I've also enjoyed Force Unleashed, both of the Medal of Honor titles (when they weren't beaten by newer models). WarioWare is good too, and I have a couple of GH titles. (and a few more, but those are the good ones)

Ah, so what you're saying is that YOU, personally, don't like it. Not that it is an "epic fail" -- a term so overused it means less than nothing. See, you can avoid confrontation by saying what you mean. Unless you're just someone who is rude enough to desire conflict everywhere.

I absolutely value graphics... but Nintendo didn't have the budget to throw a crapload more investment into their system, they weren't doing well financially, and had to choose, gameplay, or graphics. They chose the infinitely right choice (look at how well the Wii's sell, considering that the Wal*Mart I work at has only reliably had them in stock for a couple of months now).

Whats more is that now we can expect good graphics from Nintendo's next console, now that they are rolling in some well-earned dough.

I'd take the Wii more seriously if the games used this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw) Otherwise, it's really just a novelty. I'm not a graphics whore (I play 480p on a television that's as old as me), but I do lament the "friend codes" system. Thus, I play on the 360 because I like the Xbox LIVE service (my favorite feature is avoiding people). I would play on the PS3, but I'm not strapped for cash. Also, I somehow have a hard time convincing my parents to get it as a Blu Ray player.

Btw, sorry to go off topic, but a system admin for MS (apparently he's in Nashville, Tennesse) threatened to ban my account and IP address because he thinks I cheat (I beat him in a public FFA match on CoD4). Is this something I should be worried about?

Can play Wii's over the net as well. Like the XBox 360. Can use it as a media center. Like Xbox 360. Can use it to browse the net (why, for god's sake? Computers are better at it) like the Xbox 360.

No I haven't but it looks hilarious, going to have to download it.

And make sure I get Buzz as the doll, nothing will please me more than to hear Jason Donovan's voice in pain lol.
There's lots of cute girls (my fiance flings them) and apparently he bought the Hoff too. I think buying the other characters is fairly cheap.

Next time I jump on the PS I will be searching for it, thanks for the next party game.

My fiance is using his to pull content from hulu.com and other places off the net....

I think he's worked out how to pull stuff off his server, too.


How do you find it. My experience is that the quality is pretty poor. But it will be interesting to try again, when I have the time,.

He's got some tinkering and tweaking to do, that's the truth. But he refuses to let any POSSIBLE use a system can be put to alone! ;)

I don't particularly like the Wii, but at least it's more reliable than my poor X-Box. :(

X-Box 360 is really the way to go those if you like playing onlines games in your room all alone. Wii is for if your a geek with friends. And if you love the Ace Combat series and what to play Call of Duty:World At War then its a Xbox 360 you be getting...

I need a larger tv before I'd get a wii. I'll stick with my NES and enjoy the wii at friends' houses for now.

I have a PS2 and an original X-Box, and see no reason to spend money on the current generation of systems...I'll wait until the next generation, at which point I might just have the high-def TV that will actually make such a purchase worthwhile.

Or the Wii, I play online quite a bit.

The 360 has the best online experience, sure, but you have to pay for it... what a load of crap, I already pay for my internet.

Never played it on the Wii, the Wii just doesn't have that sort of image for me to be playing game like that.

Yes, it is crap you have to pay for it, not to mention the PS3 players are more skilled and so provide much more of a challenge.

What games have you played?Just the games that my friends have had. Mainly Wii Sports, MarioKart and Super Smash Bros. I think someone had a sims-esque game, and Rayman party games set with weird rabbit things.

I guess what I mean is I want to see an RPG that makes good use of Wii, and none of my friends have such a game.

Zelda, and Force Unleashed both have really good control schemes. I like MarioKart... but that probably doesn't satisfy the 'complex' requirement of your statement.

That's because you all play for 5 hours straight. But I do have to agree with you, I find PS3 players harder to kill.

Force Unleashed I'm a little more dubious of as I tried it on the Xbox but I got stuck on a boss fight, got into a sulk, refused to consult the internet and never played it again. But then it might be more enjoyable with a different way form of interaction. Maybe the combo system might be more interesting.

I do like MarioKart, but you're right, I want a game with a more complex input than just accelerate, brake, use and analog left/right. I think I want a game that uses a gesture-like system, but with the wiimote.

^This and I most certainly do not play for five hours striaght. Why today I played for about 2 hours which was broken up into two sections.

I think the longest I have played COD would be about 3.5 hours and that was once maybe twice. It is rare that I do that.

Mariokart in the Wii is shit, Mariokart64 is a lot better than Mariokart Wii.

No but the PS3 isn't worth the extra hundred or so dollars just for better graphics and more "skilled" players. Which is only because all the idiots are too cheap for a PS3. (Like me.)

I heared that with the crappy Wii aiming system in COD:WAW. Most people just use a n00b tube or SMGs and spray & pray. Is that true?

You're kidding, right? I love the PS3, but the X-box blows it out of the water when it comes to co-op games.

Nothing wrong with either tactic. Good players will easily gun down anyone trying either.

I was talking about the Xbox online play compared to the Wii which is usually played with friends for the best enjoyment of it. I didn't know the Xbox 360 had co-op games and I pleasantly surpise by that as I thought only the gamcube had them!

Yes, but I find that if everybody just uses one gun or tries to kill everyone in the same way then the game get old quicker and you are unable to enjoy the entire game and it great selection of weapons and the tatics that come with different weapons and perks.

But hey do whatever you want. Whatever makes the game fun for you and yes good players will kill them.I agree. I just think its stale if everybody does the same thing all the time.

Well it also has a Blu-ray player, stores media compaitable with your PSP, and an internet browser among other things.

What is a n00b tube?

As for co-op games both the X-Box360 and PS3 systems have online co-op games.

Don't need or want a blu-ray player,a PSP and I happen to already be able to use the internet. :p

A noob tube is a rifle grenade for a semi-auto rifle that is easy to get kills with(such to unlock the rifle grenade attachment) and has two grenades. What a very crappy players does is fire both of them and gets at least two kills and then deids and then repeats this over and over again to get a 2:1 Kill-Death ratio. As you could probably guess its doesn't take much skill to use it. If you did this tatic on the PS3 or Xbox 360 COD:WAW you would be flame for being a very crappy player. But with the Wii poor aiming sights(because of it system). That and spray and praying with unblanced SMGs is the only way to get any kills.

COD:WaW has much,much to offer then that.

Ah yes the genade launchers terrible things, some people do use them on PS3 bloody hate it when they do but there are ways to beat them around it. I would use the genade launcher in COD4 as an attachment but I wouldn't use it in the way you described.

What is your K/D ratio?

COD:WaW has much,much to offer then that.

Indeed it does.

I love my Wii. I'ts the first console I ever owned - my parents didn't believe in them.

I play WiiSports and WiiFit a lot, and play mariokart occasionally.
