Thanks for that Steven, good read. I think I may pick up Rayman RR, Zelda and mebbe Trauma Centre. Is Red Steel a title that you would suggest leaving? (I have a 360 and a couple of meaty gaming PC's)

That's the way I'm thinking. The article suggested that the Wii would be a perfect accompanyment to the 360, both aesthetically and gametically (I made that one up) - I'd expand on that and say it's an equally good accompanyment to a meaty gaming PC. I'm steering well clear of titles such as Red Steel and COD:3, or basically any FPS or any game I can experience in higher quality on PC (I appreciate there aren't any yet). I can't wait for Zelda, Rayman, Trauma Centre, Sports and Play etc... they all look fantastic and superbly geared to the control system.

Nick is going to write a first look on Red Steel as he played it more than me, but I'm personally not going to get it. I think Nick actually enjoyed it though.

Excellent article, can't wait to read more.
Am seriously considering whether or not I want one for Christmas, and if I do I know I need to justify it to the other half ("you dont play on the PS2 enough at the moment, you're always on the computer, what makes you think you'd use it?"). If i can sell it to her like I did Sky+ (which she loved from the 1st minute) then I'm in! :)

i think you'd do well to remove the part where you mention you are paid to do this, you lucky *******. ;)

Nice article, I can imagine feeling exactly the same, first time i play it!

Don't think there is any plans for it.

I'd agree with that.

I'll definately get one before 2007, probably during the christmas. I'm sure there'll be a great bundle in store like game or virginmegastore.
When i see the people, who's from gamespot america, playing the wii. god i wish i was their to get my hands on the wii.
Not just fun to play wii, it's even fun to see them playing it.

Well I'll be having mine as a companion to my (relatively) powerful gaming PC. The PC is primarily for me to play on my own where as the wii will be for bringing people round to have a laugh. Just need to buy some extra remotes when I get it.
