    Santa just brought me a Wii and a few games for it.


    I wanted it because it's like board games are you can get some friends together and have great laughs and with the sports thing you can get a ton of people together to have a ball.

    It's not a "serious" gaming machine but I just had some friends over and we laughed for hours for me that's what it's all about. It doesn't get much better!

    The thing I like about the Wii is it's just a fun gaming machine. The focus isn't on how much gore and blood you can spew or how violently you can dominate the world. Shoot-em-ups are a ball, but it's kind of refreshing to play a game where the focus isn't on killing everything you see. The bowling game is a blast! Definitely get 2 controllers though. Boxing is hilarious with 2 players.

    I pretty much agree... If you want to do some good FPS gaming, etc - get an XBOX 360. If you want to just game and have fun, you can't beat the Wii. I think since you said it's for the family that the Wii is your best bet.
