During the holidays, it’s common for someone to put the good old-fashioned Yule Log on TV for much needed atmosphere. Now there’s a virtual alternative in the form of Korner Entertainment’s Fireplacing on WiiWare. This 500-point download lets you enjoy the warm glow of a fireplace all year round without having to worry about burning the house down. We just wish it were more interactive.
