The Life of Reidy

Wii Sports was recently proclaimed by Time Magazine as "The Greatest Videogame Of All Time." For those not in the know, Wii Sports is the free disk that comes prepackaged with your new Nintendo Wii, and it features fully interactive versions of Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Baseball, and Boxing for you to swing your Wii remote at and go crazy. While this statement might be overdoing it a little bit, I can see where they are coming from. It's probably the first videogame in history where you can figure out what you are doing even if you have never played a videogame before. It recreates the feel and atmosphere of playing these games, so anyone who has ever swung a racket or rolled a bowling ball will be able to figure out the mechanics and have a load of fun. Some of the more harcore gamers of course, can see the potential and are itching for more developed games for these specific sports, but it will all be in due time, I am sure.
