I have created a monster!


We all have dark little secrets that we would rather no one knew about, and mine is this: I own a Wii. Yes I, a serious gaming fan, own a gimmicky toy which, despite its childish mechanism for game-play, is a lot of fun. This is not a problem as it doesn’t often tempt me away from my Xbox, but today this devilish device interrupted my more serious gaming. More worryingly is the reason behind it. You see after a brief walk along the local beach in the brisk wind I returned home fully intent on delving into my latest gaming melee on the Xbox, Left 4 Dead.

However, I have been thwarted in my attempts as, while my back was turned, my wonderful fiancĂ©e decided that this afternoon was the perfect time to get interested in gaming. Worse still she decided that the Wii was the better option and I have been forced to endure Wii sports and Wii fit in place of my preferred splatter fest amongst the rotting corpses of the walking dead. So, for now, I will have to wait a little longer to play through the so-far-amazing Left 4 Dead and post the subsequent review here. The only alternative is to try and wrestle the controller from my dearest, but the phrase “cold dead hands” springs to mind. Better leave her to it for now. Oh well, there’s always the internet…

  1. I hang my head in shame, for I too own the Wii. And yes, Left 4 Dead is sweet.

  2. I however am a girl who owned a wii, and hated it, I sold it within 6 months of owning it. I love my PS3 and the gore-fest that is Killzone 2!

  4. what is it with men and the buttons? like the tv remote control - once they have it, they'll never let it go.

  5. I could have kept my Wii because of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, but no. I decided I hated Nintendo and their new direction so much, I would rather sell my Wii out of spite then continue waiting for something to excite me.
