As much as people like to talk about the Pro-Wii bias on this site, it was apparent that the pro-blow 'em up/shoot 'em up, anti-Wii bias in this list.
Only three Wii games. Did not indicate Spore was for Wii.
Did not include Dragon Quest (which it was trumping adding screen shots for).
Also, we should keep the list and see how many games actually see the light of day this year.

So because it didn't have the games you wanted, it's biased? It's not GS' fault that so many of the biggest games are shooters or that the Wii isn't getting the majority of these big titles. If anything complain about game companies, not the list. They also did not indicate that Spore was on the DS , maybe it's because these are different versions and their anticipated game is the PC one? |
No, the list is biased, towards shooter fans. That's pretty much all that's represented here other than the obligatory popular titles. Seriously, where are the RPGs? Haven't we had several threads of discussion on this board about the host of Wii, PS3, and 360 RPGs coming out? Out of them all the only ones they felt worth mentioning were what, Final Fantasy XIII and Fable 2? Where's Crystal Chronicles? Infinite Undiscovery? Tales of Symphonia? Dragon Quest? Hell, I don't even think I saw The Last Remnant (though it's really not that big of a deal). So yes, it's incredibly biased towards shooter fans. No, shooters aren't the only big games coming out. And then there's just bizarre choices. Ratchet & Clank gets another handheld spinoff announced maybe a month ago and it's already charted higher than Smash Bros, which has been hotly anticipated since before the Wii even launched? Why hell is Resident Evil 5 at the very bottom, a good 20-30 spaces under more shooters I've never heard of? |
Yeah, White Knight Story could be on there, too, but there were 48 spots and so those are the games they chose. Maybe give some of the games you haven't heard of a chance. |
White Knight Story, Lost Odyssey, any one of the major Wii RPGs (ToS:KoR, FFCC, Fragile, etc.). There are plenty of other genres they could have added. They could stand to sacrifice 1 or 2 of the 25 frickin shooters on the list. There just isn't enough diversity on it. Hopefully other websites do a better job of satisfying fans of all genres than this list does.
