Food Network: Cook or Be Cooked - a Lame Duck or a real new cooking game for the Wii?

Ever since the first Cooking Mama - we've seen more than our fair share of cooking type games for the Wii.

This new one - from the Food Network is a bit different though.

Typically the food Wii games involve challenges to get users doing kitchen actions. With Cook or Be Cooked, the claim is that they have real recipes and you might actually learn to cook.

I'm not so sure I'll use the wii to learn how to cook, but hey you never know and it's a bit different than anything else so far seen on the Wii.

Wii Fit Plus - Broken in Canada!! - Metric only, no option for LBS!!

Attention Canadians!! Nintendo has a CRITICAL BUG in Wii Fit Plus.

As opposed to Wii Fit which provide measurements in pounds and inches, Wii Fit Plus only provides kilograms and centimeters!

There is no option of Canadian to change the setting! That's WRONG.

Most doctors in Canada measure their patients in pounds and inches and to have metric - when Wii Fit didn't, is a  HUGE FLAW.

The only workaround is to go into your Wii menu system settings and change your region to the U.S. That will screw you up for updates and the wii shop.
