Greetings Infomaniacs,

I’ve never been a huge fan of video games, but I admit I
have gotten hooked on Nintendo Wii. Their interactive sports
games are so much fun. My boyfriend can sit and play Xbox
games for hours, but they hold no appeal for me! To each
their own, right? Since there are so many video games out
there, I thought we could learn a little bit more about them
today.

Enjoy!
Melissa
