    I raved about it for a few days whilst she looked on in a bored manner stating that she wasnt interested. But eventually she picked up the manual and started looking at the races and classes.

    From there she created a character and was hooked. Let me tell you, weekends were annoying until we got the second pc and account. having to share wow isnt fun.

    It helps that she likes computer games too though.

    I don't leave bruises - that would be amatuerish :rolleyes:

    But vaguely back on topic, has anyone got opinions on the Wii version of Zelda - I'm looking for a new game to get into (that isn't Wii Sports but is still quite 'active') and I don't want to waste my money on stuff willy-nilly.

    If you want an 'active' wii game, theres a new snowboarding game coming out shortly that enables the use of the wii-fit board. Its supposed to be quite good.

    Zelda is active in the same way that conducting an orchestra is active - ie, lots of arm waving.

    I've never been addicted to a game as such but I think there's certainly an issue with getting too involved in games, When I was lying awake wondering if the gamble I'd taken on an untried 18 year old Ivory Coast striker for Hull City on Championship manager, I knew I had a small problem.....

    The problem is now games go on forever!!! Half the games that come out now you can't ever 'complete'. In the past you had a set game and a set amount of levels, some games now are ridiculus!
