I just wish that there were more unique or original games, it seems like everything is either a sequel, prequel, remake, or sports game. I think the biggest issue is multiplayer, more people will buy a game, not for the story, but for the multiplayer aspect. I use to be a big CS gamer, but eventually gave it up when it just seemed like I was never getting better no matter how many hours I logged on. I'm in no way saying that all sequels are bad, some of my favourite games as of late have been sequels (GTA 4, Fallout 3, Call of Duty 4, etc.) but I just want something new to play and I don't feel that the xbox 360 or PS3 are the best consoles for that desire.

they should have more original games but you gotta admit the sports games that they do have for it are pretty sick

if you like sports then yes, but I really don't care at all about sports so I don't even notice them.

if your playing with friends than its fun. if your playing by yourself it sucks

I do have a wii but, it's more so my family's console. I do have Twilight Princess for it though. Why don't game developers make more games like that huh? I loved everything about that game.

madworld looks sick, if i still had my wii i would definitely pick that up

New Conduit gameplay videos are epic!

News: GDC 2009 Media: Two New Videos of The Conduit Surface - Kombo.com

I'm so stoked for this game.

Had a blast on the weekend playing Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party - it's pretty creative how they've integrated the Wii Fit balance board into playing with your rear... Of course, I think part of the hilarity was watching people dance while watching them watching the 100" projection on my friend's wall...

I have the original rayman raving rabbids but I found it got boring quickly especially once you've played the mini games a few times. Though I cannot wait for the Conduit, and I aim to pick up House of the Dead: Overkill and Madworld once I get a bit of cash.

2009 seems to be the year that third-party developers focus on the "core gaming".
