Nintendo Wii - uh, I mean 'Vii' - review

I first saw this video on Kotaku.com.au, and just had to post it here to spread the word.  A Brit by the name of Dr Ashens has gone to the trouble of ordering a KenSingTon Vii from China to review.  And an entertaining review it is!  I particularly liked the Chinese Puzzle Bobble knock-off: Squirrel Bobble!  I actually owned a Nintendo Wii for a year... a mostly enjoyable experience, except for the lack of decent games.  By the time this problem was rectified (Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy etc) I had sold the Wii and moved on to the Xbox 360 - with no regrets at all.

While on Dr Ashens site, make sure you check out his Human Killing Machine (for Atari ST) retro-game review.  Ashen's reviewing style brings to mind Zero Punctuation, but with enough differences to be unique.  His HKM review is a reminder to all of us just how terrible some games from our past could be...
