Are you a pro at Wii Sports bowling? Polish off Legend of Zelda last weekend? Need some new games for your Wii?
2007 has brought us a few more titles for Nintendo's hot new game system, and some of them have a little fun buried deep within them. Unfortunately, to get to it, you've got to dig through layer upon layer of clumsy, awkward use of the system's motion-sensing controls.

Wii Play:
Wii owners know the system sends you a little e-mail every day, showing you what games you played and how long you spent playing them. I cleared Wii Play's nine mini-games in a single sitting. The letter said it took me 34 minutes. I did not feel like playing it again.
