Wow, these Nintendo Wii games are really something of a technology marvel. A friend of mine recently purchased the new game console along with a couple of games and I might say that they are quite addicting, fun and got my heart on cardio speed.

On the fun meter, what is much more fulfilling – Fishing Master or going out and on the lake to catch a few live ones.

On the physical activity, fat burning, calorie burning scale – a game of EA’s version of Tiger Woods PGA 07 or going out to your neigbourhood course for a game of golf with a few buddies.
