ATTENTION PARENTS: HOLIDAY DEAL ALERT!

Do you have kids who like video games? How about boyfriends, girlfriends, or parents?

Well, here's your chance to be amazing.


From now until Wednesday, Toys 'R' Us is having a sale on games for the Wii. For any two Wii games you buy, you can get one free. This has got to be the cheapest deal for Wii games that you could get your kid (minus Black Friday, but don't kid yourselves, this will be WAY more relaxing). Don't miss out, you could be a hero this holiday season.

Suggestions for what to buy, you say? Well let's go.

For the single player:
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Super Paper Mario
- Cooking Mama Cook Off
- Metroid Prime 3 Corruption
- Resident Evil 4 (for big kids, of course)
- LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
- Sonic and the Secret Rings
- Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis

For the multi-players (two or more kids):
- WarioWare: Smooth Moves
- Wii Play
- Guitar Hero III (although one kid would love this, too)

You're welcome - nobody wants an angry little one on the holiday season.

Oh, and "Rock Band" drops tonight at midnight. Word on the street is that if your kid wants it this Christmas, you better start camping tonight at your local Wal-Mart (or other 24-hour video game retailer). There may not be another shipment available until after the holiday.
