We have six new free wii games in our house today.
Before last Christmas, the only game system this family had was an Atari Flashback 2.0
Then Santa brought us a wii and our lives haven't been the same.
We live near Electronic Arts, in fact my husband used to do some contract work there. A few months ago I found an ad on Craigslist asking for game testers. I finally signed us up and yesterday we went to play.
We had to sign lengthy non-disclosure agreements so I'm not going to tell you about the game we tested. I will say it was fun to noodle around with a work in progress and find bugs for them. After an hour of play we completed questionaires and discussed what we liked and didn't like. Once they got kids talking about games it was impossible to shut them up. Some kids (and adults too) thought up all kinds of wild and funny enhancements. Drama Girl went on and on.
Then we were paid for our efforts -- in our choice of wii games! We each got to take one. The kids are ecstatic. Drama Girl got Boogie (Microphone Included)
The sad thing is, I'd saved up our member coupons from Best Buy to get my husband a Father's Day gift: We Ski
Anybody want to come over and play?
(If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and want to participate, watch Craigslist. EA runs these testing sessions all the time.)

Ohhhh. Now I see. Had to rush over here to find out what you meant?
We don't have a Wii...but it's sounding like it was a hit for father's day gifts this year.
I think for Christmas we may have to break down...Grandpa lets us use his but it's 3 hours away!
I'm so jealous, what fun! Still have't found a wii fit yet...
That is awesome. WIshing I lived there. My son got Bloom Box for his birthday and Star Wars Lego. We are hopelessly addicted!
I am still kicking myself for not buying a WII the one day I went into Best Buy and they had FOUR just sitting there. I haven't seen one available since. My brother has one, though, and we are addicted to it! If we lived in the SF Bay area, he'd be all over this.
Thanks for the digg!
How awesome. We have Playstation 3 but of course my kids want a Wii too!
Nice! Good to be a game tester.
