    My dad works at Humana andthey are starting a twice a month deal where they will go to a retirement home and have people play the wii. My dad dragged me into this and wants me to find simple, easy to play games for them. So other than wii sports what games would be easy for them to play

    I'm a disgrace to wii owners... I GOT A PS3!!!!

    Boom Blox might do the trick.

    George Orwell once said,
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

    We ask for truth all the time, but when that truth threatens to tear apart the fundamental beliefs of your world, can you still accept it?

    Hmmm . . . Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. No that might be a LITTLE too hard . . . hmm . . . Wario ware? No too fast . . . Well, my dad's not that good (not old either though . . .) but he likes Elebits and Wii play. Although sometimes those games might get a little bit too fast for them. even. But, I dunno.

    Considering your father works for an insurance company I would assume the goal is to get seniors more active. That being said I would suggest keeping it simple as most seniors are not that tech savy. Wii Sports is going to be the best choice. The golfers might enjoy Tiger Woods with the settings modified to make it as forgiving as possible.

    Mario Kart, Carnival games and Summer Sports: Paradise Island would also be good choices.

    Just remember keep it simple. Pick games where the controls are simple and easy to learn.
