A Wii Bit of Information
I could not help myself with the title of this section, I apologise. However the Nintendo Wii has been one of the most successful consoles in recent years, while its sales may not have exceeded those of it's competitors, no other console has quite the same ability to bring you and your friends together for a party/ Whether it is a children's party or an adult drinking session, the Wii provides hours of entertainment, with a wide variety of Nintendo Wii games.
I have to admit that compiling this list of the Top Ten Wii Games was the most fun I have had while writing in a long time. When I was rocking away on Wii Rock Band, Boxing my way against my opponents, or taking Mario to the Olympics, all the time I was enjoying myself, as well as taking notes.

Top Ten Wii Games
So without further ado, let me bring you the best Wii games with my Top Ten Nintendo Wii Games list!
Wii Fit
10) Wii Fit
This game may not be one of the latest Wii games, but it is one of most popular! The Wii Fit is not only a great way to improve your health, but it is also a huge amount of fun!
The Wii Fit tests four key areas of your bodies abilities to determine your BMI (Body Mass index) and your Wii Fit age. The four areas you will find on the Wii Fit Game are,
Strength Training
Aerobics
Yoga
Balance Games
The combination of these four key areas are designed to greatly increase your bodies health, while providing you with endless entertainment.
One of my favourite areas of the Wii fit game is it's statistics tracking. This not only allows me to follow my progress on one of the best Wii games, but it also allows me to compare my progress against that of my friends and family. This is perfect for those of you who like myself, have a competitive edge.
For this reason the Wii Fit easily makes it in to my top ten Wii games, in fact the only reason it is only at number ten, is because it is so well known already! Wii Fit is an amazing Wii game which helps keep you fit, as well as entertained!
Top Wii Games
9) New Super Mario Brothers
I remember playing my first Mario game on my green screened gameboy when I was a kid. Unfortunately my parents never stretched to buying me a console till I picked up my Nintendo 64 at a carboot for £50. Nevertheless, Super Mario Bros. has always held a special place in my heart, and the Wii New Super Mario Brothers expertly combines special Wii features with classic gameplay and innovative maps.
The solo play in New Super Mario Brothers makes the game worth it all on it's own. I spent hours fighting my way through levels, and enjoyed every minute of it. The solo player is however just a taste of the co-op mode, in which up to four people at a time can take on the New Super Mario Bros for the Wii.
Whether you play New Super Mario Bros. by yourself or with friends, it is a game that you should own, the mix of nostalgia and unbeatable gameplay keep Mario fresh in my Top Ten Wii games list!

8) Wii LEGO Rock Band
I don't know why I found LEGO Rock Band more entertaining than the original Rock Band which has been released for the Wii. Perhaps it was because of the family friendly setting. While Wii Rock Band was good for a drunken session with my mates, Wii LEGO Rock Band entertained me, my friends, and their children.
LEGO Rock Band comes with a 'Super' easy mode, which allows the kids to rock along with you to some of the greatest rock classics the world has known, all to the accompaniment of Lego characters. Wii Lego Rock Band combines all the fun of the Rock Band series with the fun and entertainment of Lego. With comedic moments built in to the Lego Rock Band game you will find Lego Rock Band a game which you will never put down.
Lego Rock Band is one of my favorite Wii Games, its replayability, and it's group fun, all make Lego Rock Band one of the Best Wii Games available for Christmas, or any other occasion!
On a side note, I did find LEGO Rock Band to be more polished than the Original Rock Band for the Wii, I'm not sure why, but it felt like more effort had been put in to it!
Zelda Wii
7) The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Wii
The Legend of Zelda games have always been a favorite of mine, and The Legend of Zelda for Wii is no exception. I cannot help but love the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess for the Wii, it's in depth gameplay, mixed with realistic movements for your sword, bow and arrow, make for compelling gaming.
The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess entails all the puzzle solving, action and adventure which helped keep its predecessors addictive and successful. The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess is no exception, the game takes many twists and turns as you battle with your Wii remote. This easily makes one of the best Wii games available, and though the Zelda title is pretty old, the gameplay remains as strong and compelling as ever.
Mario Kart Wii
6) Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart Wii is one of the latest in the Mario Kart series, and with its new routes, special abilities, and weapons, the game is more compelling than ever before. Mario Kart Wii is an amazing game in it's own right, but where it gets really fun, is multiplayer.
The frustration, the laughs, the accidents, and the near loss of the Wii controller on several occasions made 3 nights in a row of pure entertainment with Mario Kart Wii. This is one of my all time favorite party games, it is a huge amount of fun and incredibly addictive.
Playing Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii really is fun for all ages, while you can play comfortably with the basic controls, perfecting the drifts, boosts, and some weapons can be a challenge, which makes a huge amount of difference when you are playing your friends. If you are looking for a fun simple Wii game which you and your friends can pick up and play, Mario Kart Wii is the perfect choice!
I have to admit I was very tempted to place Mario Cart Wii higher in my list of the Best Wii Games, however there is some close competition out there, and a lot of Wii games that are jsut as good as Mario Kart Wii!
Top Nintendo Wii Game
5) Tony Hawk Ride for Nintendo Wii
I have to admit right from the start that I sucked badly at Tony Hawks Ride. Maybe this is because I suck at real life skateboarding though. Tony Hawk Ride for the Wii is a new breed in skateboarding games, with the Wii board controller you will find yourself having to do realistic movements to pull off tricks on screen.
Despite its challenging controller setup, and my failure to master it. I have to applaud Neversoft for creating a game which cannot just be picked up and played, and is instead marketed at people who already have a talent. I can only hope that a guitar hero is released with a real guitar attachment, teaching Wii players real skills The new Tony Hawks Ride is one of the best Nintendo Wii games that I have seen for a while now, mostly because they have dared to try something new in a market which is always in danger of stagnation.
For those of us who do not skateboard on a regular basis, Tony Hawk's Ride may be more frustrating than challenging, however practice and persistence will pay off. The easy mode removes movement, giving you complete freedom to master the tricks, and medium difficulty makes this Wii game incorporate movement and tricks. expert, is however only for the experts.

The Best Wii Game
1) Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Reflex Edition for Wii
Call of Duty 4 Reflex Edition for Wii is by far the best Wii game out there at the moment. It easily matches the other consoles in playability, has all the customizations, and has the benefit of the Wii movement controllers to give you a completely immersing Call of Duty 4 experience.
In the Call of Duty 4 Wii Reflex edition you can use your Wii controller plus nunchuck, or a Wii Zapper to give you complete control of your character as you roam the maps laying waste to your enemies.
Call of Duty 4 Reflex edition has a beautifully crafted single player campaign, but as with the rest of the series, it's true challenge lays in Multiplayer. COD4 Reflex Edition for the Nintendo Wii has all the benefits of Call of Duty on other formats, but with accurate movement tracking to truely make you part of the action.
All in all this easily makes my number one spot in my top ten Wii games!
