I had planned on talking about how Nintendo is coming out with a black version of all things Wii so people can  “customize their setup” [Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing] but then I got distracted by looking at TMZ.com [Don't judge!] and saw a video of a QVC guy making a very big mistake.
If you have a Wii, I’m sure you always follow ALL of the saftey instructions and ensure that your controller is properly tethered to your wrist at all times.
You do remember all of those “Wii injury” videos that came out …read more

I had a bit of an epiphany today while I was sitting on the couch watching TV.
One reason Nintendo has done so phenomenally well with the Wii is that they have accepted that their target market isn’t comprised of hardcore gamers. They have embraced the casual gamer and Nintendo is cool with that and so cool in fact that they are taking their strategy strait to the bank.
The light-bulb moment – if you will – happened as I watched a commercial for the Wii Fit Plus. I’ve searched YouTube for the video and can’t find it so you’ll have to …read more

I am horrible at Guitar Hero. Horrible. Easy setting kicks my ass.
But, with the announcement of the addition of Johnny Cash and Ring of Fire to Guitar Hero 5, I just might consider grabbing up a guitar and giving the game another go.
New to the game is the Electric Honky Tonk Bar venue which gives you the chance to use any instrument controller to rock out to Ring of Fire and if you’re good enough, you can unlock the ability to sing as Johnny Cash himself.
The game will hit store shelves in September on the PS3, Wii, PS2 and Xbox …read more

A USB drive can be used for many occasions such as getting your music, image or game files into one nifty gadget (or you can throw and play catch with your dog). Kingston Technology has pushed the storage limit of an USB flash drive to 256GB.

Fast transfer rate and the option of password protect of the files are some of the perks of using this drive. Of course, getting more Wii games into such a device is never been as easy as before.

I’m not sure if you caught it or not, but Obama had a little bit to say recently about kids and our responsibility as parents. Specifically he stated that parents need to turn off the Xbox and get our kids in bed at a reasonable hour.

The article I read about his statement says that the Obama household living in the White House is a Wii family. Was he taking sides? Why didn’t he mention the Wii specifically instead of the Xbox?
Now I’m not saying we should read too much into this. Who really knows why he mentioned Xbox initially …read more

Harry Potter is taking the film world by storm…again…and the newest game, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, is doing pretty well itself.
The game was released early this month in time to grab some of the hoopla that came with the release of the movie and was released for the Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, DS, PC, Mac, and mobile devices. [I'm tired just typing all of that.]
Anyway, I found four screenshots of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for the Nintendo Wii and thought that I’d share them with you guys in case you haven’t gotten a …read more

As environmental-friendly gamers, we are aware that the Earth is going to die (erm…just a matter of time). However, we can do our part for our future generations by saving power and reduce carbon emissions in the process.

One company called TrickleStar is aware of this saving or standby power issue to come up with the TV TrickleSaver which is to stop the flow of standby power when electrical appliances such as TV and your gaming console are in ’standby’ mode.
PS3 is the primary target for such usage while Microsoft Xbox 360 comes in as a close second. Device @ $34.95.

Let Professor B.M. Werken show you how to utilize CID’s tricks, skills and weapons in preparation …read more

Right?

When it comes to Wii Sports Bowling, I can sit on my couch, whip out my Wii remote and scores a perfect 300 occasionally. Maybe CTA Digital is looking into my kind of Wii bowling nerds who find Wii bowling boring to come up with the Wii Bowl.

The Wii Bowl lets you split (pun intended) the blue bowl into half and insert the Wii remote right into its center. Three holes are present to give you the authentic feeling of stucking your fingers into a real bowling ball. The roundy Wii accessory is made for these Wii bowling games: Wii …read more
