PS3, Xbox 360 or Wii ???? - Page 16

Picked up a Wii Fit today at Target, and I have to say---it's pretty sweet.

btw, key to getting it at a Target: They get Nintendo shipments every day, but never know what's going to be on the truck. Their shipments come in around midday, but they don't shelf the newly arrived stuff until the next morning. So, your best bet is to stop by or call as soon as the store opens. I picked mine up at 8:45 Saturday morning...45 mins after the store opened, and they had about 4 left.

Cry little sister.

Even if you wear the suit?

I just finished it yesterday and it was a fulfilling experience. Any other 360 owners should buy or rent it, they won't be disappointed.

I really need to finish it at some point (same with GTA4, The Simpsons Game, Condemned 2, the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion, Mario Galaxy, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and I haven't even started Mass Effect yet...)

When I was young I had the time, but couldn't afford games. Now that I can afford them, I don't seem to have the time.

The Wii should be the pinnacle platform for shooters and sports games. GTA on a Wii would have been amazing. It ends up being a real missed opportunity. Then there is EA Sports who have totally fucked up every Wii version of their games. They take up space with Family Play which means less features that other consoles have. I was really looking forward to the new NCAA Football game but the reviews sound terrible. Including major features missing and 90's graphics. I am starting to regret getting a Wii because of the subpar versions of games and lack of games I'd spend 50 dollars on. Of the three major consoles, the Wii looks like the one to have the shortest lifespan if the lack of great games continue.

I continue to hate the fucking Wii. I like to actually play sports, not to pretend to play them....and if I do pretend to play them, it might as well be Madden '09 or whatnot.

I have a 360, and I love it.

Mass Effect is on deck for me. GTA IV, got to the final scene and cannot quite finish it. Best game I played on the 360 was Elder Scrolls, that shit was amazing.

Hah. I've never been much of a gamer, but if I have the time and the game's engrossing, then I'll go for it.

I'd buy the Ghostbusters game if it ever comes out... apparently it got dropped by its publisher before it was finished.

I'm not a big fan of the Wii either.

Been interested in playing Mass Effect for a while, tell me how it goes?

NSW and LeMac, do you dudes have Xbox Live? If so, add me. My gamertag is U2. (let me know if you add me so I don't reject the friend request, I get a kajillion because people somehow think I actually am U2 because of the "game with fame" things some bands do on Xbox Live)

UberBeaver · 08-06-2008, 12:39 PM

I have a Wii. I've played 5 games on it. There are no more games that interest me at this juncture. This sucks. I thought I'd like No More Heroes, but after 2 hours, I'd had enough. I hate GTA games, and I really hate GTA clones - though the killing was kinda fun for a while.

elevated_u2_fan · 08-06-2008, 12:47 PM

what games do you have Beav?

UberBeaver · 08-06-2008, 12:53 PM

Zelda, Okami, Marvel Alliance, Guitar Hero......I guess that's it. Oh - Zak and Wiki. I didn't really like that one though.

elevated_u2_fan · 08-06-2008, 12:59 PM

I have heard Zelda was all kinds of awesome and I have Okami on the PS2

what about Mario Universe or whatever it was called? It is supossed to be good.

UberBeaver · 08-06-2008, 01:05 PM

I'm more or less indifferent to Mario. And for $50, I can wait. Zelda and Okami were both great.

elevated_u2_fan · 08-06-2008, 01:11 PM

what about old-school stuff off the Virtual Console?

I don't understand the Virtual Console, but I think it costs money. I need to buy something for it, right?
