3 Stars Good Deal
i bought 3 controllers for a very good price and i already have them!!

5 Stars Gamecube controllers at great price
These are a great price and I bought 2 for my Wii. Both arrived quickly and worked fine.

2 Stars Flimsy, Flimsy, Flimsy.
I don’t know how these third parties get away with this stuff. Barely a few days after buying this product, the z button no longer works, and the analog stick is flimsy at best. It was nice and rigid when I first got it, but it deteriorated quickly.

This item is definately not for hardcore gamers. I can’t even use this thing anymore, and i’m already on the lookout for a replacement.

5 Stars gamecube controller
the controller works perfectly. the package arrived within a few days of ordering it.

This is a great controller, my son’s absolute favorite (and he has many controllers & game systems). The company was great in that their price was the best I found & they shipped promptly. Great transaction!

2 Stars This game has definite frustrations.
My kids are huge Avatar fans, so were really excited to get the game. However, the game is difficult to move through, and the bending is tricky. The controls can’t/won’t “control” the game very well, so the frustrations end up making the kids end up giving up many times and just putting a different game in. Big disappointment for the Avatar fans in the house and the Mom who paid for it.

5 Stars Great Exciting Game!!!!
This is the best Avatar game ever! The action and adventure is great. Graphics are amzing. Just amazing. Incredible game! Buy it if you’re an extreme #1 Avatar Fan.

3 Stars Fun for my little Avatar fan
My six-year-old boy is a huge fan of the Avatar series. My wife and I enjoy it as well. What’s not to like about a series where the main character frets about defeating the big bad without killing him? My son also enjoys playing video games (naturally, within appropriate limits). We bought this game for him for Christmas.

It took him a little bit of getting used to. To “bend,” or manipulate, the elements requires pointing at the screen and holding the B button. Meaning, there are plenty of times when you have to move around while bending, which took him a few days to get right. It worked out fine, since I played with him. Playing as second player is a convenient drop-in/drop-out function.

The puzzles are either EXTREMELY simple or fairly difficult, and there’s no real relationship between where they occur in the game and their difficulty level (some of the most difficult parts to figure out happen in the first few levels). Bosses can be VERY difficult — even I can’t defeat some of them without invincibility. The difficulty level is a major mistake they made in creating a kids’ game. Still, we just bypassed the problem with the invincibility cheat (just enter the code 34737253 at Ember Island). My son was pretty aggravated, since he generally beats games without cheats (Force Unleashed was no problem for him).

The story follows the Fire chapter of the Avatar series fairly closely. It is, however, very short. The addition of a few more levels would have been nice.

In short, this game will please Avatar fans. However, it’s FAR too short and too difficult (and too easy, which is a dumb combination) to warrant a purchase by most gamers.

5 Stars Dedicated to Avatar!!
I bought this for my 11 year old son for Christmas and he loves it!! He is very dedicated to the Avatar cartoon, so this helped with the game!

4 Stars Wii makes it realistic, graphics are a little childish
I know this game is written for a younger generation, so I’m willing to get past the very cartoony graphics of the cut scenes. But the gameplay is fun, and the movements required to “bend” make it pretty realistic. All in all, a good game. I recommend it.

Wii Wireless Sensor Bar

Enjoy and enhance your playing experience with your Wii like never before with this Wireless Sensor Bar. It allows full remote functionality without the hassle of tangled wires connected to the console, which makes for a safer environment, and not to mention a more organized look. The infrared field created by the sensor bar allows for play up to 8 feet away, ideal for active games that require body movement. It is operated by two AA batteries (not included) and has a power saver mode that shuts down when the bar is not in use, which allows for a lengthier playing time. No installation or drivers are required for set up; just place the sensor bar in the Wii’s sensor bar stand (or anywhere desired), turn on the on/off switch in the rear, and you are ready to rock and roll.

1 Star Not worth it
I just bought this bar a few days ago and got it in the mail, today. In a way, it is misleading, telling you it requires 3 AAA batteries, when it only takes two, and mine works LESS than 8 feet away. It’s rather annoying, because even when you are less than 8 feet away, the icon from your Wii mote begins to shake badly, and sometimes fades in and out. I am very upset that I paid money for an item that fails to deliver. If anything, I advise peopel to steer clear of this product!

3 Stars The image is misleading!
The product works fine when you are about 8 feet away, any farther it stops sensing your wiimote. Also, the sensor is actually white with a black strip. It looks nothing like the picture. It won’t match your black TV.

4 Stars It works. Well, sort of.
I received the WII wireless sensor and it works. Except for the on/off switch is backwards. Hehe. It’s actually on when you set it to off and off when you set it to on. But it works just fine.

You’ve probably heard that Nintendo finally launched their awesome rewards program, Club Nintendo, in the US. I heard about it at DSFanboy. Unfortunately, as with all Internet-related things of Nintendo, it’s been impenetrable since its unveiling a few days ago. I’ve made numerous attempts to log into the site, only to be told my password was wrong. Today, I was able to get in for the first time, but it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. Everything is impossibly slow. Punch in a code and wait

As I posted a few days ago our family got a new HDTV for Christmas. Since this was our first forray into HDTV, I didn’t have many of the cables I’d need to fully enjoy the full quality. Specifically, it left me with 3 problems I wanted to fix. First, I want to play Nintendo Wii in widescreen so I needed a non-standard cable. Second, I wanted the audio from the cable box to our audio system to have the optical audio cable. In truth, I’ve wanted this cable for more than 6 years but didn’t want
