We Ski

We Ski
Publisher: Namco
Platforms: Wii
Rating: E � Everyone
Game type: Sports
Rating: *** (out of five)

What�s the premise?
Hop on board the new Wii Balance Board (if you�ve managed to find a copy of the ultra-hot new Wii Fit) or simply use your Wii-mote and Nunchuk as you hit the slopes on any of the 14 different runs at the Happy Ski Resort.

This game is most similar to�?
The slalom skiing component of Wii Fit.

Is it suitable for younger gamers?
My three- and five-year-old sons tried We Ski out, both with and without the Balance Board, and while they liked the experience, they bored of it quite quickly with a rather direct: �Is this all it does?�

One player or more?
Up to four players can race at a time (and good luck finding four Balance Boards).

The (not-so) secret to success is�?
Some-bunny loves you. Just like in real skiing, you probably shouldn�t start out on the triple black diamond runs. Don�t fret beginning on the bunny slope with the rest of the newbies.

What�s missing?
While you can control your turns quite easily with both the Wii-mote and the Board, the game fails to deliver a really great feeling of speed control.

And in the end?
Considering Wii Fit already includes slalom skiing and ski jumping games, you may not feel a burning desire for We Ski unless you�re a real fan of the sport.

Bridget reveals heartache

For Bridget Moynahan, bringing her newborn son home alone last year was �frightening� � and far from a dream � she reveals to Harper�s Bazaar.

�I�m not sure anyone � and I could be wrong in this � grows up thinking, �I want to be a single mom,� � Moynahan, 37, says in the magazine�s July issue.

Shortly after the end of her three-year relationship with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady � who is dating model Gisele B�ndchen � Moynahan announced her pregnancy, People.com reports.

�When you�re suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you�re in your 30s, it�s a hard conversation. I�m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that�s the way I�d be doing this,� she says. �For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family.�

She gave birth to John � whom she gave her last name � last August. �I walk in and just started sobbing,� she says of coming home alone with her son. �All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It�s frightening.�
