more importantly, does it really matter? It is true that our world has been inundated with laziness that is only perpetuated by video game consoles and the ever expanding use of the internet. I haven’t owned a console in ages but ironically enough my last console was a Nintendo so it’s quite fitting that I’ve continued the trend. I’ll admit that we’ve been keeping an eye out for available Wii’s seeing as they’re a hot commodity right now and very hard to come by. When we made a random call to Zavvi and discovered they had a shipment coming in the adventure began. We threw on our coats and we were off to the store. The Zavvi salespeople had smirks on their faces as a myriad of people were mulling around having the discovered the same information about the Wii shipment…..and finally the word came. They shipment had arrived and we were the proud owners of brand new Nintendo Wii. That’s how it all began and this is how it progressed. The games are interactive and truly do make you move to dig that tennis ball, or go for that upper cut in the boxing ring. I’ll admit, it’s nothing like the real physical activity but it comes in at a close 17th place (with 1st – 16th being actually forms of physical activity).This obviously only applies to the sports games….but as you can see we’ve also picked up the infamous Guitar Hero III which also has been difficult to come by. How it all panned out
for us I’m not sure but needless to say the rendition of Dance Dance Revolution in the form of flittering fingers on a fake guitar is extremely addictive. I’ve battled a virtual Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine as well as Guns N’Roses’ SLASH and inevitably come out victorious…albeit on the Easy setting. Practice makes perfect.I also understand the warnings that are heeded my Nintendo about ensuring adequate space between players when negotiating two players game. All I have to say that Jeff’s arm is gonna hurt for while after our vicious tennis match.
