Trauma Center: New Blood

Nintendo can add this to their philanthropic list of trying to help people, whether it's to lose weight or just kill time. Wiis have been used in some hospitals for a while now. Ever since its release, these hospitals have been implementing them in their physiotherapy program by making patients do the activities in Wii Sports. But this is one of the first few times that it's being used to aid doctors and, in this case, surgeons. The Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center, in Arizona, has been u...

IGN members Matt Casamassina, Mark Bozon and Lucas Thomas have compiled a list of the twenty Nintendo Wii games that every Wii gamer should own.

It's well structured listing the name, publisher, develop, whether it's Wii exclusive, an overview, a profile picture and a video.

The first game on the list is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and the last is Excite Truck.

According to NewScientist, Kanav Kahol and Marshall Smith of the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, believe that playing on the Wii increases the performance of surgical residents. They ..."

Best games. These really depend on people's tastes. So, different sites have different lists. Here's what QuickJump (qj.net) has as the top games of 2007. Its an all around list that includes all current-gen platforms.
Whether they are awarding games on the high powered PS3, or the innovative and fast-selling DS, they have always looked at gameplay rather than graphics. Calling all Cars is a good example of this, winning an award for it's fun gameplay!

Take note that this is a partial list. Most not...
