If you Wii fans are getting tired of GI and EGM slamming the Wii all the time, then pick up the recent issue of Time magazine because this is their "Best Inventions of 2007" issue. Of course the Iphone got the top honor which is no surprise, but there is a sidebar that talks about gaming stuff primarily the Wii and DS.

Nintendo Wii

Kids, grownups, seniors-they all love the Wii and its get-up-off-the-couch approach. New releases like Boogie and Carnival Games and a new Zapper are keepin' it fresh, even for those who managed to snag one of these hot consoles last season.

Nintendo DS

We dig the PSP2, the latest Playstation handheld, but the DS is cheaper and has more games for kids. The clamshell design offers great game play, and you can use wi-fi to compete against your pals. Hot game this holiday season: Mario Party DS.

Yeah I wasn't thrilled with their game suggestions. To make it sound better for the Wii replace Boogie and Carnival games with Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy and for the DS, change Mario Party DS to Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

Also they mentioned the Halo 3 360

Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition

Painted to match Master Cheif's armor. Like the regular Xbox 360, this one comes with a 20gig hard drive and an HDMI port so you can see action in HD (cable not included). Arty wireless controllers ($60 each) add a welcome splash of color to the set. Halo 3 the game not included.

That last line cracks me up. You think Microsoft could thrown in Halo 3 with the package and just upped the price by $60 to make it complete.

But no mention of the PS3 which made their list of things that went from "boom to bust."

They chose the platforms for the wrong reasons (mostly). I didn't buy a Wii to play with Carnival Games, and ESPECIALLY not Boogie. Also, these kind of magazines and newspapers unfortunately have no idea what they are talking about, they referred to the PSP Slim as the "PSP2"... last I checked, the DS is still in the same generation as the PSP.

It's still good praise though. :)
