winneganfakeSo, we got a Wii for giftmas over here, and so far, I've been hitting very few titles at best. Here's what's been getting playtime so far:
Wii Play- the family favorite- easy to pick up and use, and a good way to learn the controls. all in all it's good for some group fun. And Brenna's addicted to Cow Racing.

inaurolillium also picked me up a copy of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories which is downright awesome- love the game, and for those who understand this statement- it's definitely a Silent Hill game, just not a Silent Hill game. The psychological angle is well played, and everything else just works wonderfully to make it a nice vivid nightmare run through the town. Which is great when I'm craving that kind of thing, but it is nice to be able to actually take a swing back at the bad guys occasionally.
Which led to the next purcahse, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed- yes, people have nitpicked over this title, and I can see why in some respects, the camera angles suck at times, and it's horribly slow to adapt around you when you take a sharp turn. That said, it is so satisfying to be able to just thrust one hand forward and have a pack of opponents fly back from you in a force push.
And then, Brenna and I started looking at the demos on the Wii shopping channel... dangerous thing, that. She's now loving playing Pokemon: Rumble's demo (god, she's only five! they take them so young now!!!!!) and I discovered this delightful little platformer called NyxQuest- if you've got the spare Wii points to pick it up, do it- fun gameplay, and a good soundtrack at the same time. Of course, finding that gem leaves me wondering just what other bits of Wiiware might be good for a download, and wishing that more titles had actual demos available- so, aside from the virtual console titles (still need to get a gamecube control pad for those) anyone download or play anything good off the shopping network?

Date: 2010-01-21 06:54 pm (UTC)Crap. I've been thinking about getting one for the Wii Fit benefits and family game play.
But this?
This is the final straw.
Alex is gonna have to put his Xbox to the side. Cow Racing is taking over.
