Ala Cuisine!

I'm not much of a video game player, but when I found out they released an Iron Chef America game for Wii, I had to try it!
The game is pretty good...like all wii games it's a matter of learning movements (chop, stir, slice, etc) . There are 15 "secret ingredients", and roughly 8 variations of dishes for each, which gets a little repetitive after a bit. I found myself getting a little bored after an hour, as it doesn't seem like there is any challenge...as long as you complete the dishes, you win the challenge (from what I can tell...I havent lost one yet, and I'm at "4 stars" now).
There is a Vs. option, and I had a blast watching my 7 yr old son trying to whoop me (it was 50/50)...All in all, it was an ok game...nothing impressive, but still a nice boredom releiver and a cool addition to a foodies shelf.

We have bought a Wii this year as a 'family' present, not so sure about the cooking game though, mind you it would probably be fun for the family to watch me play, cos I never cook, so it would be a first.
And just out of curiosity, with regards to last post, what is an '8 pointer'. I shoot myself, but, pigeons and vermin, the beauty of pigeon shooting is it is all year round.
Anyway, thanks for putting a comment on my blog, and have a great Christmas.

8 pointer just refers to the number of tines on a bucks antlers...I've been crazy buzy since Thanksgiving, but hope to get some pics up along with a new post.
Fer what its worth, if you can get somone to cook up a few of those pigeon breasts, do so...they are incredibly yummy :)
