But it's a lead pipe lock somewhere, someone is going to throw this thing through mama's flat panel, even with that wrist strap and the finger grips. Someone standing close to the screen could still bash it if it flew out of their hand, strap attached. Then again, if you are this serious about bowling, you're probably good enough not to lose your grip like a dork.

Wii Bowling Ball Accessory Looks Dangerous [Video Games Blogger]

While in Austin, Fahey took a photo of a bag. The contents of that bag included a magazine and other literature. In Fahey's picture, you can clearly see the name of a former laptop maker. What is the name of that blue company?

The basic game remains the same. Line up your feet, choose a trajectory, and then hold down B to swing and release, hopefully not launching the Wiimote through your widescreen. Tossing the ball was incredibly intuitive and every bit as fun as it was when the Wii launched. By twisting the controller as I released I could apply spin to the ball, which lead to me missing the shot due to my serious lack of real life bowling skills. Using the keep it simple, stupid technique I was soon bowling spares and finally even a strike, nearly taking out a Crave PR person in the process.

In addition to the basic gameplay, Brunswick Pro Bowling takes the game even deeper. Throughout the course of a lengthy career mode you unlock real bowling equipment, like specialized balls with their own physics and characteristics. The lanes across the ten environments included in the game change during the course of a match...with a press of a button you can see the oil pattern of the lane, allowing those really into the sport to get overly technical about how they line up their shots, which the more casual among us can rely on the good old 'swing your arms as hard as you can and pray' method.

While I can't speak for the PS2 or PSP versions of the game, Brunswick Pro Bowling for the Wii is the natural progression from the mini-game that launched a thousand Wiimotes into players' television sets across the country. Check it out when the game itself launches next month. Special thanks to Crave for allowing me to post a story that includes the phrase, "specialized balls."

How cute are those signs? Old people are just darlings. I might get one for the house, jazz it up a little bit. Kim Phu

Not only can Will's Mindstorms robot play Wii Bowling, it can kick your ass at it. Perfect robotic score FTW! I've already begged Will to write up a howto on his site.

Watch it and weep, puny humans. Next up, robot playing Call of Duty 3 on the Wii, then robots take over the world. Brian Crecente

There's still plenty of reasons to watch Game Head on SpikeTV this weekend, but that shouldn't stop you from watching a snippet of the upcoming show now with Reggie bowling. You know, he's all about bowling and kicking ass. Brian Crecente

A clever Wii gamer used the console's Mii creator, Wii Bowling and what had to be an awful lot of editing, to recreate the "pee'd on my rug" bowling scene from movie The Big Lebowski. While it's kinda funny to watch, I think this mostly proves you can't really make evocative machinima with Miis. Brian Crecente
