Yea I can relate. My gf loves the game but I get bored pretty quickly with it. Plus she gets upset when she can't get past one thing and I do it for her on the first try and go back to watching the hockey game

Tiger Woods 2007 for the Wii is the bomb, and its hard like real golf...
Brunswick bowling looks to be bad ass, will buy that too
They just re-released RE4, but compatible for the Wii. I am going to buy that like next week, best GC game ever, now with wii mote action!
Paper mario is okay, didn't get a chance to play a lot of it.

well if ur going to base ur opinion on games like that, then you should look at some of the stupid games for every console that has ever existed....granted nintendo has a few more of them, but thats because for a long time nintendo was for the younger kids...but now is for everyone...play the boxing game, if you enjoy any sports at all, u'll love it just for the pure realism of the movements and not to mention the excercise.
I have. And yes, I did enjoy it. But i'm not going to judge a console based upon individual games. Be them particularly bad (Warioware) or particularly good (Boxing, Zelda). I want a console which has brilliant games acroos the board, not just one or two. Maybe developers will get their act together and release some more good games but until then I don't think that the Wii is worth the money (even if it is the cheapest next-gen console).

funny because i've played almost all of the games out for wii right now, and none (barring warioware, thank you, wife) are not fun to play...and even then warioware isnt "bad" per say, just not my type of game....when PS3 and 360 start coming out with games that arent just the same old crap then i'll get them...but come on, call of duty and madden are the same crap they've been, halo has NEVER been original, and great so they have F.E.A.R, last time i checked F.E.A.R. was already out and looks better on a good comp....
now if u want to look at stupid games, check out the up and coming "Super Rub a Dub" http://ps3.ign.com/articles/781/781888p1.html
....until they give me something other than better graphics im not sold, my comp has better graphics than my wii, that doesnt mean its more fun, quite the contrary. And you can argue that PS3 has the motion sensor capabilities like the wii does, but until they actually use it it's a moot point

Oh, and your going to be waiting for a long time, because like i said, they ALL have stupid games, It's your own fault (or possibly, that of a spouse or GF) that you played warioware, dont blame any console when the console has so many awesome games, PS3 has a lot of cool games, but do many of them bring anything NEW to the table? the answer to that question is, hands down, NO....almost EVERY Wii game brings something new, at least in game play, if not in other aspects as well

just to defend this POV before someone tries to rip me to shreds....what does halo really have?
dual wielding=Goldeneye, Perfect Dark
Programable A.I.=Perfect Dark, Red Faction 2
Latent A.I.=Even on Legend its not that hard. Done far better in F.E.A.R.
online play=Quake, UT
Vehicles=A few of the 007 games
Large maps= Quake, UT2004
Lots of cool weapons=Ummmm, every good FPS ever made, all the way back to Duke Nukem
the only thing that was really original about it was the individual weapons themselves....and even then, the needler is about the only one that doesnt resemble weapons on a lot of other games
And everyone keep in mind that it took them 2 games, 2 friggin games to get this right....they already had examples for everything, they just didnt think through what they were trying to do....Halo 2 should have been a FREE Downloadable update, not a whole new game.
I love FPS, but halo isnt extraordinary for a single OR mulitplayer....single player choice: , Metroid's (Gamecube)F.E.A.R. (jumped a few times, especially when those stealth ninja's come out), multiplayer choice: so many to choose from, Red Faction 1 or 2, UT 2004, Goldeneye (N64), Goldeneye (Xbox), any of the Quakes

HA, I am glad you have such a strong opinion of how bad Halo is. I think we can find about 3 people on the face of the planet that agree with you.
Halo 2, in the last 24 hours logged 591,376 matches. How crappy is that multiplayer, GOSH.
O let me just get some quotes from Gamespot.com (they are a pretty popular game review website):
I think they are talkin about Halo: Combat evoloved ( or Bungies first change to "get it right")
DAMN, 1.5 Million and Halo: Combat Evolved musta really sucked.
Must I really get some more quotes, and some more reviews to prove why your an idiot?

well those 3 ppl would be correct, im pretty sure you could look at ANY game that had good sales and correlate that to either 1:good game, or 2: awesome PR.....now its not to say that halo cant be fun, but it didnt come with ANYTHING NEW, which was the point of wat i said....and any game u can beat in under 4 hours is a waste of money (everything up to legendary, which takes 7ish), rent it dont buy it, multiplayer is great because thats what they chose to pump more money in, and advertise, that doesnt make it better....we all know that commercials will cause everyone to buy crap because the general american consumer, that buys vid games, is not the smartest, nor the most game savvy and of course watches something like 3 1/2 hours of tv a day....so if u saturate television with halo commercials, ppl will buy.....y do u think games like warioware and mario party keep being produced?

and i also dont remember saying that the game sucked...your words not mine....im pretty sure i said i was never original....and then thoroughly proved my point by providing examples, thats what you do when you prove facts, site actual examples.
thank you, *takes a bow

get my point?
If you are starting to generalize stuff that much.. you could jsut as good say that no fps after Wolf 3d is original anymore, and from a certainl point of view that would be true too.I mean, If an artist makes a painting, is it original? I mean, its just paint on a piece of cloth, so how could it be?
my point is, different people look different onto things. so dont get offended if they dont see it your way, vice versa ofcourse.
and yes.. I think Halo was quite different.. because i completely didnt care for fps games before that.. but I've played halo for over a year, and i gues for me that means something

well from that vantage point yes you would be correct....but since Wolf3d didnt have dual wield, or online play, or kick-a$$ multiplayer, then no it wouldnt be correct, i dont remember any games before goldeneye than incorporated dual wield with seperate weapons....but you do have a point, that is ONE thing original about HALO, it was pretty much the 1st game to incorporate all of those great features into one game...o wait, into 2 games, sorry...and once again, not saying it wasnt a fun game, but my original point if you read my previous posts was that many of the new PS3 and 360 games dont bring anything new other than better graphics, how many times do i really need to kill ze germans or save the world as masterchief, with the same controls and pretty much the same gameplay....i mite as well buy the older copy and have the same amount of fun.....originality is fun, plain and simple...thats why the wii has killed the other 2 in sales since it was released, its a new, more fun way to game and people intuitively know this.

Oh, and i left out destoyable environments...which still isnt in halo....i wish they would add it, its been around for so long, and its so fun to be able to destroy your enemy even when he's behind a concrete wall...cus let me tell you, in real life 8'' concrete doesnt stop bullets, even small caliber ones....so why shouldn't i be able to do some damage to someone with a rocket launcher just because he's behind a wall?
thank you for this fun and hilarious lesson red faction

You insulted Halo, which is the same as insulting me.
I guess i'm just the kind of person who picks up on the bad aspects of things even when there are a million good aspects staring me in the face. The only thing that is really stopping me from getting a next gen console is that i'm not just a skeptic but a cynic and a pescimist. Lol
Not a great combination. Did someone say F A N B O Y ?

I didn't see it anywhere, but I'll make you feel better. I am a fanboy. And for all of my comments, besides the one you are refering to, I give evidence to back up my opinion.
Fair enough. At least your not in denial like 99% of fanboys. I tell you what, i'll admit to some fanboyism also. I am a Half Life fanboy. For proof you will need to ask some guy at my school, whom I had never met before, and yet decided to explain the story of the ENTIRE Half Life universe including the G-Man, the combine invasion and the parallel storylines (Opposing Force, Blue Shift). He eventually responded with: "OMFG that game sounds so shit!". Suffice to say I was not amused. So there you have it. We are all fanboys for something or other.

I was literally about to say the exact same thing.
