My older son, Xavier, is immensely excited about the upcoming release of Mario Party 8 for the Wii.  He's old enough to understand time more, so he went with me to the game store and we reserved it -- the past week has been a daily countdown to when it would be out.  Much to my surprise, my wife is interested in us getting the game so we have something that all 4 of us can play.  Mario Party 8, if it is like the others in the series, is probably going to be some good simple fun (if nothing all too deep), and hey, it provided a great excuse to explain the concept of "Wednesday".
