Another retirement community celebrates gaming with Wii

You know full well that senior citizens have been getting their game on with the Wii like crazy folk. Now, at the Briton House Retirement Residence, a short workshop was conducted so that seniors in the retirement community could learn more about the Wii and its health benefits, hopefully putting to rest any apprehensions or apathy these seniors might have had towards not only the Wii, but gaming in general. For some, it seems to have worked.

Barbara Foley, 85 years young, says her grand kids all play and often exclaim that it isn't difficult at all.

"I liked it," she exclaimed immediately after playing, further adding "Kids today really know something."
