Review: TIP: there's another oversight that the developers somehow neglected in the part of the game where you face the lunatic and must make it up a snowy hill via a skilift. I tried for at least an hour to figure out how to reach the skilift with no success. After searching around, no one else seems to know either. You just have to run up the hill and try to not get hit by any of the grenades. You may die a couple times trying, but it IS possible. I found it useful to run in a diagonal line.

War on Zeus!

God of War 2 Game

Pros: Excellent game. It's the perfect game for those who enjoy amazing graphics, intriguing storylines, originality, mythology, challenging puzzles, and an unforgiving gorefest.

Cons: You might lose a little bit of your social life playing this. :)

Overall Review: The graphics have been noticeably improved compared to its predecessor. I recommend playing GoW I first in order to follow the storyline. It would've been nice if the sequel could've read my save file for GoW I so I wouldn't have to start all over with some of the upgrades. :-/
