My family and I have been die-hard GameCubers for the past 7 years so we know what to expect from the quality of graphics and styles of games available. People must do their research. It does not have the “intense graphics” of the other systems but I think the innovative way of interacting with the games/system makes up for what the Wii isn’t. Except for the fact that they all play games, the Wii cannot be compared equally to the PS3 or 360. It’s wonderful for what it is.

Set up was a breeze. We were up and racing (Mario Kart – Great Game!!) within 30 minutes (and that included time to rearrange dvd player, etc. to create a space on entertainment center).

I don’t have a flat screen HD TV so I was happy that the system came with the R/Y/W type jacks. Also people have “complained” about only one remote, but it should be expected that additional accessories need to be purchased if necessary. (My GameCube came with one controller and NO GAME!)

We are very happy with our decision to purchase a Wii. We knew what to expect BEFORE we purchased it (even tho it was a no-brainer for the Mario fanatics that we are!)
The Jesus Revolution New

Michael Gira’s ode to darkness is given new light, as it were, in the 1999 debut album of his most recent creation, Angels of Light, both a passive defiance of Christianity, as a few songs praise Jesus for the path to secular normality, and a remarkably quiet regard to his listeners who are the object of his dark humanist affection. Gira is at the center of a group of credited yet anonymous sounding musicians, who don’t so much as form an ensemble, as they dillegently support the brooding quirkiness of Gira’s haunting moods, save the supporting choral vocals who sound like someone Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits would hire to give a song some melodic charm. Behind Gira, such gleeful harmonies sound like a curse, a contradiction of sweet and sour. This is certainly nothing like industrial, metal, goth Swans, Gira’s first band, no more anguished screams to the pagen god of the sky, nor anything like Drainland, a solo work which finds him knee deep in thunderstruck commoner insight, like a profound message from a drunk. In Angels of Light’s “New Mother”, Gira is content to strum his guitar and sing (practice) his voice in variations on religion and politics in the form of a distant lover, and the result is slow-going and singularly atmospheric, like Gira speaking to you from across a table with a megaphone. I could almost say it’s a bit indulgent, except Gira has already proven his worth. Given the downtempo dour heartbeat of these songs, the angels of light casts all shadows.
New Mother

I have owned 6 different gaming consoles. All of the Nintendo’s and the Playstations. The Wii beats them all! The assortment of games offered are amazing and the get up off the couch playing is totally a plus. Though don’t over do it…my arms were killing me after the first night. The Wii is easy to set up and understand. The controller took a few tries to get use to (never played with a wireless).
My husband and I play everyday and we even have Wii date nights. If you are buying for children (especially if you have couch potatoes) the Wii is it. There are plenty of kid friendly games to choose from plus most of the games are fun for adults. I know because I bought some for myself. The price is good and you wont be a lump on the couch.
