So we finally got a Wii on Thursday of this week and we have been addictive ever since.  It comes with the games Wii sports which includes Golf, Boxing, Baseball, Bowling, and Tennis and I’m not a big sports buff but I thought I would try it out and much to my surprise it was a ton of fun.  You hold the Wii remote like you would a bat or a golf club and swing it just like you would if you were playing a real game.  You can get really into these games and get a good workout from them.  I think this was the smartest thing Nintendo could do in this day and age where all the kids are getting obese from sitting around and playing video games.  Instead now they actually have to move around.  I think this could grab people of all age ranges because its very easy to use and its a ton of fun.

I got some great Christmas presents this year.  Two of them I didn’t really know how exactly I would like them but they are turning out pretty cool.  I got an I-Cat.  This is a little mechanical cat that you can hook your MP3 player up to it and it will be speakers for it.  It also does a light/dance show in time with the music.  If you don’t want to have your ipod playing it will just act like a cat asking for attention with lights, meowing, purring when you pet its face etc.  Its cool, as I was never really sure what it did but thought it looked cool.

Next I got the Sims 2 Pets in Game Cube which I’m completely and utterly addicted to.  The only problem is I’ve needed to revive my cats and dogs a couple of times…. I guess I’m a bad pet owner or something.  I think in that game you can only have 2 pets otherwise its just too many.  Any tips/cheats or fellow users I would love to hear from you.  Its fun because you get to lead your normal Sims life but you get to have pets which are good/bad just like in real life.  When they pee on the floor thats not good.  The one good thing is that they show you want they want in little bubbles, like when they want to have puppies or kittens they show a stork carrying a baby.  Anyways like I said I’m completely addicted and would recommend both gifts to anyone!
