What is it? The spiritual successor to “Wii Sports,” this collection of fun and quick minigames not only lets you go jet skiing or toss a Frisbee around the beach with your dog, but also allows you to smack your friend with a stick until they fall off a platform, "American Gladiator" style. Sold!
Why will it keep you inside? Hey, we can't all be as graceful on a jet ski in real life.
