Just got a Wii with Wii play and Wii Sports. Seems like fun so far.
Anybody else got one? Are you able to play either of those game online? What games should i buy next? |

The only game I have which you can play online is mario strikers charged. I've not tried it online yet though just been playing with my mates when they come round.
Rayman is good fun multiplayer (and not bad 1 player it's just all of the multiplayer bits glued together though with a poor storyline) & sonic is good multiplayer too (but really really crappy 1 player) Are you looking for multiplayer games or 1 player games? Any games your already tempted with? worto. |

Depending on the game, try to go easy the first few times. I don't know if it was because of the poorly designed setup at the time, but after a few hours I began to have slight pain coming from my wrist.
Obviously, it's really person dependant... Just make sure you don't overdo it.   GMT minus 5 Qubec, Canada         "I am on a hot streak... Literally." |

I was thinking of getting one, but they're just a little bit over priced for my liking here, if it doubled as a DVD player I might have.

supposedly they're going to bring out a Wii with DVD (normal not HD) around christmas time.
I like mine so far. it's tiny! And I've only smacked my wife with the controller once so far. Really messed up her tennis server when I whacked her on the elbow by mistake |

Yea PS3 is stupid, I'd buy another PC before getting one of those, event the XBOX360 is over priced in my opinion, WII is close to the mark, but I know I won't use it enough to warrant it.

I kept saying this since almost a year now... Where are the consoles of our youth? I remember my father bough me a NES for roughly 100 bucks, including two controllers and two games with a photo gun in that package!
Later on, SNES and Sega Genesis were not that much more costly than about 150$, and the games getting out certianly didn't cost 80$ each... *sigh* And all that for what? Increase of graphics you say? What's the fun in that?  GMT minus 5 Qubec, Canada  "I am on a hot streak... Literally." |

My tactic is to wait until they have been out a couple of years. I like the look of the Wii but will wait until the price comes down. The other advantage of waiting is that there are lots of cheap games on ebay and that there has been enough time for several really good games to come out.
I bought a PS2 fairly soon after they came out and to be honest have been very dissapointed by the number of good games for it. I certainly won't be buying a PS3, not least because I suspect the HD DVD player in it will be crap. The one in the PS2 was worse than one of the no-name ones you can pick up in Tesco's for 40. I picked up a Game Cube and several games for under 100 six months ago and it has been fantastic. The graphics aren't very good but the game play is great. I saw them in a local shop last week for 25! Cheap consoles still exist, as long as you are prepared to wait for them.

I waited ages for a ps2, got one from my mate for 80 with 2 controllers and a whole bunch of games. Sold a lot of them and made 40, and bought some excellent titles. The PS2 really has been the best console I've ever owned, some of the games are brilliant. And I still haven't played Okami or God of War 2, and a whole load of others still coming out!

i got a game cube pretty early, i imagine it was a bit expensive (christmas present, i didn't pay for it
 ) but i've already gotten enough play time out of SSB: melee to warrant the cost, if i had spent all that time bowling, or going out to the movie theatre i prolly would have spent ten times the money  and that's just the time spent playing that one game!PLANT A BLADE IN YOUR ENEMY'S EYE!

any body get metroid 3? Played 40 minutes of it so far and it rocks. The control system is (almost) as good as a mouse and keyboard.
Plays like a FPS but with puzzles. I like it. |
