The dead. Not a pretty bunch, are they? Lest we forget, SEGA's just hurled a bunch of new screens for House of the Dead 2 and 3 for the Wii our way.
When news first leaked that House of the Dead 2 and 3 was coming to the Wii, there was a spot of panic in the SPOnG offices. How could SEGA have infiltrated Andy SPOnG's house to make a game about him trying to make breakfast on a Saturday morning as he shuffles through his hangover? Does the Wii really need another cooking game, even if it has an undead hangover twist? Relief flooded the SPOnG underwater castle as Andy left his fugue behind him and remembered that House of the Dead is actually a classic on-rails shooter franchise from SEGA...
Anyway, make sure your breakfast's nice and settled and dig in!

If you own any of the other 2 or perhaps both high def gaming machines I think a Nintendo Wii is a perfect machine to own additionally alongside the others if you want some nice arcade shooting fun!
Looking forward to this game!
I'm not so sure, I've never found the Wii remote to be that accurate as a pointing device. I can't remember ever pointing at the exact area I wanted to and having the on-screen pointer line up and if you leave the remote pointed at the screen the on-screen pointer will waver around, even if the remote is resting on a table or something.
Maybe this is accurate enough for old-school on-rails shooters, but It's not as accurate as old-school Gun-Cons. Remains to be seen what the new Gun-Con is like of course, could be just as bad.
