A week ago we posted about a sweet Wii gun mod that was modeled after an MP5. Here’s another gun mod that combines Wii and Counter-Strike. It is, in the words of it’s creator, a DESERT EAGLE WITH OFFICIAL MARKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you constantly leave your Wii-mote lying around? Do you find it stuck under the couch cushions between some moldy Fritos and loose pocket change? Maybe it’s time you found a place to keep your controller so it doesn’t keep getting lost.

If you just can’t get enough of Link’s Crossbow Training for the Wii, have I got an accessory for you. Sure the hour-long game already comes inside the package with Nintendo’s Wii Zapper, but that’s not really a crossbow, is it?
What’s kind of wacky about the weapon is that they’ve actually covered up the tip…

In between all the reports of who’s got the thinnest flat screen at this week’s CES show, it’s easy to overlook some of the hidden treasures to be uncovered at the trade show. Take, for instance, this great new wireless controller for the Nintendo Wii.
