The image didn't show up, Imp.

Anyway, I finally picked up God of War on the PS2 this last Sunday, and it's a blast. I'm not quite sure I like it better than Resident Evil 4, but it's definitely worth the $20 it retails for now.

None of it will matter when Residen Evil V releases.

Have you guys heard how Capcom is marketing it? They're calling it Black Hawk Down with Zombies!

From what I've seen it takes place completely during daytime, and the longer you stay in the sun the more it affects your health (kind of like Lost Planet) so you basically have to run from cover to cover.

Of course, between covers you're in the blinding daylight so when you go into the darkness it takes a second to adjust - but it's too late because you can see what is waiting for you. It looks to amp up the paranoia factor, something I don't think the RE games get enough credit for.

They're always credited for their violence, but those game wage psychological warfare on gamers.

I'm going for the wii in a couple of months. For me it's the best decision of the three. I don't have HD yet and won't for a while, I have two kids who play more than me and the idea of watching them go at it with the wii controllers sounds like a blast.

After watching random stangers enjoying the Wii at the mall, I'm inclined to think that Nintendo has a special, golden opportunity on their hands.

Plus, Super Mario Bros, Super Castlevania IV, R-Type, Toe-Jam & Earl and more are hitting the Virtual Console on Christmas Day.

I can't wait to get my hands on my Wii. :smile:

 

[casualimp]

Yeah, I'm hoping to get a Wii as well before or in the new year. There was no point in getting the Xbox 360 as previously wanted because I'd just be downgrading my graphics making it wii-like without the innovative control.

One of my friends has one and he won't shut up about the new zelda.

That Bob Ross game is in limbo for now. The people who own the rights took the liscense away from the people that would be developing it.

According to http://www.wiichat.com here a listing of games that are expected for the console by q4 of 2007:

Quite the list. Nice to see EA pushing the boundaries with groundbreaking and innovative original ideas. :roll:

Any bets that the Eidos game is part of the Tomb Raider franchise?

I am getting more than a little tired with endless rehashes and yearly "updates." In the age where every console is connected to some form of online service, do we really need a new sports game from EA every year?

Yet again, the only games on that list that excite me are Nintendo's first party titles, which are consistently stellar.

Would be interesting to see what Capcom does for RE on the Wii though...

 

[Number20]

Too many "untitled" games. These could be real games, or they could be basically an 'interest' in developing games for the system, and not nessicaraly will release a game. But there are quite a few good games on this list, and I'd love to play them.

Many games that are in development don't receive titles until even a year before release.

I'm guessing that the untitled games are based off of the reported business partnerships Nintendo inked with those companies when the Wii was announced.

Lucasarts has me interested. A lightsabre combat game is a given, but consider this: they are hard at work on a next...um, now-gen Indiana Jones game. I'm going to let that sink in for a second.

The Wii-mote would be awesome to use as a bullwhip, and the nunchuk as a gun.

However, as of now it's only announced for the 360 and PS3 - but they'd be stupid not to consider it.

 

[dark jedi]

damn the virtual console for the Wii is frigging excellent,thanks for the heads up Sean,we cant get enough Donkey Kong,and Wii Sports is damn cool too LOL,my 6 yr old and my wife and I cant get enough Bowling,and it was easy as hell to get the Wii and PS3 online,after they got online BOTH were way behind already in the firmware updates,now just waiting for Christmas to get Super Castlevania IV for the Wii,this should be very sweet,love the game music in this one,if I had to pick which Castlevanias was my ALL TIME best it would be this one hands down.
thanks again

 

[casualimp]

Thanks DJ, now I want a Wii even more. Can't find one.

Yeah man, let me know if you ever find one! I got my 360 last January just by being in right place at the right time in the right Zellers. They had 2.

 

[casualimp]

You can get 360's by the shit loads now. Hell, they're selling the pro bundle for $400 CND for boxing week. But do I want downscaled HD graphics on my 15 year old TV, or innovative play that'll look just fine? In know my answer.

 

[dork313]

A friend of mine works for wal-mart in nashville and he said they got in 6 and they were gone within the hour. One to him of course.

 

[SEANWOOKIE?]

Anyone get a Wii? If so whats your friend code?

 

[dark jedi]

just got Super Castlevania IV for the Wii on Christmas morning,damn that game is cool,brings back alot of memories,definitely one of my favs,now i need to go out and get another Wii points card LOL.

 

[casualimp]

Well, my Christmas/Boxing day sale gift was an Xbox 360 (I can always get a Wii next year). Now I've got a shit load of accessories to buy and can't get games.
