Let the listing begin!


11. Wii Sports

There are a lot of entertaining mini-games for Wii -- Sports is simply the most influential and replayable one. Designed by the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto, this five-game compilation offers a jolly good time provided you play with others, attempt to acquire "Pro" status, or perfect your skills on one of fifteen training modes. Senior GamePro editor Chris Morell put it best in his review when saying, "Anyone who doesn't find at least some fun in Wii Sports has a heart of coal." Indeed. Wii Sports was (and still is) a delight -- in the right situation, of course.


10. Excite Truck

Available at console launch, Excite Truck was overshadowed by both Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wii Sports. That's a shame because this arcade racer produces a dizzying sense of speed and soaring jumps that make The Fall Guy look like an amateur. Despite its frenetic pace, driving stays manageable due to the forgiving controls. What's more, the unique star system offers a fresh take on finishing first, and the game looks surprisingly shiny when using component cables in 480p. Pay no mind to the mixed reviews, Excite Truck is a great game.


9. Tiger Woods 08

Released on the same day as Metroid Prime 3, it's no wonder this long-running golf game got overlooked. But you'd be remiss to pass it up. Woods 08 improves upon the already enjoyable 07 version in almost every way. Swings aren't as precise as the one-to-one controls found in Super Swing Golf, but simulated movements still provide a realistic sense of achievement, especially when cupping long shots. Overall, PGA Tour 08 is the best Wii golf game to date. If you've grown tired of thumb strokes, and crave more depth and options than Wii Sports Golf affords, you can't go wrong with this one. Go on, be a Tiger.
