Point in case...

Enough Prof, this has nothing to do with the thread, you've done a fairly good changing tracks thus far. Enjoy your Windows Defender, you might want to get an anti-virus before you get a trojan on your computer though. I recommend E-Eye Blink Antivirus. Just a suggestion from a guy who's been a tecchie from Windows 95 onward. Read up on what Windows Defender actually does for your computer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Defender

Back on topic -

@op - I think that 09 is going to be the advent of some really good license-able engines for Wii developers, upping the ante for the Wii's future library. Some might say "too little too late" as games produced in 09 wont be out till at least 2011, but we've seen the high quality PS2 God of War games come out towards the back end of the PS2's main reign. Of course, who's to guess when the Wii will fade from the spotlight. It's hard to see that future anytime soon. Yet, the 09 games that will come out are the ones that will showcase these new engines.

No only HD fanboys use the term next gen when it's current gen, Wii fans/fanboys at least have the sense enough to know that next gen isn't out yet.

This is what you don't understand. PC has the hacking community, PC has system requirements.
Consoles, have almost no cheaters, have a more difficult aiming ability (and therefore a steeper learning curve, allowing for good gamers to reach high scores fairly quickly),
have no system requirements.

BTW maxwell, where in the OP did it mention that quote?

 

 Oh wow, that is truely a novel concept to me. To praise an inferior aiming system because it actually steepens the learning curve. You have just become my new poster child for a previous posting about the social divide among gamers.

I hope I can quote you, because it alone would make me want to take the OP and rewrite it as an article for a gaming journal. That statement practically defines hte "warrior" demographic.

 

I'm in the boat that prefers dual analog to keyboard but for different reasons. I, first of all, just hate keyboard and mouse controls. I try to stay away for PC shooters. And about the speed, I don't think it's very realistic for a soldier with combat armor and gun to pirouette 180 degrees like a ballerina on command. Nothing to do with learning curve.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It's not really about the turning speed (as CoD does take this into account bigger weapons = slower to move around with and to turn with) but also how easy it is to get pixel perfect controls, meaning it's rather clunky and can be off a bit on controller while PC and Wii controls it's more about reaction time, you see it you point, you shoot, more realistic then aiming the recticle with a joystick being off by a little bit and readjusting to make sure you shoot them in the head, etc.
