I had a go on the Nintendo Wii for the first time tonight. I was playing Mario Strikers – a strange football game, very original, but with a rather Japanese/Yank stance on the beautiful game. Basically it was very, very strange.
The controller was weird, but after much cursing, I finally mastered it. I do, however, struggle to see how so many people lose grip of their pads and end up smashing TVs, windows and each others skulls. The strap fitted comfortable around my wrist and was in no danger of flying away. I can only assume those who did cause “Damage by Wii” were either
1) Drunk
2) Stupid
3) Hoping to put a dodgy insurance claim in
All in all, a fun bit of kit, and guaranteed fun when lots of friends are round, or when you come back from an evening at the pub. If like me, you want serious gaming, buy an Xbox 360.

Is this the norm these days?
It amuses me how there are no doubt one-year-old babies, who know more about using an iPad than their 60-year-old granddad.
