Nintendo Wii

I bought a Nintendo Wii, it was not easy I’ve spent hours trying to source one eventually the guys over at Stocknetwork delivered the goods, they notified me by email that the someone would have stock the next morning and managed to get it in the 10 minutes they had stock.
I bought a few games apart from the Wii Sport. I got Need for Speed Carbon, Zelda and Call of Duty 3.
The console is totally addictive and I wouldn’t have thought it but the Wii Sports package is the killer. Call of Duty totally disappoints due to the difficult controls, Need for Speed is fun I like driving with the nunchuck it’s the first driving game that I actually manage to play well since before I was stuck with keyboards and xbox controls, neither great for driving. The most time though is spent in Wii Sports so far.
The appeal of the Wii Sports is its simplicity, I tried as an experiment to get my girlfriend into playing something on the Xbox – we tried Gotham 1 and 2, Unreal Tournament and The Suffering, the controls were just no good but she immediately got the hang of the Wii controls and is totally into playing tennis. My 2nd set of controllers are on their way then we can play against each other which should proof fun but might ultimately convince me to get a bigger tv for the split screen.
While its simplistic it also has some depth, Tennis is the best of the lot and you can really control the ball well, put on some spin, control the power of your strokes etc, all this without the added hassle of maneuvering your men since the console takes care of running to the balls for you. I think these party games are going to be the genre that dominates, I’m already dying to get my hands on Wii Play.
Anyway, this console kicks arse, if you’ve got one my Wii number is 1405 1552 0430 8836. Drop me a line with your console number and be sure to enable Mingling! If you don’t want your number out in the open just say so when you leave a comment here and I won’t approve it.
