Title: Anyone have a Wii Game?
Post by: Dumanyu on March 05, 2008, 03:16:01 PM
We have had a Wii (video game system) since Christmas, and today I received my copy of Tiger Woods '08 Golf Game for the Wii. Truly awesome game playing the professional courses during the cold winter months. Yes, I suck at it, but I did manage to hit an Eagle and some chip in Birdies at the TPC at Sawgrass. Cool game as you actually have to interact with the game as opposed to sitting on the duff pushing buttons.
JMHO

The two grandkids who spend a lot of time with us got a Wii for Christmas, and play it here at our house on the big screen TV.

Their favorites are Donkey Cong and Pirates of the Caribbean.

They are known as Coin Girl and Coin Boy on CCF, and at this stage of their lives, Wii is more important than coin collecting.  Hopefully that will change as they mature.

Actually, as I think about it, our "kids" (oldest is 40) really like video games also.  Guess I just am from another generation, or too dang old, or something.

The grandkids love all the sports games -- table tennis, boxing, tennis, golf...

We have a Wii, the kids love it, but I have no time for electronic games of any sort.

Hang in there Gary, I think you and I are on the same wave length.
We'll know when we will need to get that electronic stimulation that keeps the younger generation alive today.
Check out a song by Slim Whitman called ' I Wish I Was Eighteen Again'.
I cry when i listen to it.
You'll understand.
regards,

I know what it's like to be a bit out of touch with the current trends. Before taking up the real game of golf, I used to see commercials where kids would quote, "I'm Tiger Woods". I would always wonder, "Who or what was Tiger Woods"?

Last night I started on the the first round of the Fedex Tournament starting out at even par. After the first round I'm in a 5 way tie for first with a 7 under. ;D Of course, in real life I couldn't par a hole on the real course if my life depended on it, but it is fun to imagine.

We have a Wii, that we got the night they came available.  My husband is such a game freak it's scary sometimes.

My games include the Wii sports, where I love the bowling, and I play the Endless Ocean game also.  it's really interesting and relaxing!

Getting better at the golf game... got 3 holes in one and finally beat Chris DeMarco in match play 2 and 1. Now I just need someone else to play the game with here at home, so I can kick some butt ;)

My kiddies want one, but the rule is with that kind of stuff, they only appreciate it if they buy it, and so far they are not doing well on saving.
