Fun and Games with Wii

A couple of weeks before Robynne's birthday last year we bought a Wii, we had been wanting one for a while and thought it would be great fun at Robynne's party as it turned out we never used it at her party. Need less to say it has been used many times scince then.

It has become not only a source of great fun and much amusement, it seems to be quite educational, which I suppose those of us in the H.E. circle know that this can be said of many every day household tasks and activities. Though I was quite surprised at this event tho' I shouldn't have been really. Anyway as I was saying it has been used alot, at first it was mainly Andy, then when we looked after K monthly while his mum took Robynne, T and J to H.E.Y - Home Ed youth group for over 12's - they really enjoyed Wii Sports, tho' as we have gotten more games this has changed lol.

Then it got to the stage where Robynne would play more often, then we got My Sims and I too started to play, mind you Andy still plays more as even tho' My Sims was a game that Robynne and myself wanted he completed it first. Super Mario Galaxy is another one that we have all enjoyed again Andy has almost completed this one too.

Our latest acquisition is causing the biggest stir tho' Robynne loves this one and has been asking for it ever scince the oh so charming advert, I'm sure you will know the one I mean when I say tht the game is Guitar Hero III, I just love the image of Slash wearing someone as a skin lol. It's not really helping Robynne learn her guitar lol, but it is helping her timing and rhythm. Even Andy has benefited even tho' he plays the guitar in the most unconventional way across his lap, for myself I like the game but every so often I have to pass to Robynne to get past certain levels. All in all the Wii has been a good buy lol, tho' now we need to get another guitar as playing dual player with the Wiimote is flaming awkward, it really messes me up when I go back to playing with the guitar. You can probably guess this, but, I think Robynne is going to complete this game first.
