Got into this gen for Oblivion. Originally, I was gonna wait for the PS3 to come out and see what it was gonna offer, but I saw Oblivion just came out, and a 360 (back when it was still in it's shortage phase) and I said fuck it.



played Call of Duty 3 for Wii at a friends house when it first came out. I was blown away by the first person shooter possibilities for Wii. However, I am a little disappointed with the first person shooter lineup so far. It's starting to get better now though, and will be even better when The Conduit come out.



I started making videos for youtube; check them out.

You should congratulate me. I destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. I consider myself a hero.

I forgot to add wii (which I bought first for Zelda), but I don't consider it next gen. Nothing on the console so far couldn't have been done on the previous one.

But

But it comes with Wii Sports

That one hundred percent was impossible on the last gen of consoles

 

I am positive that it could have been done on a previous gen console as well. The only thing innovative is the control and a custom controller could have accomplished that. I was talking in terms of performance.

That hardly changes the fact that you can't play Wii Sports on any previous console, or anything even remotely like it.



Wii.

Halo 3 and Gears of War



actually the wii hype.

it died after brawl.

then i saw FF13 and verus in full HD and assasin creed got me drooling.



The first game I bought was Tomb Raider Legend for 360. Lara had been through some tough times in the previous gen and I was happy to hear they were taking her in a new direction that hopefully would bring her back to a respected place in the industry. I think Underworld, even though I've only played the demo, was probably better than the critics said, and I hope we'll get more great Lara games soon. I would like to see Eidos and Crystal Dynamics work on some of their other old series too though. I'd be willing to give a new Gex a try and be excited to play either more Blood Omen or Fear Effect games.



Heavens to Murgatoids.

zelda tp and mario galaxy
