No point in being brilliant at letting go if it is going straight into the gutter!Yer Old Da wrote:I'm actually quite brilliant at letting the ball go, it's the gutter that I can't avoid.

I can't believe that you're not brilliant at something...where's your pride man...
Two ways round that...
1. You need to move the cursor to the extreme edge of the lane. This allows the spin to move across the lane.
2. You're rolling you wrist when you deliver the ball (ie like turning a door handle). A limp wrist = spin. Firm wrist = strike.

That's good to know. I had to move fast on it as they sell out so quickly, but 90% of the reviews I read on the 3 games I have were positive. Will be interesting to see how Mario Strikers Charged works online.FingerPass wrote:Sounds like a pretty decent bundle you got there Jonathan.

I think I will pass on that one now.
My records to target are
All the golf ones - IMPROVED TARGET PRACTICE TO 750 today
Bowling - Spares
Baseball - 1604. (Have 8 for 1390 so it is possible)

Link's Crossbow Challenge - £19.99 with a free Wii Zapper
Great fun while it lasts, and also great for 'family / friend' battles for high scores. Will post some scores at some stage.
I'm now playing Super Mario Galaxy when I get some spare time, I've got 36 stars so far. It's a good game but not nearly as engrossing as Zelda was last year.
How many others have Wii Play, I'll post some scores from that soon as well as I rarely play Wii Sports these days.

ghost squad any good? how accurate is the remote?
However, I am out tonight and away this weekend.... typical! Mind you, doofyman, it sounds as though I need some fitness training before setting it up!
