If you recall my editorial from yesterday I covered many of the problem gifts given to gamers by well meaning but ill-informed family members. Far be it for me to expect any more from my own family, the irony stick has struck me hard as I received what can only be described as the world's worst Wii knock off.

Rather than simply dismiss this gift as a January return I decided to bust it out and give it a whirl. Here it is the offending item.

The zone 40 is a wannawii that features over 40 games ranging from fencing to a Pacman clone called cat and mouse, surprisingly its control pad is actually quite good it reacts well to motion and quickly translates the movement on screen the main problem is that the graphics in the games belong in the 16bit era and the controller only recognizes one motion "the waggle". That's right in the games you either press a button or waggle the controller so for fishing if you want to cast you waggle if you want to reel in you waggle. this thing is beyond bad!!

The worst thing is this console cost my relative almost £40!! That's a third of the price of a Wii I could get a preowned PSP or DS for this.there isn't enough exclamation marks in the world to showhow bad this is :P

If you also received a less than thrilling product as a Xmas gift post it below, it doesn't even have to be game related or if you have had a good year post your worst gift ever.
