This christmas we bought a Wii, it was for the whole family.My kids have always loved thier video games, however for the first time my hubby is now playing the Wii, he really likes it. The whole family is involved and we are doing things together by playing the Wii. I really think that this was a good investment. How many of you play video games as a family?

Many indivdiuals will say that video games ruin families and all of that stuff, but I don't believe that is true, I believe that is more of an underlying problem. In my opinion, I believe video games will bring you closer to your family. The Wii is a great investment as it is really interactive. There are many nice family games you can find on Wii. The great thing about the Wii is you can also play Gamecube games on it. We play the Wii together a lot along with the other game systems, but we also play World of Warcraft as a family. ~Melanie

Video games are my way of family time and we spend alot of time on the wii. we play mario party and mario kart. We have alot of fun with it. the family time is the most important thing we all need in any family.

my son was playing mario kart at the store today, that looks like fun too. we bought a couple of steering wheels so it might be fun to play.

Well, I don't think my family likes to have a console for ourselves. They are quite happy with computer and they say that if anyone wants to play video games then use PC games and enjoy. I don't think, if I play games, my family members will be happy. So, I play it in a video game parlor.
