Nintendo Revolution Wii may not have an official release date yet, but officials hope Wii makes it out sometime in 2006. Nintendo says they are committed to a fourth quarter 2006 release of their next generation console. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii also has a fourth quarter release date. Other Wii titles by Nintendo include Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Warioware: Smooth Moves.

Puzzle Solitaire is an inventive twist on the old PC favorite Solitaire. Take the basics of Solitaire, mix together with puzzle boards and you have Puzzle Solitaire. Each level has a puzzle board represented by a picture with squares drawn on it. The squares represent markers for cards. Cards can be placed onto the board only if they are in sequential order of one of the cards they are next to. Two modes, Arcade and Classic, mix up the fun of this addictive game.

There is a demo version available for download. It gives you an hour of play. This game is so fun that you’ll want to make sure you have some time on your hands before playing.

The latest firmware upgrade for the Sony PSP allows for video game demos to be downloaded and played. While the selection is very limited–as there is only one game available–this feature has great potential.

Demos for consoles and handhelds are harder to come by than demos for the PC. PC demos are easily downloaded but such is not the case for the console counterparts. Usually to get demos you have to buy a magazine that has a special promo disk with it. Sometimes I have received demos from the Sony Underground, but it’s been for the PlayStation.

The one demo available, LocoRobo, is fun to play. It reminds me of the Partridge family, might be due to the singing. LocoRobo is different, quirky, and has interesting gameplay. Worth checking out though.
