Wii Sports is always the favourite, but this year Mario and Sonic at the Olympics got more playtime. Even with the less then impressive reviews, I was really surprised at how fun Olympics was. Definitely worth a look. I always take my Wii back to my parents for xmas and it is always a hit.

I decide when its done based on the internal temperature, not wall clock, but knowing the estimated cooking time before you get started is always nice. I actually cooked it a little shorter this year than last. I think some of the guests would have preferred it slightly more well done, but as far as I'm concerned, it was excellent. The Wii was also a huge hit here. We also have Wii Winter Sports. I think you are right - even with no other games this would make a really fun family game machine.
