after 2 pages all i got was shaking cam, did he even talk about anything else

Sorry, I already supported Sega with HoTD:Overkill. Mainly because they actually are supporting the Wii this year. Unless that Dead Space game turns out to be MUST (and I mean must) own I'm not supporting any more rail shooters this year.

Don't get me wrong. Umbrella Chronicles was decent but I just don't want developers to think that they can keep making these half-assed efforts when instead of Dead Space: Extraction we should have gotten a Cell Shaded Dead Space Spin-Off. And instead of Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles we should have gotten a spin-off using the RE4 engine.

silentmac, you have the wrong mentality.. You shouldn't have to 'support' anybody. If they don't make games that you really really want then they don't deserve your money.

I've changed my mentality to one of: If I don't really want a game, I will not buy said game. The last game that I bought because I thought looked cool and wanted to support the developer was MadWorld and I still haven't finished that game..

Well... I will admit that I had money burning a hole in my pocket around the time HoTD came out (I think it was actually on my Birthday) and don't get me wrong it is a good game. Also, it isn't like House of the Dead is a franchise that was just made a rail shooter because the publisher is making excuses about how they can't make a decent Wii title. It is just obvious now that we have The Conduit that Capcom, Activision, EA, Ubisoft, and Konami are full of crap. If they put a decent budget and one of their tier 1 teams behind something original on Wii then they could blow what HVS has done out of the water.

The Wii still doesn't have any Triple AAA Racers (besides Mario Kart), TPS, FPS, RTS etc. and it is just stupid since it has a large install base. I know Wii users are more skewed toward the expanded casual market but I am willing to bet that more than 2% of Wii owners own PS360s and buy hardcore titles on those systems.

In any case, I really don't mind buying a game retail and taking a risk on something a couple of times a year if it looks like the developer is at least trying something different as I can throw them on Ebay if I don't like them and make most of my money back. So far, on Wii I've only done that on MoH:H2 and Umbrella Chronicles though.

Also, I take risks on quite a bit of Atlus published titles because more often than not they are great games...

Oh and I agree.  I was pretty disappointed with MadWorld as well.  I thought it would be similar to the awesomeness that is No More Heroes only in black and whilte but it never really grabbed me.  Maybe it was the fact that NMH has amazing bosses or I like the humor better, I dunno...
