If Tiger Woods 09 was the game i was talking about then most certainly not. Although an impressive game on the Xbox 360 and PS3, (see Sony Playstation PS3 Review) I say impressive, that of course goes to people who enjoy playing a golf game over a shooter. This years edition of the game will most certainly tempt me simply because of the new Nintendo technology. Why on earth would I bother to do this? It’s certainly not because I’m saving money on electric golf trolleys that’s for sure. However it is in fact due to Nintendo facing that in fact their motion sensing technology however amazing it is to five year olds, it just doesn’t work as well as it should. Now Nintendo have let their fans down a lot over the last couple of years with their useless family games that really do not appeal to the fans at all but, with the new MotionPlus part that connects to the bottom of the Wii remote the games will actually start to respond in the way that it should.
This surely makes playing golf games such as Tiger Woods 10 perfect for when it’s a bit stormy out and there is no way your favourite course is going to be open. You get to feel al the stress of a real golfer by deciding on what club to choose, what the wind direction is and how hard you actually have to hit the ball.
The new game which is due out later this year will sell more than than last years edition that much is certain. Being rubbish at golf myself should mean that I would be equally as bad at Tiger Woods but it makes it a lot easier than the real thing and even if you do find yourself failing then you still have the safety knowing that only you and your family will see you fail rather than the whole golf course. As an added bonus you can shout as loud as you want without some old guy moaning at you for being too loud! Although watching someone fail to hit the ball very far on the Wii will be amusing it certainly will not be anywhere close to when I was an assistant greenkeeper at my local golf course and took great pleasure in watching some of the golfers fail miserably.
The best thing of all is that you no longer have to charge golf batteries up, just walk into the room, pick up the remote and have a game!

Has Technology made Life Easier?
We have certainly traveled far along the road of technological improvements - haven’t we? When you pause to consider the technology we have in comparison with days gone by, it is mind boggling, isn’t it?
The modern conveniences that are available to the masses today are incredible. Just a short 100 years back, very few people had cars. In modern times, virtually every person has a car. Some have more than one.
And think about the folks with mobility problems: Powerful stairlifts did not exist 100 years ago. Today there are a range of devices and products available for those who need additional mobility both in a vehicle and at home.
Today’s technology makes it possible for some folks to live a life that would not have been available to them 100 years ago. That is the good part.
Yet, there are still problems to conquer. Gum disease is a problem which is characterized in the beginning by the need to stop bleeding gums. It’s strange to think that we still can not beat simple gingivitis after thousands of years of being plagued by it.
Modern medicine may have slipped a bit on that one. But teeth whitening reviews abound on the Internet today. This is because at-home teeth whitening has become quite popular. This is an item that wasn’t within reach of the common man 100 years ago.
One tip about that: Please do NOT ever try to lighten your teeth with lemon juice – That is an urban legend that should be completely ignored. The lemon juice can cause great damage to your tooth enamel – please never do that.
Medically speaking, it is getting better and better. Heart surgery has advanced. But it leaves me with a sad thought. We should turn our attention to the area that really needs improvement: Prevention.
At the same time, we really should develop our ability to work with nature instead of against. Are there natural substances that can clean our arteries and help us avoid heart surgery in the first place?
Despite that, I’m optimistic. I am left speculating with wild imagination what we might have available to us in the next 60 years or so.I am anticipating the thrill of finding out.
