While trolling on the internet, I came across this site; WiiSave.com. WiiSave is an awesome idea for hardcore cheaters. Basically users have completed their game, saved the file down to an SD card, then ripped that save game file from the SD card and uploaded it to the site making it available for others to do the same. So if you are looking to get past "Bunnies don't close doors" on Raving Rabbits, this is your best bet. Just find the title you are looking for, download it to your computer, then transfer it to an SD card, put the SD in the Wii and then transfer the save game to your Wii's internal memory and you should be good to go.
The only hitch is the that the directory structure for Wii games needs to be replicated perfectly for a save game to work and be recognized on the SD card. That directory structure is as follows:
\private\wii\title\GAME\data.bin
You just need to replace "GAME" with the correct code for each game and those codes are easy to decipher,
Game Identifiers:
1st letter = System (R = Wii) (N
= N64)
2nd letter = Game Name (Z for Zelda)
3rd letter = Game Name (D for Zelda)
4th letter = Language (E = English)
If this is somehow still too complicated for you, < ...

After a long Thanksgiving break and a death in the family for two of our staffers, we are back once again. This week look for our first reviews of Wii games. (Wii-views if you will...) But until then enjoy this video of a little girl learning how to play Wii golf. So turn up your speakers, stay tuned for the whole thing and don't look away until its over because this is truly what Nintendo has invisioned for the future; casual game time between fathers and daughters.

Today is a big day for gaming, especially for Microsoft. Today is the day when all of the promises of the future that we've been hearing for so many years, finally start to happen. Today is the day when your consoles start to become home media centers and not just a gaming console. Sure all 3 systems, Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3, can read that isn't gaming related, but the Xbox 360 is the first one to introduce downloadable content at this kind of level. Feel like watching Wrath of Kahn in HD? Miss an episode of South Park? You can download them as of today, off of Xbox Live.
The pricing seems to be a bit high, roughly a dollar more than an iTunes equivalent, but the real problem with the system is that once you've paid for it and downloaded it, you can't move the show or movie over to a portable device. Is it just me or is this retarded? Shouldn't moving the shows over to Microsoft's Zune be a no-brainer? This just doesn't make any sense, especially since Microsoft keeps denying the existance of a larger hard drive, even though this current system will eat up what is left of your drive in no time.
Enough bitching, here's the list and it is quite impressive.

First Came the Boobs, Now Comes the Taco. |

When PC Gamer asked a PS3 scalper if they would trade their place in line and sign a waiver saying that they would never, EVER own a PS3 in exchange for a $7500 custom Falcon PC, it was an easy call to make; Of course we would take the PC, just like he did. This next offer, reported by Gamestop is a little different.
Taco Bell, geniuses behind the offered a free taco to everyone in the world if a piece of the crashing MIR Spacestation hit a Floating Taco Bell target in the middle of the ocean, have offered one lucky gamer to trade their Playstation 3 for a life-time supply of Taco Bell. Well, $12,500 worth of Taco Bell food. If only one of the homeless people who stood held a place in line for scalpers had gotten word of this deal, maybe someone would've jumped on it. No word if Taco Bell will cover the forth-coming triple bypass.

Taco Bell offers tacos for life for a PS3
Beans, cheese, tortilla hawker willing to exchange one of Sony's in-demand consoles for $12k worth of tacos; PS3 will be donated to charity.
Several gamers waiting in line over the weekend for a PlayStation 3 hoped to make thousands of dollars by reselling the console to those willing to pay extraordinary prices. One gamer, however, is guaranteed to make $12,500... though not in American currency. Taco Bell, the Chihuahua-led Mexican fast-food dealer, is offering $12,500 in Taco Bell bucks (which the chain considers a lifetime supply) to the first gamer willing to part with a new PS3. T ...

We are setting our alarm clocks early Sunday morning to scarf down a greasy breakfast at our local BK Lounge and score one of three exclusive Burger King King Xbox games, which are scheduled to go on sale Sunday morning, November 19th. The games can be played on either the Xbox or the Xbox 360 and feature 360 achievements. They will set you back $3.99/each, and you have to buy a value meal for each game you purchase, so skip the Frosted Flakes and opt for a heart attack sandwich instead. Is it a shameless marketing ploy to sell more value meals to the gamer demographic? Of course it is. Are we going to buy 2 copies of each game anyway for our collection? Of course we are….we’re hardcore gamers. Here is the lowdown on the games:
Pocketbike Racer
- Starring several BK mascots, including: the King, Subservient Chicken, Whopper Jr., and oddly enough, Brooke Burke.
- Five levels
- Multiplayer races (up to 4 people on the same system, or 8 over Xbox Live.
Big Bumpin- Starring the BK mascots
- Theme park bumper car action with road blocks like saws and bottomless pits
- 4 players and online multiplayer
Sneak King
- Splinter Cell type “sneak and crouch” action…only with fast food
- Gamers have to find hungry people in setting such as a logging yard, a construction site, downtown, and the suburbs

The mayhem surrounding the launch of the PS3 has reached a new low. First came the tents outside of Best Buy. Next came the yelling, pushing and shoving. Soon came the shootings, tramplings and robberies. And now… the final sign that people are taking the whole PS3 phenomenon a little too far: boobies. Yes, we said boobies. Apparently gamers are so hypnotized at the thought of a real-live female breast, that people think they can sell their PS3 more effectively on EBay just by including a shot of a PS3 next to someone's perky set of C cups. Check out the pics after the jump (nsfw), and shake your heads in amazement. We can only hope that this is a sign of desperation from the scalpers and that the PS3 prices are starting to drop. As for the guy who photoshoped an internet porn model with his PS3 and tried to pass it off as his girlfriend… you’re not fooling anyone, man.
