Sounds more like a plea or wishful thinking as far as I'm concerned. Trying to convince himself that the gaming industry is just singing cumbuyah.

Sales DO matter, it shows the consumer interest and buying habits.

What the hell is this dude talking about? Tha's the dumbest line I've read today. Tiger is Casual all of a sudden because it proves a Third Prty game from an established series does very well on Wii? So now lets just deam it "casual".

And lets be honest the way forum dwellers use the word casual is really just code for "retarded" the game was a good game on PS2 back in 05, but now not so much? Motion Plus has really given that franchise new life.

Anyone who says the Wii has no good games at this point in its life is simply a hater and deserves to be ignored.

Scissor: I know Conduits selling well but 1.11m? I've no doubt it will get there eventually but has it gotten there so soon?

Wii First
Xbox Second
PS3 Third

Am I in the right ballpark?

Seeing as Prime 3 is probably my favorite single player game this gen, its hard for me to admit, but Conduit actually bests Prime in the controls department. I've heard even Red Steel 2 is adding a feature similar to Conduits customizable controls, it is that liberating.

In all honesty, I was going to sit this gen out because the focus was pretty much, the same games with a fresh coat of paint. (There are exceptions) But I didn't even get into the Wii until nearly a year after ...

FC's can be a bit of an annoyance, but there is a reason that was implemented as well. Some of the larger companies like EA, for example can bypass FC's because they have their own servers and whatnot. HVS doesn't have that luxury, but what can you do?

I don't think Conduit is AAA calibur..whatever AAA is but it does get a lot of things right, and alot of things not so right. But considering it is a new IP from a somewhat young development team, they've really done quite well. ...

But that is besides the point. I agree that level design was lacking but you can't just marginalize the control freedom and precedent they've acheived with The Conduit. Also Multiplayer is awesome, and worthy of purchase on that merit alone. The singleplayer is not as weak as people claime, and it is really just practice for the online battles to come.

I feel HVS went conservative with The Conduit though, and I am looking forward to how far they push their engine and themselves...

About this is the DS is already the highest selling machine of all time in Japan, how it continues to sell truckloads is just ungodly.

Even care about motion control? I mean I see the marketing hype already for both Natal and the Wand, but the thing I don't see are games or even sincere developer interest. I think there is going to be quite the backlash from fans of the 360 and PS3 because they bought the system for what it offers now, and Motion controls were a gimmicky fad that they wanted no part of.

I suppose we'll see how it turns out. But what people sometimes overlook is it is not quite as simple as &qu...

People love Zelda in the first place? It's the gameplay and content. Without those two things no one would give a damn about the story.

I actually think they should reboot the series' story. I feel that since OoT all other Zelda's have been bound to stay within that realm. Where as OoT had free reign to really just go wild.

But again if the gameplay and content doesn't wow us then the story will be forgetable as well. When did gamers start playing games for stori...

If all you got from what I wrote was some sort of conspiracy theory about negative reviews for Wii games, then you sir are an ameba. Though I do agree that this websites review was not paid for, its a small blog site.

But to each is own.

As for Cherry...on second thought no comment. Dual analogue vs IR controls...that's a no brainer..for anyone with a brain.

What are you talking about? There is no defending necessary here. Most people who played the game love it, which is in stark contrast to the majority of "reviews" out there. No way is this game a 5/10, there just seems to be a huge bias against this game simply because its on the Wii.

I could careless about the bad reviews though, and its funny how the bad reviews get all kinds of traffic but the good reviews are barren of any comments. The real reviews people should ...

I agree, Galaxy had areas that were just stunning, that Volcano level was very easy on the eyes. Technically Galaxy blows Prime 3 out of the water but artistically Prime 3 blows it out of the water. I'd be curious to see what Retro could do on an engine like quantom 3.

Game devs and what not didn't understand was that it was never about the Bond lisence that made the game great, that was just the icing on the cake. It was the game, the content, the gameplay, the graphics, the total package really. I mean how many nights were spent on that multiplayer? Classic game.

In my opinion Metroid Prime 3 is probably the best looking game on Wii and artistically wipes the floor with games on other platforms as well, locked at 60fps. I mean the game is just gorgeous. The tech powering the Conduit is excellent, but I feel HVS were conservative this time, games like Grinder will hold up much better I think. But I had to chuckle, its definitely the player and not the game if you can't get the controls, I mean they allow you to tweak and change ANYTHING.

So glad I think for myself and didn't listen to these nonsensical reviews. I'm having a blast with the game. Graphically inferior but control superior.

That's the lamest excuse I've ever read. The real answer is simple fanboy "double standard"

As Mini Mario explained shovelware was around heavily during the the PS1/2 eras and easily outnumbered the good games. Thing is the only games people remember are the good games on the PS2. But the haters on Wii want to ignore the good games and focus on the crap.

SNES, probably the greatest library ever had tons of shovelware, it comes with the territory of be...

Hasn't been the reason for Wii selling in the stratosphere why would that change anytime soon? Especially with financial situations worsening? Wii HD is a patcher phrased thing, Who knows if Nintendo will even stick with the whole Wii thing? No one knows what to expect from Nintendo and those that pretend they do just end up looking like fools.

Is this gen so boring that people need to continually begin hyping "next gen" already?
