Some of you may not know that we do have a Wii and 2 PlayStation 2 consoles available for libraries to borrow for programming. The Wii has a variety of games with it. One PS2 has Dance Dance Revolution, and the other has Guitar Hero. Check out the Games Packages page for more information on the packages and how to reserve them.

If you have suggestions of other games, please let Jean Anderson know. We can't promise we'll buy everything, but we'll consider it.

So, right now, we're not going to be able to support that particular game. But, please, pass along other suggestions to Jean!
