Wii Music for Innovation Award... Who would have predicted that?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I don't think anyone doubted it was innovative, but rather that it was just a bad game.

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

No offense...but this list looks more like a 'who was the most popular award' list.

I'm not technically complaining because it certainly looks better than many other games list awards. But it still follows that trend. Many of the awards just kind of made up to get certain games in. Like Dragon Quest V and Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Again, not that I'm complaining, as I love to see Dragon Quest V on the list.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

na, it's not bad, it's friendly to the whole family rather than people who are good at pressing different color buttons is all.
