Wii

Tuesday night gave me the opportunity to try out the latest in gaming marvel, the Nintendo Wii.

The console uses
wireless controller which are sensitive to movement, in all three dimensions, it's really great fun!


Wii Sports come with all the consoles!! It includes: tennis, bowling, golf, baseball and our favourite boxing!!! All are 2-4 players, very good for gatherings!

Although the controllers aren't fantastically responsive it is very challenging to win. You can duck, punch, hook go for the ribs etc etc. At a price
of £180 (for the basic console) it is very reasonable compared to the PS3, I would recommend all to get one or at least have a go!

I'm told games like Zelda are really good for the one player and there is also some stranger games like WarioWare:

"WarioWare: Smooth Moves is a collection of "microgames" based on simple actions which usually last fewer than five seconds each. The microgames are delivered in rapid succession, presenting the player with the game play screen and a short instruction hinting at the action that must be accomplished. If a player makes four mistakes over the course of one set of microgames, they must start over from the beginning of the set"

The comment from my friend was: "It's an elephant on speed man"...... when you play you'll see what that means!!!

Anyway, I do believe that the Uni, Church and my home should all invest in one! It's good for keeping fit and will make us more competitive!!!

I gotta get me one a' these babies :)

They should make a much heavier controller, so you can pump those guns while blasting creeps...

Cheers for playing on Sunday am. Good work as usual!

(PS got a new kids song for next time we're on in the morning. like the lyrics?:
Rain is wet, but the sea’s still wetter
Good is great, but the best is better
Trains are fast, but a plane goes faster
Sticks can’t stick like a sticking plaster

CHORUS
And God is bigger than anything
Cause he made everything, and that includes anything
So anything you think of, anything at all
Next to God it’s gonna look pretty small

Spiders are scary but a monster’s scarier
Beards are hairy but a hare is hairier
A hot dog’s hot, but not like a fire
Trees grow high but the sky’s still higher

(repeat chorus)
It'll have a kind of howlin' wolf blues riff underneath it. Think you can do that?
