I still am amazed at how hard this Wii stuff is for some people to find.  It seems like the stores around here always have piles of them when I am there

if you had a wii you could download mostly all of those games for about 5 bucks each...   :roll:

Yup, it's a nifty service. Sometime ago they also added WiiWare where you can download completely new games. I'd buy some of the old games but I basically have all of them (or at least the good ones).

...i hope you have a Wii and a balance board. apparently thats the only way this game is worth a shit.
the 360 and ps3 versions apparently suck pretty bad.


anyway, with this week of releases the onslaught of the last two months of big Video game releases has wrapped up just in time for me to make a christmas wish list full of all the games i cant afford, but so badly need to play!
Prince of persia came of this week to less than stellar reviews, with the graphical advancements being the major highlight.

XPLAY has their Award show last night, and though Metal Gear Solid 4 seeemed to have the most awards overall, FABLE 2 came home with the game of the YEar trophy.
honestly fable 2 is on my short list of games i REally need to play, but i've finally managed to make some headway into the behemoth of FALLout 3 and i really have zero time to spare for another RPG right now.
besides Fallout i have my current shooter with SOCOM, and my sports game in NBA LIVE and madden 09. so i'm pretty well rounded right now.
though,  here is my short list of titles i missed this year, but will definitely play eventually:
1. MEtal GEar Solid 4
2. Little Big Planet
3. Resistance 2
4. Fable 2

now, i have to research and start making a list of upcoming titles for the 1st quarter of 09!
and there are quite a few exciting things coming about.
-first of all is DLC for fable2, GTA 4, and Fallout 3... gee whiz i havent even finished the first part of any of these yet!
then SKATE 2 is due out january 21. this i will be picking up the day its out if at all possible.
lord of the rings conquest is out jan 13... this is the game made by pandemic and is basically star wars battlefronts for Middle Earth.  its looking pretty tight if your into that sorta thing.
further down the road includes--
Street fighter 4, Feul...and a few other random games i cant recall right now, AS wELL as the first BIG wave of MMOs to hit the consoles-- Champions online for 360 and DC universe for ps3 are both slated for early 09 i believe... good thing i'm getting a keyboard for my ps3 for christmas so i can post to the paug, otherwise i might be MIA!

oh yeah, one more thing,,, if you didnt know already certain online arcade games are free this month on XBOXLIve including street fighter 2 hd remix.

peace and games. happy new year.
hope everyone gets at least one game in their stocking!

:banana:

oh and whats the word on tom clancy's end war?  i DL'd the demo last night but haven't had a chance to play it... any good?

I played a bit of it on my buddy's 360. The voice commands work surprisingly well and the online is sweet. Then again, the campaign sucks and the three factions are basically the same units with different names. Still a great step in the industry. I'd rent it if you did like the demo.

[jedifunk]

is it entirely voice command?

[Caravan2001]

Shaun White for PS3 pretty much blows, which sucks, because I was so fired up for it.  Skating and snowboard games are my fave, so it was disappointing.  I am sure it rules with the board, the graphics are good...

[whyweigh5.0]

yeah, the 360 version is pretty meh also

[VA $l!m]

you CAN control it completely w/ VC, though button control is possible as well.
the bottom line about this game... i played the demo was very stoked, read all the reviews, etc... IS that it is the first perfectly executed VC game. it works seemlesly, and graphically its very nice. though as far as RTS games go it is VERY simplistic, and the very limited types of units come down to basically a rock, paper, scissors game. one plus is the persistent online multiplayer campaign, but i passed on this one. just too many other titles better deserving of my $.

BTW, jedi, i know you are the big PES fan, but the new FIFA got really good reviews just so you know.


anyway, today i'm stoked to own a PS3.
1. HOME Finally comes out today! cant wait to get home from work today and start it up!

2. i played my first DVD this morning and the DVDupconversion from STandard-def. to HD is FANtastic!
my copy of 4-3-98 looked crystal clear and tight. upconverting to 720p really kicks it up a notch from just playing it in my normal dvd player.
