We need a more personal touch here at the Wii Rec Guide, so if you post about why you love a game, then I'll post that little blurb right by the actual game



Smeags, I love you. This thread is full of awesome, I think it's perfect!

*Teh Blush* Aw man, that made my week. Thanks a lot, I've put a lot of work into this and I really appreciate the kind words.

With this, the 2010 guide, and the 2009 million sellers guide, I'm finding myself busier than ever on this site. But it's totally worth it.

My girlfriend loves gaming as much as I do, and this list is amazingly handy to show her what's out there, so we can pick our next game together.



Around the Network

I would add Geometry Wars: Galaxies to the list since it is a phenomenal old school shooter game that I still play very often. I would also add Scarface instead of the Godfather since that game is like vice city but better story, side mission integration, and amazing wiimote controls.

Swords and Soldiers better be in there too but I didn't see it. One of the best wiiware games that deserves a full disc based game. Still one of the only RTS type games for Wii and the controls/style is phenomenal and very fun, long game.

Muramasa is my Wii game of the year for 2009, simply amazing game!
Dead Space is a very fun and challenging light gun shooter, one of my favs in the genre now.
Also add Sin and Punishment for N64 since it rocks!

How could I have forgotten Geometry Wars? Man, I remember when that first came out for Wii, during the Geometry Wars craze when it first came out to XBLA back in the day. Thanks for catching that.

As for Scarface, I've been hearing good things about the game (I remember Mark Bozon raving on it back in the day). I'll make sure it'll be on by next week.

And yes, Swords and Soldiers in indeed there, right in the WiiWare section under Strategy/Strategy RPG.

In fact, I want to use this time to just let you know that a lot of games have quotes by you. Your wall posts are very informative.



Great job on the thread Smeags!
Thanks for the compliments too, if they were directed at me ;)
I still have plans to post my reviews which are very 'wordy' since I am not a fan of the simple number reviews. I'll look over this list and give any other suggestions when I get done work, I also want to look at your 2010 list since there are tons of goodies coming!!!
