Game Fodder: Video Game News and Reviews

"Carnival Games" Available -- and Cute

Another summer is coming to a close. Time for me to reflect on so many sno-cones of carnivals past. Now you can relive the magic; step right up and get ready to purchase 2K's latest Wii title, "Carnival Games."

Up to 4 players can frenzy over such fun titles as Alley Ball, Clown Splash, Shooting Gallery, Balloon Darts, Test Your Strength, Milk Can Throw, Ring Toss, Lucky Cups, Hoops, Day at the Races, Dunk Tank, and my personal specialty -- Frog Leap. I'm the friggin' frog master!

As far as I know, it's only for the Wii, which makes total sense, since it's more of a family title -- sort of Nintendo's M.O. It also works well with the Wii remote, acting as a frog flinger, rings for a-tossin', and all the rest. There's even virtual crap you can win. Alas, no framed Motley Crue or Kiss mirrors.

Check out the trailer online. From there, all you need is a couple of candy apples, $39.99, and you're ready to roll. -- Rachel Cericola
