Who's Got Wii Fit Fever?

Wii Fit is all the rage these days. Especially around the Holidays. Even my mom has it and is actively using it by the way. She's becoming a yoga master overnight. Actually, all the Baby Boomers are buying Wii Fit.

Nintendo has revolutionised gaming once again. Taking gaming away from the ridiculously hard games and making gaming fun again. Simple A & B. No longer do you have to spend 14 hours a day playing Halo 3 in order to be good at it. It's made gaming social which is quite fun. I mean, I come home and play Wii Bowling with my parents or Mario Kart with my lady friend. You couldn't do that with an XBOX or a Playstation 3. Even senior citizens are doing it:

Point of note: I haven't touched my XBOX 360 in over a year and a half except to watch DVD's. This coming from a guy who played hours of Halo a day. I HAVE BEEN SAVED BY NINTENDO. WIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

My personal favorite on Wii Fit is the balance game wear soccer balls and cleats get kicked launched in your direction. The sound it makes when a cleat hits you in the face makes my dad crack up laughing. This in turn makes me crack up laughing. Meanwhile my mom continues to take cleats to the face the more we laugh. She gets frustrated and we laugh more. God I love the Holidays.

FIFA '09 Is Out

FIFA '09 has been released on all formats in the U.K. and by the looks of things is a vast improvement on previous failures.

In my opinion the FIFA series has slumped dramatically as video game systems have improved. During that time, FIFA games always looked great, but the game play was utter dog excrement from a purist perspective. All you had to do was give the ball to Rooney or Ronaldo and press turbo and no one could stop you. Not so much fun. The last really good one was FIFA '99 for Nintendo 64. But that's just me.
