OK, so the Doctor Who Wii game was a steaming load of slitheen dung, but the accompanying Wiimote, styled after the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver is pretty cool if you’re a Who fan.

The Wii has a handful of great games and an even smaller handful of great games that truly exploit the Wiimote’s capabilities. The rest? Complete waggleriffic crap. Here, SCEA’s Rob Dyer gives some tough love to would-be PS Move developers. More »
If you can’t wait ’til later this year, and you want to give your Wii-playing thumbs a rest with an analogue stick, slide the $US7 Magic Stick cover on your Wiimote. It ain’t pretty but it’ll do the trick. More »
