Wii: Good Shall Come of Computer Games
December 6th 2006 01:30
I’m really not a fan of computer games. I’m too much a fan of ‘doing something’, as in something that very much gives you something in the end, like a finished product, or a long sense of calm, or keeps your brain and/or body active. Hence, it’s pretty rare that any kind of computer game/console advancement gives me much excitement.
However, the Wii, I have to admit, leaves me pretty darned exited.
Computer games have always been about sitting, and exercising has always been about moving. However, with the Wii, there is not such distinction. The Wii lets you jump around, swinging your limbs broadly, or so it seems. This to me, is unspeakably awesome. A computer console that’s set up in a way that makes it part of the solution, not part of the problem. Like I said, I’m not a big computer person, but if Santa brought me a Wii, I wouldn’t say no.

Would be good for the kiddies who don't go out to play sport because they normally spend hours playing games. They can still play their games while doing some form of exercise as well. I guess it depends on the standard of the games.
