Virtually Hot: Wii Sports

by eldean, 08-08-2007

We don't consider ourselves natural athletes. In fact, the most exercise we generally get is sprinting down the streets to hit the Saks sale before it ends. And we're as unimpressed by video games as we are by gym rats. Given such sentiments, it comes as quite a surprise that we're so enamored by the new Wii Sports. The console-du-jour amongst gamers (generally our least favorite group of the population) features a groovy controller that allows your movement, not your fingers, to do the work. Our tennis swing may stink on the courts, but we're much less embarrassed when waving about our living room. And though we're not "bowled" over by most bowling lanes, we've scored plenty of strikes at home without donning the ugly shoes. Could this could be the trigger that finally turns us into a typical Boston jock? Probably not - we'd still rather date one than be one. Public sweating is so overrated.
