Mario Party 8 Makes Gaming Social

Videogames don’t have to be a solitary affair, performed in the dark late at night. Yes, that’s right, I’m talking to you. Peel yourself away from World of Warcraft, gather whatever friends you have left, and get ready to be social again.

That’s because Mario Party 8 is here, and it’s the best way yet to get all your friends together for some fun times with video games. It’s full of crazy minigames that are designed for four people to play simultaneously. It’s much more fun than its predecessors because it’s on the Wii, so it uses the motion-sensing controller that everyone knows is a blast, even if they haven’t played it yet. It’s much more fun than any solo gaming experience because it’s got that one thing that all those games are missing — basic human interaction. So turn the lights on, pick up the phone, and have some fun.
