My biggest surprise was how good the Wii was and the effect it has on people. I love my 360 but since getting my Wii and despite owning Gears of War it hasn' t had a look in while I play Zelda in-between family members and friends clamouring to play Wii Sports and create a Mii. Even my mum and dad like the Wii and are good at Tennis, Bowling and Golf. It really had re set the landscape to a level playing field as far as gaming skill is involved.

It is pretty bad if you let the remote slip from your hand but those straps are straight up stupid. I think they give some people(stupid ones) false assurance. It is thick all the way until the part where it connects to the end, at which point it is only a few threads. That is just stupid design, at least they are fixing it.

Mine, is how NOT 1 Person who has passed through my House and not even looke/noticed my 360.

All down to that little console: The Wii. Even after hours and hours of Playing Wii games, they dont even notice the 360 next to it and after a rest want to jump back on the Wii again.


TBH this is not much of a suprize as ALOT of gamers were starting to get real bored of the same old Shit 360 seems to chern out.. I think in alot of people' s cases they was waiting for the current Gaming masters (SEGA are not here anymore) to show the light.


The Biggest supprize was how greatly made a Warioware GBA Game, Rythem Tengoku! is and how many hours me a freinds put into this amazing game..

Biggest surprises:

-E3 dying
-Microsoft actually pulling through and selling 10 million.
-Sony for actually thinking they won an award for their new ©craptacular controller.

Least Biggest surprises:

-Sony released a flop...and then shot themselves multiple times.
-Nintendo released a near perfect game at launch.
-360 proved it is out to cover all mediums of entertainment...now where are my downloadable books!

Why would you be shocked over that?

Apart from GC, Nitnendo have always released a near perfect games at luanch. Super Mario World (Snes), Mario 64 (N64).

the GC is why he said it, if a company makes a crappy system that dimeans all of our beloved nintendo charachters recently, then your more than likely to expect that about the next console


And alecrein, your books will be here in time

The main surprise would definately would be sony dropping the ball with the ps3
though its too early to tell if this negative trend will continue i expected that the ps3 would do alot better. The rumours of ps3s sitting on shelf is quite amazing considering the brand stamped on the machine.

A close second would be the surprise i got when my parents got hooked on playing the Wii!! My parents NEVER EVER EVER played a video game IN THERE LIFE and it wasn' t my intention to introduce the Wii to them (i don' t care if you don' t believe that). They think it is childish (video games in general), but when they saw me playing Wiisports they had a go and loved it. F**KING AMAZING. They even invited there friends over to try it out, They loved it too, and came over several times to play it.

My dad said he was glad the new house he is building has a large family room so he can stretch out when playing Wii tennis - he got so into the game he hit the dinning table several times while playing (my current home isn' t so big). Playing & enjoying a video game with my parents - PRICELESS. Thanks Nintendo.

Got to be Viva Pinata

After the dreadfull PDZ and the good but short Kameo i was starting to think MS had made a mistake in buying Rare. But this is the most addictive game ive played since the Shenmue series.

Cant see myself ever getting bored with it and cant wait for the 2 expansion packs.
