Just got gamefly and a wii about 2 weeks ago. Need some good wii game to try. Also I have a 5 year old son to keep in mind when renting games.

Oh yeah I am getting Godzilla and some brain academy game. Two at a time. I think next I got Mario Galaxy coming.
 
Mario Galaxy for sure. Also Zelda: Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime.

I am for sure going to try these, but I also have a 5 year old son and a wife to think about. I want her to play with me so I don't feel so bad about spending money on this thing.

Is the Raymon rabbits any good?

Also is there a better online game rental service out there?

?

For about an hour which by then you will have played and repeated all the mini-games ad-naseum.

Really the list is thin:
Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime
Zelda
Resident Evil
WiiSports (you should already have)
WiiPlay
Super Paper Mario
Mario Strikers
some would say Mario and Sonic Olympics, but I haven't tried it yet am renting it this weekend.
 
I have WiiPlay, WiiSports and Monter Truck Arena. This Monster Truck Arena has about the worst graphics I have ever seen. Looks like sandpaper. The gameplay isn't the best either, but hey It only spent 20 bucks on it. Minus my friends 10% discount.

My friend bought Mario and Sonic Olympics. It is fun, but alot like the Mario Parties.

I will have to buy Mario Party 8, cause my wife loves them.

SSX Blur is great, and so is Super Swing Golf. Super Swing Golf Season 2 was just released a few days ago, and if it's half as good as the first one we're in for a treat.

If you wanna get your zombie holocaust on, you can't go wrong with Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. It features two-player co-op play, it expands the story of the RE universe, and honestly, it's just plain awesome. It reminds me of the old on-rails shooters that I used to play in the arcade all the time, like House of the Dead.

If you want things to play w/ the wife and family, grab a copy of Mario Party Whatever-number-they're-up-to-now, 'cause it's not too bad, really. Bust-A-Move Bash is supposedly pretty good, but as easy as all-get-out. Rayman Raving Rabbids is supposed to be pretty good, but it honestly never appealed to me.

Oh, Excite Truck! Your son will LOVE Excite Truck!
 
Rayman: Ravin Rabbids is hillarious, I had a great time with it. Also consider Harry Potter, it helped convince one of my Wii hatin friends.
 
Thanks Oni. Yeah my son needs a good easy game for him to play. Also I have a friend that comes over and wii need a good co-op game. So Excite Truck and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles are going on my list.

I am going to probably buy Mario Party 8 for my wife. " need to keep her happy ":beer:
 
you might want to check out the two Trauma Center games. I have never played them on the Wii but I have the first one for DS and it's great! I'll probably buy Second Blood after I beat the DS version. Your wife might like that one, they really are a lot more fun than they sound.

Raving Rabbids is fun...but I can't speak too much on the multi-player as my roommate never wanted to play but the games are fun.
 
I second Ghost_recon. Ive heard nothing but good things about MP3, but i have played Galaxy and zelda and they are awesome.
