San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) October 29, 2009 -- No one wants to spend good money on bad video games. Just in time for the holidays, product recommendation engine Wize.com is making it easy for Wii gamers to choose great games - and avoid those that are bad - with the 2009 Wize Choice Awards for Wii Games (http://wize.com/2009-wize-choice-awards-wii-games). The games given Wize Choice Awards are those rated the best in thousands of reviews from gaming fans across the Web. These are Mario Kart, High School Musical and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Those panned by gamers - Far Cry: Vengeance, AMF Bowling Pinbusters and Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum - received UnWize Choice Awards, so video game enthusiasts (http://wize.com/reviews/video-game-enthusiasts) know to stay far away. Reviews of these games cited poor graphics, bad characters and unresponsiveness to Wii controllers as the key reasons to avoid these games.
The Wize Choice Awards are selected using the patent-pending Wize Product Research Engine, which analyzes millions of online product reviews. It allows consumers to search for products using natural, everyday language - "I want the best Wii games for kids (http://wize.com/wii-games)" - and bases its findings on what consumers have said is important.
