I played it for 2 hours in SP, MP for like 3 hours. I don't think it's a really good game. It's just a hype in America. In Europe no one is really excited about the game.

My problem with Nintendo isn't that they make games without storylines. I actually enjoy enjoy some Nintendo games despite lack of story, LoZ being a foremost example of that, a series that I love. My problem is that they seem to be driving the industry in a direction where storylines in video games are seen as unnecessary, essentially becoming niche because you can make far more money with a casualized title focusing purely on wacky gameplay. Games with amazing storylines will become scarcer and scarcer because of this direction that the Wii is taking the market in to the point they may all but disappear.

Video games made purely for fun and entertainment focused on gameplay would always have been the majority but it seems that the Wii has made it profitable for developers to not even consider making epic, message and story driven games.

 boom blox is not short,also its multi player keeps you busy for a while,and you dont like the orange box?

Both are pretty good. I enjoyed lots of EA games this gen like Rock Band, Fifa, Burnout Paradise, and Battlefield. As for Ubisoft, they've been on a roll lately. GRAW, Rainbow Six Vegas, Assassin's Creed, Dark Sector; enjoyed them all. Looking forward to Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell Convinction.

@DTG Loz and Fire Emblem are two examples of games with heavy storylines. WHile they don't mesh movies and games like the mgs series, they have excellent and very thought provoking story lines. Majora's Mask for example is one of those games these games. If you need me to explain it I will. Twilight Princess also had some character developement with midna. Now these games aren't focused on storyline, but still have a great story. It seems to me if you wan't story driven games you should be a pc gamer. There are many games such as neverwinter nights, the wicker, baldur's gate, diablo, planescape, half life. etc that are very story driven. So the wii while making the gameplay focused market wider, isn't doing anything to the story driven market.

I said 'Almost everything'. Orange box is so far the only exception i'm going to make.

and miss out on the next Sim City??????????????????????????

no

I thought Battlefield: Bad Company was alright, but other than that... they do make some really bad games.

EA are cool, dont like most of the games, heck i dont even play most have there games but i have come across worse companies

MICROSOFT ANYONE excluding windows XP

EA puts out a ton of good games. Also, boycotts of game companies are retarded.
