Genius’ Wizard Stick Wireless Motion Joystick Now Available

Hmmm.. it’s like playing the Wii but on your computer. Seriously though it looks like something my kids would be more than happy to get their hands on. The Genius Wizard Stick is a wireless joystick that very much resembles a Wii remote and apparently works just like one. Included with the remote is Sega Virtua Tennis 2009 and access to 16 flash games on a website. Price is only $59.99, which I think might be well worth it.
