Digital Trends gives the Wii a VERY thorough review

Serious gaming enthusiasts can subtract about 0.2-0.5 points from our official review score for the first six months. But come late 2007, you can add that back and then some.

And, potentially, as the company’s claimed it’s planned on doing for quite some time now, light the spark that could ignite an entire game industry revolution.
