Wiimote + Games + PC = Ultimate Fun

If you thought it would be fun to play games on the Nintendo Wii you should see the following Youtube videos to get an impression of what I consider ultimate fun. Developers have already been able to use basic applications like Google Earth in conjunction with the Wiimote and they finally managed to get some games working as well. All you need is a Wiimote, a Pc that has Bluetooth, some games that are supported and of course the software GlovePie.

This may sound much for now, take a look at some of the videos that I collected to convince you that this is the ultimate thing for now. You can expect to see the following games played using a Wiimote plus Nunchuck: Halflife 2, House of the Dead III, Panzer Dragoon and Rez. It looks good, plays fine and could be an option for pc game makers as well. Why not add Wiimote support to games ?
