Nerf Sports Pack for Nintendo Wii stops the violence -- sort of

After six successful generations of hard plastic accessories, who could've guessed that generation seven would bring with it the Wiimote's penchant for screen destruction and innocent-bystander injury? That's why nobody batted an eye at those shiny and solid Wii Sports attachments for simulating golf clubs and tennis rackets in the beginning, but a few contusions later we're all looking for a way to cut down on risk. Enter Nerf with soft, forgiving, foam-built attachments for a bit of added realism for your golf, tennis or baseball game without all the pain. No word on price yet for these suckers, but we've got a feeling they'll be selling like gangbusters when they hit shelves this Summer. Hopefully next up will be a Manhunt 2 Nerf pack with various, erm, attachments for bumping the realism to Rockstar's upcoming murder simulator -- 'cause hitting your buddies with a Nerf baseball bat is only fun the first 500 times or so.

I was sceptical about those broken Wii Straps Until last weekend. 8 blokes and beer and some hectic games of wii tennis resulted in one smashed wiimote and one frayed and snapped strap.

They do break. All I can say is I am glad it didnt hit my LCD TV.

people will still find a way to break things (or people) in their houses.
