Even the Home Depot has its own Wii game… meet Our House: Party! available on Wii for the low, low price of $40. Coming from Majesco’s pile of Cooking Mama-related wealth, Our House: Party! promises a staggering 175 minigames. Seriously, that has to be a record-setter. Somebody call Guinness. They’ll rate anything. Unless, of course, this is like those old 100-in-1 handheld game units, where 45 of those games were just all variants of Tetris.

Our House: Party! lets you build and maintain your dream house. To collect the necessary components you have to do a Supermarket Sweep-style mad dash through a virtual Home Depot. Hilarious. You can share your “personalized palace” with other Wii owners online. A similar-but-different DS version retails for $20 but only has an embarrassing 100 minigames. Pshaw!

Press release follows. The word “Party!” in the title is meant to make you feel comfortable.

    What I want to know is if it requires you to pick up the wrong parts from Home Depot and figure out how to use them since they don't actually sell the right ones </rant>.

    If you sort the clothes out before starting your work day (or even the night before), it’s really simple to just walk to the laundry room and load the washer. It’ll take all of 30 seconds.

    This is the first I've heard about a home improvement game. I'm in the relocation business and nothing related to homes seems interesting anymore. Guess I'm a bit bored of my work but I'm sure such a game wont get me excited at all.

    Pretty intertaining. Some games are obviously better than others, but part of the fun is running through and figuring out all of the different tasks. would run on other systems just as well as on the wii but hey get some excersise.

    When the burdens of the presidency seem unusually heavy, I always remind myself it could be worse. I could be a mayor.
