As far as the wii sports games go, I find that it takes quite a bit of skill to chip-in or put in from the other side of the green. That said, the practice IS inaccurate, but the actual swinging is much more sensitive. Bowling also takes skill to bowl consecutive strikes; I don't know what wii bowling the Joystiq Eds have been playing.
I have to say though, Cooking mama has worked just fine for me and my folks, with perhaps a bit of misunderstanding of the controls and difficulty on peeling potatoes.
Perhaps the single worst controls I've seen in a Wii game is Warioware, where 80% of the difficulty is figuring out how to use the buggy controls.
I have learned however, that placement of the sensor bar is key to good gameplay, as well as being aware of other IR sources, including reflections.
Man, every time I see these two together, Perrin hangs on Matt like a drunken cheap prom date. I swear, if I didn't know better, I'd say they were sleeping together.
Oh god, the Warriors are coming! Call the police! Get the Bomb Squad! Get the Spartans on the horn, the world is ending, DEAR GOD PANIC, EVERYBODY PANIC!
