Wiiminder brings tabbed web browsing to the Wii

by Brad Linder Feb 20th 2007

The thing about using a Nintendo Wii to browse the web is that you've got to use a remote control and a pretty basic web browser by Opera. Sure, it can show full screen and zoomed-in versions of web pages, but what about tabbed browsing?

Well, the folks at Warp Pipe Technologies pick up where Opera's developers left off, and have developed Wiiminder -- a tabbed browsing interface. There's no software to install, all you have to do is direct your Wii Opera browser to Wiiminder.com. If you visit the site with a non-Wii browser, you'll see a promotional video, which we have after the jump.

I hope the final version of Opera is even better then this.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
