Seems silly, I haven't actually owned a game console since the Sega Genesis - and even that one might have been owned by Mike, I don't know for sure. But this I can tell ya - the new Nintendo Wii - by itself is the greatest revolution in home video games since Pong.
So the deal with this is, you get to play body english on a video game. That sounds straight forward enough but let me tell you, this makes watching others play just as fun as playing yourself. Plus, it is immediately playable by pretty much everyone.
It comes with a little Sports Pak that includes tennis, boxing, golf, bowling, and baseball. Each opportunity for cuteness is in the game, the little playskool like figures running around but not so much as to make you think this is a girlie system. It may not be as powerful graphically as the PS3, but its cheaper and loads more fun. Heck, as it is you might not want to buy another game as the Sports Pak is more than enough entertainment.
It does require a warning, however - and believe me, I am sore in my back and arm from baseball and the bowling game. Crazy at it sounds - it wasn't just me, even 20 year old Jillian is sore! So - if you happen to have a Wii, please send me your friend code so our Wii peeps can see each other - heck, even challenge each other in some sports...?
