If there is a blue light coming out of your Wii today its not because of it supporting Greece in Euro 2008. Well not yet anyway. It’s because the Nintendo Channel was launched today in Europe. This is the channel where you can watch video trailers of Wii and DS games and also play download demos on your DS. The channel allows people to also recommend games to other Wii owners.

I was not able to find any demos to download this morning though. Just a few videos. The ability to play demos is a step in the right direction for Nintendo and i have to admit that the Wii menu is starting to fill up with some useful channels.

Most people's most anticipated title in the first 6 months of 2008 was propably GTA IV. The rest are waiting for MGS4. Not mine. Ever since it was announced, Civilization: Revolution has been my number one title for the first half of the year.

To vest or not to vest?

I must be getting old. The length of the game, according to video game sites, is between 2 to 4 hours. I finished the game in 4 hours and 2 mins. But i have two excuses for this. One of a more personal issue while the other an issue i had with the game.

Just a very quick post. I bought, downloaded and played an hour and a half of LostWinds on WiiWare. First of all let me just correct a mistake i made in my earlier post. Not all WiiWare games cost 500 points. Specifically, LostWinds costs 1000 points which is GBP7 or Euro8.79.

P.S For the non telepathic, I am in fact referring to Thursday 22nd May and NOT Friday 23rd May!

Hey all,

As of Friday 23rd I will no longer be your colleague, but a person whom you used to worked with / a friend / some random bloke on the street (delete as appropriate).
