The game that changed the world. Just let it sink in a bit, how many people do you know that have tried - or to cast a wider net, know of - Wii Sports? For many it's their ENTIRE family. Everyone from the barely-educated tween that exists on a heady diet of abdomen-baring poptarts all the way up the generational ladder to granny who remembers when it was frowned upon to have a bit of ankle on show, every single one can get stuck into Wii Sports, and they still do in their droves. Now we live in a world where mentioning you spent an afternoon on Call of Duty or FIFA is no longer met with looks of disgust or comments about how 'games are for kids', instead that person is more likely to join in with you and have a couple of games next time they're round. And the very reason for this potent paradigm shift? Wii Sports. No longer is gaming the vestige of the soap-deprived and scraggly-haired (well, it is that too), but thanks to the proliferation of Nintendo's initially laughable console idea, games became a staple of the living room, and we've been thrashing granny at tennis ever since. Replay it specifically for: Having an entire family showdown at the virtual bowling range.
