Despite a bigger 2008 line up for Xbox 360, I am somewhat disappointed by many of the big franchise releases. (Fable 2, GOW2, GTA4, Banjo Kazooie K & B). Im not ashamed to admit that this generation I have become a casual gaming enthusiast. My favourite games this year were Wii Fit, MKWii and Wii Music. I rate Brain Training and Nintendogs as two of my favourite games. My most memorable gaming experience this generation was playing Wii Sports for the first time. Nevertheless, despite the connotations implied by the 'casual' label, I play games just as often now as any previous generation if not more. In previous generations I would have described myself as a hardcore gamer, however I have become quite apathetic to hardcore games, which feel like too much of the same and lack innovation. I'm sick of all the mindless FPS's, and the uneccesarily complicated controls of many games which in some cases require hours of dedication to learn. It's like learning to drive a car for the first time with each new game. And frankly, I'm bothered by the naive assumption implied by the OP that the Wii is typically a secondary option, perpetuating the negative view of the Wii as an inferior system that is somehow not deserving of its commercial success. |
Same here.
