The thing I like best about the bowling is when you throw the ball backwards and everybody jumps!

I made Paul do that because one of the first times we went out we went bowling and he accidentally threw it backwards twice due to nerves - so it makes the experience more real if he does it occasionally!

Zelda is awesome. It really brings you into the game doing the actions with the wiimotes.

How cool is this? DRZ and I were playing the bowling game and guess who I spotted waiting for a go in the background? Feek!

Excellent, and I bet you could tell it was me even without the name!

I'll answer this now that I've had more time to play it. I think it's very realistic indeed. I used to bowl regularly, two or three times a week and the action as the ball hits the pins has been very well simulated. My average when I used to league bowl was around 170 and I'm on the same average on the Wii.

I get the same feeling of disapointment when I see what looks like a perfect pocket ball go in, but leaving a big split as I do when it happens for real, and I do the same 'pulling the chain' movement when I get a strike. It's just natural.

Perhaps because I used to bowl so often and took it so seriously, all the old actions have come back and I imagine I look a bit of a tit! I don't just stand there and swing my arm but take a step and do it as I would do.

It's especially good as I can't bowl for real any more due to my knackered shoulder.
