1kg down!

Can really see the difference in my arms with all the yoga and aerobics I've done with the Wii Fit. I've also lost a kilogram!

Fit with Wii

I have definitely noticed a difference in my muscles (what little there is anyway) and it is definitely the Wii and my 15 - 30 minutes a day on it.

I have unlocked quite a few new activities on Wii Fit, from boxing to really strenuous Yoga poses.

I know that the Wii as a personal gym is much more expensive than going to gym, but I think of it this way, at least it is clean and not sweaty, I can do it whenever I want, for how long I want, right in my own livingroom - no travel required!

Greener Gaming

Wii remotes really chews on a battery, I recommend using rechargeable batteries. It is greener and you will never run out of batteries.

PS. The Wii will tell you when your batteries are low on juices :)

Wii Fit

How I love doing aerobics in my livingroom! It really is tiring and FUN.

Must admit that it is more fun than going to the gym. Love that I can actually see the time I spent and results.

Indian Jones for Wii

Guilty, I didn't watch all the Indiana Jones movies...

Lego Indiana Jones

At first I thought that maybe it would be too much of a kiddy game to buy, but I was definitely surprised. That is, until we started playing Indiana Jones (Lego) for Wii.

2 Players - yay! Finally a Wii game that 2 players can play and have equal responsibility and power - except for the fact that Indiana Jones carries around a very handy whip.
Player 2 gets to play with a variety of characters. Female characters punch harder and jump higher :)

Graphics is good enough.
Storyline is interesting.
The little objectives challenging, might not be suitable for very young children as it might be a little too difficult.

I love that the little men and objects I beat up turn into coins/tresures and lego blocks!

Quantum of Solace, Bond 007

Fancy yourself being a secret agent? Or a fan of Bond 007? Then Quantum of Solace is definitely the game to buy this Christmas!

It is not the most tactical around, but being Bond has its own rewards. You get to shoot, clobber and run around as Bond in different locations. Sometimes your objective might not be that clear, but you will receive communications throughout each task until completion.

Now... I'm Bond, Jamie Bond :)

Wii becoming the choice of 30 somethings

It is official, after we got our Wii, we invited friends over for some serious gaming... and now they have a Wii each.

I think Wii stands out above the other gaming consoles because of the real interaction you can get with the sports and fitness games. There is something to be said for being able to play tennis in your living room and feel the pain afterwards...
