    The Wii Countdown

    Spuds, you tire the hell out of me. You're right. The transition will be a short one. THAT'S A GOOD THING. The novelty will wear off, but not in a bad way! Do you honestly believe that Wii will be a flash in the pan and that the next round of systems will go back to regular gamepad...

    The Wii Countdown

    "Our play test lasted for about an hour in all, and it gave us the opportunity to get a feel for how the Wii controller fits in to the game. One thing that's for sure is that the coordination required won't necessarily come easy, especially when you're combining looking and moving with zooming...

    I can think of several. Mario Zelda Metroid Donkey Kong Pikmin Most Mario sports games, esp. Kart Smash Bros. Mario Party Wario Ware Nintendo has their proprietary software going for them in a big way (at least, those are the games and characters I like to see). I will buy the system that...

    Question of the Day

    Your logic presents a new and interesting possibility. Do you think that games will be made at home, as "home movies" are? It's only a matter of somebody coming up with super simple 3D rendering and animation software, and a really easy programming language or method.

    The Wii Countdown

    it was pure coincidence, Spuds. I don't consider the tech specs to be "potential" anymore. Video games are good. They've all got good graphics, sound, blah blah blah. Wii has potential to be different and interesting on levels that are impossible for the other two options because of the...

    Question of the Day

    QOTD: Do you think video games will ever surpass movies as an industry? I think yes. There are already a number of people who say they'd rather spend $50 on a game that they will enjoy for 15 or 20 hours than $10 on a movie they will only enjoy for 2 hours. Kids growing up are playing more...

    I didn't say we had to restrict content to Nintendo only! Go ahead and make comparisons if it's appropriate. Just stop getting so bloody fired up about it! Anyway - Jeff's on the money. I'm worried about the ports too. There are certain types of games that simply won't work very well with the...

    Um, hey guys? Who cares which system is better? Why are you all engaged in this immature pissing contest? What personal vested interest do any of you have in one console over another. Yes, we have our favourites (mine is wii, because of its potential), but the only thing I don't like about PS3...

    Anybody feeling charitable?

    I'm sure some of you folks have web sites of your own that get a decent amount of traffic. I'm begging for some ad space to promote my store, paddywhack. If anybody who has the means is feeling charitable enough to post links/banners/text ads or anything like that, please PM me. More product...

    Do it. It's really good. And fun. And from what I read, not repetitive. The ratings on it have been really good, but I've heard nothing about it. I just picked it up in the store and said, huh... this looks interesting. I'm really glad I stumbled upon it. I guess it's what you call a "Sleeper...

    I think you're talking about the Nintndo Fusion Tour. It's a music festival type thing and they have demo booths and whatnot and Ninty SWAG.
