Nintendo Wii

One month ago we purchased a company Wii, to be shared between Alex, Alex's girlfriend and Mark. Thus far we've played over 60 hours of competitive tennis, boxing, and golf on Wii sports. This has been accompanied by numerous hand, wrist and ankle injuries and has spilled over into 'almost fistfights' between ourselves.

Wii product review: Overall the Wii has some pretty realistic gameplay. Mark argues that it's far too easy on subpar golfers and since he can barely control the spin on his iron shots it's not a fair representation of true athletic ability.

Alex is thrilled that for the first time in his life he didn't have to worry about injuring other golfers.
