Lunchtime Deal: Doctor Who Wiimote $24 — Or $16.99!
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.

Sony Doesn’t Want Another Wiimote Situation
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.
Wii Magic Stick Cover Ditches D-Pad For Analogue Stick
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.
LG’s New TVs Will Come With A Wiimote-Like Remote Control
It turns out that from all that CES coverage that the US gave us last week, they neglected to spend any time on LG’s new “Magic Wand” TV remote control, which offers Wiimote-like control of their new Infinia TVs. Lucky for us, the guys from Kotaku took the time to look at it.
