Columnist arrives late to Wii party, still falls head over heels
From a Salt Lake Tribune column entitled Diving into the video game experience: This Christmas, my wife and I bit the bullet and got the boys (and, truth be told, ourselves) a Wii. The nickname we chose for the console (the game asks for one during the set-up process, if you’ve never had one of your own) was “the beast.” After a week, “the meth lab” might have been more appropriate. Geez...
