I bought us a Nintendo Wii for Christmas as I happened to stumble upon on a pile of Wii consoles in a local store. They are hard to find here in Finland just like everywhere else, so I was a bit surprised and couldn't walk past them...

The console comes with the Wii Sports that is one of our most played games with the console. No wonder Time picked it up as the best game of the year 2006!

Other games that I obtained were The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Rayman Raving Rabbids. Wii Play came with an extra controller, but it isn't that interesting, though quite good for introducing the controls for new players.

I have already spent several hours with my girlfriend playing with the Wii. Wii like especially the Wii Sports and Rayman Raving Rabbids as they are fun when played together. My girlfriend has always been generally open about computer and console games but we have never before spent together as much time playing something :)

The Wii is great, but it won't completely replace my Xbox 360 which is a great console, too. Each console have their own advantages. Wii is great for playing with girlfriend or with friends, but often I want to play the games I have for the Xbox 360.
