Although spritely Adonises such as myself love the Wii, those of us who perhaps do not let our bouncing pectorals hypnotise passing women into seduction may be excused for being skeptical about a device that takes the lard out of their asses and their asses out of a collapsed couch.
For those fatties amongst us like Eliza, the Wii looks like a punishment, because it will actually require the burning of calories to use. In fact, Greg Howson has tried the Wii and finds it exhausting:
Wii will get a lot of positive press between now and launch, mainly because it offers a new story - gaming is for everyone - and is easily accessible to even the most cack-handed journalist. Criticism will be thin on the ground as any issues - such as aching wrists or control frustrations- are only likely to come to light after a lengthier play then is possible at a press bash. Or so you'd think... I was quite tired after 10 mins, so length Wii sessions could be a real workout.
Just wear your 'My Heart ASPLODE' t-shirt while you're gaming on the Wii and you'll be fine.
