After dinner friday night, Michael passed out his christmas gifts for everyone. Each of us got a Wii game and my gift was Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

It was so much fun I played the game for about 6-7 hours yesterday. When my friend Marc came over, I went with him to finish up his holiday shopping and get out and away from it, but we ended up getting another Wii nun-chuck in order to come home and play the two-player mode.

I would have never thought to get the game. It's a kids game after all and I didn't like the prequels, so much so they ruined my childhood love of the originals, but I'm completely in love with the game.

Playing the game is like playing with Lego bricks, which was always my favorite toy. Throughout the game you build and destroy things built out of the same Lego bricks you'd be using in the real world, but it's a richer interaction with the effects and animation as well as giving personalities to each of the characters.

Fun times.
