It's more fun to ask them questions. Watch them melt down in confusion. Start with, what company do you represent...and it goes down hill from there. You can always end with 'what purpose do you serve?" which usually gets security wandering over your way.

It sounded interesting until I saw the Nintendo execs demonstrating it at E3. At that point, I wanted to stick sharp pencils in my ears so that I did not have to listen. I am hoping it can enhance the understanding of music for kids who play but it seems to me like just another expensive noisy toy that end up in the basement after a few weeks.

So, do the video game publishers send out copies to their 'friends' with the implicit threat that if the review is brutal, the next advanced copy may be a little slow getting to the writer's doorstep. Does this lead to the question whether or not to trust the first reviews anyway? And we wonder why a 7.5 out of 10 is really more of a 'this game sucks but we can't write that' situation. If I have to spend $50 on a game, I don't want some hastily published review with a thumbs up.

Wii Music - wins the "NEVER COMING INTO MY HOUSE" award. I have heard noisy toys before and this is a nightmare. Five screechy electronic toys that sound like cheese graters on my spine even in the demo. OMG, are they insane! That game will be a word-of-mouth nightmare for them with parents once they realize how bad it is. Why not sell it with Q-tip cotton balls for parents' ears.

Having seen the Nintendo presentation via webcast, it was horrifying how little Cammie Dunaway seemed to be able to use the Wii products. Ever play what you sell? Even if she is relatively new, then someone should make sure she knows how to play before putting her up there.

Betty Crocker is dead and rotting in her grave...pretty much like this game before it ever gets released!
