I don’t really like the idea of the Swinger Video Sports as it reminds me of nothing but a cheap Wii rip-off. After all, you get a motion sensing controller along with gaming titles that involves the sport of bowling, golf, tennis, baseball and boxing.

All five sport games - bowling, boxing, baseball, golf, and tennis - are now available with the new Swinger Video Sports. This is an activity for everyone - not too much exertion for young or old, but a nice get-off-the-sofa-and-move-about benefit for all. It’s easy to set up and easy to play. Using a handheld wireless remote, you simply point it at the TV and gently swing it, and the on-screen action is controlled by your movement. Enjoy one or two-player simultaneous action. Comes with a sleek base unit, two controllers, two secondary controllers (nunchakus), and five fun games. The Swinger is more than a game, it’s a social opportunity. Granddad can play with grandson, father with daughter, aunt with nephew - once you see how it’s done, you won’t be able to resist getting in on the fun.

Well, save that $69.95 for a Nintendo Wii IMHO for a genuine gaming experience. After all, how many times can you go through the sports titles before you get bored?
