I’m not a great fan of games consoles and perhaps a little suspicious of people my age who are. Over the last couple of years Nintendo has at least changed the landscape by offering more player involvement with both the DS Lite and Wii.  I must admit I’ve been tempted by the Wii, not least because of the Tiger [...]
