Random Thoughts of Chris Tilley

I got to play the new Wii the other day, huge amount of fun. Don't know about the graphics or processors but to me it biggest advantage is the game play.

I played the bowling and the golf in the sports and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07. Took me a while to figure out the control but it definitely took me deeper into the game and made me tune out the rest of the world.

The other big reason I like the Wii is its ability to offer some exercise. I was reading an article about in being used in retirement homes and the positive effect it was having on their lives.

What really made me add this to my Birthday/Christmas list was a wiki article on the new Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Wii game. Due out July 2007. It is reported to ship with a Wii-Mic that will allow you to shout out your spells. Don't know if this is rumor or fact but its got my attention.
