Hello, readers. Welcome to the latest in our series of Wii Roundups, or as I'm campaigning to have them rebranded, Why Roundups. As in, why did anyone make these games, why would anyone buy them and why do they always land on my desk? The pile is now so big my desk resembles a stall at a jumble sale. If I half-close my eyes I can believe I am in a church hall, surrounded by clothes that smell of sick and dead people's jigsaws.

Our old friend racing couldn't be here this week (doubtless he's still playing Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Mario Kart Wii), but the good news is that he's sent along an able substitute: sports! So it's sports and shooting in the land of new game releases and everyone can relax.
