i'm pretty sure that i've seen you express your disapproval when people have been said to label the nintendo fanbase

but here you are proving that you aren't any better... bravo

Give me a good Assassins Creed game and I'll buy.

LAN parties are awesome and magic the gathering is the best card game. EVER.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does uncharted, killzone, halo, gears, assassins creed, call of duty, battlefield, and similar games in your opinion have a "soul"?

the attitude described in the op sounds more like that of a close minded person than an enlightened one imo

Due to the distinct efforts of the gaming media and third parties to alienate us, we Nintendo Gamers have, i think, become a community somewhat separated from the gaming community at large

"enlightened" is not the term i would use. "Mutual alienation" is better. The clear bias of the gaming media against what we enjoy and their efforts to focus on everything except that which we enjoy makes it such that Nintendo Gamers can effectively get nothing out of mainstream gaming sites anymore, and must find their own communities

This is what makes the Nintendo-PC gamer alliance particularly strong, since those who have really stuck by PC gaming (and not migrated to HD-faux-PC gaming) also experience this alienation

I have no idea what my post has to do with the fan base. I was specifically talking about Call of Duty people. I just can't help it. Maybe it was my upbringing, but I can't help it that I find it difficult to tell you Call of Duty people apart! You all just look like this to me:

Assassin's Creed games are alright though, at least from 2 down were fantastic.

Very well thought out and said Mr Khan!

From those mentioned I played all except killzone (already have it at home, not yet played) For me Uncharted has a "soul", so has AC, the others I liked, but something was missing (for me)

CoD is one of the most " soulless" games , but the MP it is a blast (especially CoD4 MW)

For me there are only a handful of games with "soul" besides Nintendo games. (Heavy Rain comes to my mind)

no, just no. Most NINty fans, have bought another console to fill the void of not having those 3rd party games that have graced the other platforms, or a PC. A good chunk of people on this very site and i wager the world have done just that. "Ninty owners dont care??!" BS, funny how people say, "I dont care about COD" but some of these same people complain about the Wii version getting the shaft all the time, ANd its not just COD, there are PLENTY of third party games that have poor representation or is just not on WIi and lets not pretend that the fans havent complained about them. "wahhh, why dont we get Soul Calibur, Split/Second, RE, SF, GTA, Dead Space, and so on games??" They do care, or else they wouldnt complain. Its just that by this time, most of them wised up and got another platform so they wouldnt miss anything.
