Now as the proud owner of a Wii, I’m hooked. The ability of the remote controllers to detect motion in three dimensions makes the gaming experience totally suited for a wide range of ages, from kids to vintage adults. The Wii Sports and Wii Play are all you need for rotator cuff injuries, a good case of Tennis elbow and hours of fun. I can’t wait for the library to carry Wii games, especially now that they are outselling PS3 2 to 1.
We’ve been doing a number of gaming in the library types of activities, primarily Guitar Hero for the PS2. Last Saturday, the library held a teen filmaker series followed by a video game marathon consiting of GH2 as well as some retro gaming on my old Dreamcast. Apparently they couldn’t get enough of the Soul Caliber.
My co-worker who organizes most of the Video Game Nights (that take place Fridays or Saturdays 3pm – 5pm) actually will be co-presenting at CLA this year on this very topic. Rock on Sarah!!!
