It seems like it might be a good mid-range game, but maybe starting him off with Wii music would have been better?<BR/><BR/>The Big Daddy - Little Sister combo is precious. But maybe Banjo-Kazooey could work with a baby in the backpack.Jorge Alborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857765716032886965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-65946455336423879012009-01-07T05:25:00.000-08:002009-01-07T05:25:00.000-08:00My Dad got a Wii for Christmas, so my family is en...My Dad got a Wii for Christmas, so my family is enthralled. He talks to me every day about strategies for various Wii sports and complains about muscle strain.<BR/><BR/>I got him Guitar Hero, but I don't think he has played it yet. Still too obsessed with Wii Sports!<BR/><BR/>I've also decided that I will dress my children up as video game characters for laughs.Travis Megillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951124359715088532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-76117112379300474162008-12-31T10:41:00.000-08:002008-12-31T10:41:00.000-08:00@ SpencerAlways a pleasure to get into a discussio...@ Spencer<BR/><BR/>Always a pleasure to get into a discussion and have a place to spur my brain into action.<BR/><BR/>Is you family the least bit enthralled by Wii-mania? Last week my mom said she wanted a Wii, and I'm not even certain she could handle a toaster let alone a next-gen game console. But at least she the "playthings for children" mentality isn't as pervasive. Which is itself strange considering how much of a casual "plaything" the Wii tends to be.Jorge Alborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857765716032886965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-50028045295088177042008-12-30T12:02:00.000-08:002008-12-30T12:02:00.000-08:00Apparently, you and I have a lot to say about each...Apparently, you and I have a lot to say about each others' work. I've just scheduled another post in which I quote you and play with your ideas.<BR/><BR/>You know, it's strange. I find it almost impossible to get my friends and family members to play games. I think it's related to a kind of stigma, though. They seem to view them as simultaneously the playthings of children and as excessively inaccessible. We have a lot of work to do.Spencer Greenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13301448668194775788noreply@blogger.com
