Wii Reserve Update

Posted on Jun 8, 2007 02:45:30 PM

Hello gamers and how are you doing this fine afternoon? This is just a quick update informing you as to what games you can go reserve now at your local Gamestore. They are (in no particular order):

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles

Geometry Wars

Rayman 2

Backyard Football

My informant has informed me that Geometry Wars is currently listed at $40.00!! A bit steep if you ask me but a welcome addition non-the-less. Which titles are you looking forward to?
