ON YOUR MARKS, READY, SET... DIVE!

I picked up a couple more games for my Nintendo Wii today. The titles I decided upon after much deliberation are Endless Ocean from my Wishlist and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. I'm looking forward to losing myself in a unique single-player experience with the first game and some frantic Wii remote shaking multi-player fun with the second.

I guess Medal of Honor 2: Heroes will have to wait as I couldn't find it in stock anywhere.

TIME TO WORKOUT

My copy of Wii Fit and balance board was delivered today. My decision to pick-up a Wii console was influenced by the potential for fun and fitness offered by this unique game. I've only had a chance to do the body test and a few activities so far but let's just say I'm impressed - if a little crest fallen at finding out just how out of shape I am, lol!
