Loving the Wii's Grand Slam Tennis

This is a lot of fun, easy to play (but not easy to play WELL on higher difficulty settings), as well as possible to play while walking on the treadmill or riding the exercise bike.

Especially like the antics of the pros ... occassionally they'll start limping after hitting a bad shot, etc.

Saw this online ... enjoyed the previous two games and am wondering if this could be the first MMRPG I'll try.

One of the recent studies out of Pew Internet titled, "Teens, Video Games and Civics" reports that gaming is popular with most American teens, and that the sterotype of the "loner" playing video games isn't quite true. The study produced some interesting findings, including:

  • 50% of teens played games “yesterday.”
  • 86% of teens play on a console like the Xbox, PlayStation, or Wii.
  • 73% play games on a desktop or a laptop computer.
  • 60% use a portable gaming device like a Sony PlayStation Portable, a Nintendo DS, or a Game Boy.
  • 48% use a cell phone or handheld organizer to play games.
