Buy/Rent/Ignore - May '08 - Wii Fit (+Blast Works) Edition

Hey guys, I'm about a week late, but here's our May '08 Wii release list. Again, this is all from Amazon, and please post if I'm missing anything:

code

05/05/08 Boom Blox Electronic Arts 05/05/08 Speed Racer: The Videogame Warner Bros. 05/05/08 The DOG Island Ubisoft 05/05/08 Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk XS Games 05/12/08 We Ski Namco Bandai 05/12/08 Deca Sports Konami 05/12/08 Castle of Shikigami III Aksys Games 05/14/08 Rygar: The Battle of Argus Tecmo 05/15/08 The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Disney Interactive Studios 05/19/08 Wii Fit Nintendo 05/19/08 Top Spin 3 2K Sports 05/26/08 Blast Works: Build, Trade & Destroy Majesco 05/26/08 Death Jr. Root of Evil Eidos 05/26/08 The Monkey King: The Legend Begins Tommo 05/26/08 Emergency Heroes Ubisoft

Interesting notes:
Castle of Shikigami III and The Monkey King: The Legend Begins were pushed back to this month from earlier releases.

Buy:
Blast Works: Build, Trade & Destroy
Castle of Shikigami III
Rygar: The Battle of Argus

Rent:
Boom Blox
Deca Sports
The Monkey King: The Legend Begins
Wii Fit

Ignore:
Everything else

So I might get Wii Fit. It depends. I've also heard good things lately about Boom Blox, so it might merit some consideration.

Oh, and buy Blast Works for the love of God. The game will be amazing. I almost made this edition the Blast Works Edition if it weren't for how big of an impact Wii Fit will have.




Discuss.

Previous Editions:

November '07 - Super Mario Galaxy Edition
January '08 - No More Heroes Edition
February '08 - Dragon Quest Swords Edition
March '08 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl Edition
April '08 - Mario Kart Wii Edition

I'm probably just going to go with Wiiware this month, and save my money. Blast Works and Boom Blox does look interesting though, so I may try and give those at least a rent. I would get Wii Fit, but I know I wouldn't be able to keep up with it, so there really isn't any point. Perhaps I'll pick it up if some future titles use the Wiibo in a cool way, but beyond that, I think I'll skip it.

^^^ = Same here. None of those appeal to me.
