Virtual Tennis Elbow

Ok, I knew that the Wiimote would be fun but I had no idea how easily it would be to pick this up and start having a blast. Kim and I are both developing sore arms from playing a lot of Tennis on this thing. The other games in Wii sports are pretty fun too, but I have to say that Tennis is the best.
I haven't had the time to really commit to Zelda like I wanted to, but I'm still about 10 hours in and just coming up to the third dungeon. I'm playing fairly slowly just to try and not miss anything, not to mention a few of the puzzles are pretty tough.

They managed to once again capture the Zelda dungeon feeling. By that, I mean 20 minutes of complete frustration followed by a forehead slap when you realize how simple something was. I have to admit that the wiimote controls here are a bit tacked on, but even if the slashes are mapped out accurately on screen, you still really get into the fights a bit more when you have to wail on the bad guys virtually. The pointer for aiming throwing weapons is GENIUS though.
I'm only a few hours into Red Steel, and I haven't gone back to it since playing it that first day. It's fun, but it takes a while to get used to the controls since you are moving the arm/gun on screen instead of your viewpoint moving. Think Trespasser, but not badly implemented, or sucky.
The only thing I am disappointed with is the Virtual Console. The selection right now stinks, and there are less than they mentioned would be there. Hopefully that is fixed soon, and also hopefully the browser ends up available soon as well.
