Wii!!
Well, the Wii FINALLY arrived today. It was supposed to be here 5 days ago, but UPS suddenly decided that they can’t find my address (despite having delivered numerous packages over the past two weeks, all of which also came from Amazon). Anyway, Lisa and I busted out Wii Sports Bowling tonight. It’s fun…lots of fun. It will be even better when we get a second controller (we’re having all sorts of problems tracking one down).
I got a chance to quickly play the other Wii Sports games tonight as well. Tennis is surprisingly fun, Golf looks like it could be enjoyable (better than all the PC golf games I’ve played in the past), Baseball is only okay (it’s really just home run derby) and boxing was fun but the controls seemed lacking.
We’ll have to play some of the other games we got in the coming days. I’m looking forward to Zelda the most, but the others look like fun too.

The Wii still rules. I still need to pick up Zelda, but Sports (Tennis and Bowling) was a great hit among family members back east and I’ve had fun with Red Steel and Far Cry: Vengance — if for no other reason than they’re the first FPSes that I’ve really enjoyed playing on a console because I don’t have to use my thumb to move a joystick to aim.
