Are You Surprised Wii Sports Is the Best-Selling Video Game?
Software company VGChartz says that Wii Sports is the world's best-selling video game, which has raised more than a few eyebrows. I certainly credit the game for being a great introduction to the Wii itself (there's a reason that it comes with the console), and to selling people on the Wii and casual gaming in general.
Best-selling is certainly different than saying it's the best (you said the best for 2008 was the Wii Fit), and I also wonder if the fact that the sales of the Wii are so good that Wii Sports is getting the props because it's included.
Games Can Get You In Shape For the Big Day Too!
I guess it's a rite of passage that you freak out before your wedding — whether it's over the flower arrangements, the cake, or your body. Although you should never stoop to crash dieting (I know Fit would tell you the same), it may actually help you to chill out by playing a video game. Bonus, if those games are interactive and get your blood pumping, you might just lose a few pounds while you're at it and tip the scales in your favor.
Geek Out! What Do You Wear For Wii Tennis?
City Magazine put together a fun mix of outfits for Wii tennis, baseball, golf, boxing and bowling and when I showed Fab, she challenged all of us geeks to find the ultimate Wii sports outfit.

Wii Sports Resort Commercial Gets Me Excited For the Game
I know, I included Wii Sports Resort in my August must-haves list and already asked you if you were planning on picking up the game. But, after watching Nintendo's new Wii Sports Resort commercial, which starts airing today, I'm really excited to go kayaking and play ping-pong —who knew?! And don't even get me started about the addition of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which is said to track a player's movements in finer detail.
