| jsheedy said: After college, a new type of video game started to emerge, the FPS. ... Even at my elevated age today I still like that genre, evident by my selections of Resistance one and two and COD4. I guess all that "boring" history brings me to my final point. I have always played video games to sit down and relax. If I want to jump around, swing things, or exercise I get out to do these things. I don't want to do it while playing a game Oh well, I guess I will just sit back and watch my 9 year old jump around and laugh playing her Wii, maybe some day it will grow on me, but I doubt it.

The FPS games are the type of genre who profits very strong from the Wiimote. For the first time in history FPS-Games are possible on a console with equally (some they better) controls than on the pc. The motion controls are nice, but in my opinion the IR-functions are the most revolutionary part of the wiimote ... and I like the wiimote speaker 
Perhaps if you don't know: There is barely a sports game on the Wii which experienced gamers could not play off the cuff. Most gamers I know appreciate the more advanced controls that the Wiimote offers than simple button smashing.
And yes, children could have much fun with the Wii too :)
