"My job definitely has its perks. First off, I get to handle gadgets and gizmos every day. That in and of itself is enough to keep me happy. But then there are the additional perks, like attending fun, informative press events. Even though Wii Sports Resort ($49.99) isn&amp;#039;t set to be released until this Sunday, I had the opportunity to have a sneak peek today. Nintendo set up an island oasis today in Times Square to demonstrate the new game to the media and lucky public. But my fun didn&amp;#039;t stop there. There was a special guest appearance by Gossip Girl and People&amp;#039;s Hottest Bachelor Chace Crawford. And ladies, let me tell you, he was quite dreamy.   Now, back to the electronics. Wii Sports Resort is building on the popularity of Wii Sports, including a dozen resort-themed activities (Archery, Frisbee, Basketball, Cycling, Canoeing, Power Cruising, Table Tennis, Air Sports, Bowling, Swordplay, Golf and Wakeboarding.). Wii Sports Resort will come bundled with Wii Motion Plus, an accessory which allows users to more closely mimic the physical reality of playing sports. I was able to test this out firsthand today, trying my hand at the table tennis game. While I was quite happy with the original Wii Sports table tennis game, this was definitely a more realistic experience. It allowed me to get spin on the ball, which I wasn&amp;#039;t able to do before. I definitely see a lot of Rothman family game night competitions ahead!   Over the course of the next few weeks there will be a Wii Sports Resort tour traveling across the country. Check out the Wii Sports Resort website to see if it will be by your hometown sometime soon! And read about how the Wii Fit was one of the recipients of our First Annual VIP (Very Innovative Products) Awards. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
