Wii again

[SandyDown]

OK, I hate any kind of PC/PS games etc... just thinking of getting a Wii to get closer and have another things to do with the kids during this horrid weather that is stopping us from being able to do all the kind of fun stuff we love doing (mountain biking, long country hilly walks, long touring drives ...yeh right!!)

Anyway, for a girl who hates these computer related games (and consoles …heh come to think of it I hate all kind of games, not to mention football etc) do you think the Wii may be different?

Girlies opinion is greatly appreciated!!

I play Tetris, Minesweeper or Spider Solitaire using all 4 suites when I'm bored.

With the kids why not play traditional board games like Monopoly, Ludo or Snakes and Ladders. Much more fun than those mindless computer games, surely!

These are all very simple games...

Yes. Not only does Mrs Bob hate computer games, but she hates all things computer related. However, she not only loves the Wii, she has ordered a game without my prompting that arrives on Monday that she intends as a game to play with me. Unprecedented I tell ya...

hmm snakes and ladders, a game purely of chance, I can see how that will not be "mindless". Ludo is hardly and better.

Monopoly was one of the biggest causes of fights between and my brother and me when we were kids.

I think nearly every computer game ever made is less mindless than frikkin Ludo

But I'm only one generation away from those who used to play hopscotch in their spare time.
