Well it is not a muscle freak from the Guinness book of records who has a knack for gaming but it is President Obama who on January 20 will take office and be the most powerful gamer in the world. Nintendo did give Bush a DS and Brain age some years ago, but I doubt Dubya could handle the challenging Brain age puzzles.

The New York Times reports that the President elect -- who even took his campaign to the streets of Burnout Paradise -- gifted his daughters, Sasha and Malia, with a Nintendo Wii for Christmas ... but the head of the First Family has been playing with it, too. Apparently, Obama has been working on his bowling skills by playing Wii Sports. The President-in-waiting bowled a lowly 37 in the real-life sport while on the campaign trail, but tells the paper that he "performs better in the video game."
