My mum is fantastic. She was so happy after getting 1st Class Honours for her course (Well done!) that she felt like giving me by Christmas present early… only a bloody Nintendo Wii!!. I felt like I was 8 years old again and getting an N64 for my birthday. And what games came with it I hear you cry? Wii Sports and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess!.

So far, all is good. Wii Sports is a barrel of laughs, and some of the capabilities that the motion sensor system has is truly amazing. For instance, in the Bowling game, if I flick my wrist to the right as I let go of the ball, the ball with have right spin on it. And in Tennis, you can easily slice a ball or put top spin on it simply by altering your movements slightly. Now, of course you could just play by flicking your wrist a bit, but the whole fun is to stand up and swing yourself around. Can’t wait for the ‘Wii Play’ game, and/or any other crazy mini game collection that will come out, since I know it’s going to be great.

Just so you know, the new Zelda game is a masterpiece. Every time I stop playing it, I can’t wait to play it again. I haven’t had that feeling for a long time. Everything is incredible: the world, the people, the innovative controls, the weapons (bomb arrows anyone?), and especially the story which is increasingly absorbing, and you know it is just going to get better. I mean, I’m 10 hours in, and only about less than a 1/3 through the main core of the game, and it’s already that impressive. There will definitely be more to come as I complete more of the game. So watch this space.

So yeah, I’ve got a Wii, and it is an awful lot of fun. I’m expecting to get a few extra visitors to my house in the next few weeks, wonder what they could want …

Weekly Anime Reviews

I won’t be doing much in the ways of Weekly Anime Reviews anymore. To be honest, it’s simply too time-consuming. I’m still watching the series, so maybe I’ll put up a catch-up review from time to time.

If you really want to know, Bleach is still crap, and Death Note is still amazing!

Ouch
