its BRILLLLIANNNTTTTT !!!

We got a package deal, wii with 4 games, then had to buy an extra controller with another chucky thing which again came with a free game. Mario Kart is awesome, especially if your going online (yep its got wifi !! built in)

I went back home to Brum over the weekend and had a mass 4-5 hour session with some old friends on the wii....very funny !!!

:cheers:

I got a game called Ghost Squad over the weekend, and you basically clip both controllers into a gun shaped piece of plastic, and then you have a machine gun! The game is very similar to the arcade game Time Crisis. Well worth it, and great fun.

I've got the Xbox 360 too, but the Wii is getting far more playtime.

We've a Wii and a PS3 in the house and they sort of get equal use between all of us - I find some of the Wii games a bit childish but they can be good fun all the same!

Got Guitar Hero for the PS3 a month ago - brilliant fun for someone who can't play a note on a real Guitar.... ;)

I have a question about the wii, If I was sitting at home could I arrange a game with Si when he is in England, or is the internet gameplay thingy totally random.

I know in Mario Kart that you can enter "Friend Numbers" (Not sure if that is the correct term) and arrange online play that way. :joker:
