Gabes24 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Depending how often you play Wii is for playing once a week half-heartedly... Xbox is those who play every 1-2 days for expect good graphics and gameplay... (I'm hoping this does not turn into a freaking PS3/Xbox war...)

davegill Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm a total non gamer but I am very intrigued by these games, based on the ads on TV. Should I get an XBOX or a Nintendo Wii? Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Canuck Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Get a Xbox 360 my friend, unless you are into kiddie type games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Eh? I play many of my Wii games often. Lay off the fanboyisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraftdinner Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I own a Wii and view it as more of an additional console than a primary one. If you want to play games I would recomend getting a 360 or even a PS3 over a Wii. Wii's are fun when in groups or when hanging out with your friends who really aren't into games. However, when you are by yourself I can guarantee you, you wont be playing it very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Canuck Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Are you serious? The Wii is a good system with good games for kids and CASUAL gamers, nothing more, which is why it sells so much. If it had come out 10 years ago, it may have been a good choice as a REAL gaming system, but to say that it compares to 360 or ps3 is pure idiocy. You call it fanboyism, I call it you not being able to afford anything better than a Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegill Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 The Wii is not just for casual gamers and kids. It has kiddie games like Carnival Games, but then it also has Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, House of the Dead, Manhunt 2, Red Steel, Dead Rising is out next year... Considering how it sells in larger quantities than any other game system, I would say it is comparable to 360/PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Canuck Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yes, the 360 and PS3 are HD ready consoles with good games. Yes they have better online services. That doesn't change the fact that the Wii is a good current-gen console. What about all the games in the 80-90 range? 'B' is still a good grade and games like Lost Winds, Super Paper Mario, Boom Blox and No More Heroes are solid games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahzdeen Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 There's also something to be said for point and shoot game... I thought Call of Duty 3 was amazing because i could actually point at the screen to shoot... I have both systems and I play a lot more of the 360 rite now but the Wii's still fun for certain genre's of games.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.K. Chesterton Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 One more question for Farcry 2. Is there a lot of stealth involved (like Splinter Cell)? Because I don't really like stealth games too much. I'm trying to decide between buying Farcry 2 and Falloute 3 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuyOnTheBuffalo Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Fallout 3 is a crazy game. The amount of choices you have is mind boggling. I consider myself a gamer and fallout has blown me away. It is almost overwhelming at times. Farcry 2 -rental at blockbuster beat it return it. Fallout 3 -buy this game its gonna last a long time. Just my 2 cents. And why are people talking about that door stop called the wii in a 360 thread. Man that machine sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
