The nintendo wii has been out for over a year now and has created much hype. I have owned one since the month it came out and in this review I will tell you about my user experience with it. I will start with the controls as they seem to be the main feature of the console that have created all the hype. The wii remote and nunchuk make gaming much more fun to do but may not be the best for more hardcore gamers. There are only a small section of wii games suitable for hardcore gamers, the best probably being zelda. Fifa and some other sport games aren't the best with the remote but if your a fan of american football then you will be pleased to learn that madden ...  Read the complete review

My opinion of Nintendo in the past has never really been that good, mainly due their gamebody, nes and snes systems which I wasn't all that impressed by. I also think that a lot of their products are over priced. After some serious speculation and consideration my partner decided to by a Nintendo Wii for our son for his birthday.

I have a large family and one problem is trying to keep them (and myself) entertained, school holidays can be a particular problem. Last Christmas I was so happy to have got a Nintendo Wii, it has added another entertainment opportunity for us all. When we opened the box I soon realised that this would not be too difficult to get it working. It came complete with the main console, a controller called the Wii remote, another controller that is used in some games and attaches to the Wii remote through a cable, a small sensor that goes either above or below the television as well as all the leads needed and an instruction book that made the getting it up and ...  Read the complete review

'Wii'... What a name eh? Personally, I thought this was a ridiculous name when I first heard the official name, but I now think its quite unique and cool. So, let's start with a joke. One day, a boyfriend received a call from his girlfriend asking 'can you come round mine tonight?' The boy replied 'Sorry, I promised my sister that I'd play with her and her wii!' *drum roll* Anyway, yeah, there are a lot of jokes made about the wii but I think it is a great name. It looks really cool. It's white and squarish with a unique front that has a really cool neon light that lights up when it's on. It also pulses on and off when you have new messages to view. ...  Read the complete review
