I don't buy for a specific game... I buy when the price reaches my demand.

Wii I got for christmass 1 year later cause... I felt like buy a new console.

360 I got when I had a cheap deal.

PS3... well still waiting.

Twilight Princess, the Wii version, right from the start in november 2006...

I could have played it on GC, but i think it has been my most "hyped" game... ever... without it, i'd have waited one more year to buy myself a Wii...

Btw, it hasn't been a deception, as the game is just as good as nearly all the Zelda's, "usual business", i could say...

But the sword fighting was the perfect example to understand the wiimote's limitations, right from the start... now, WM+ has fixed it, but there's still no big adventure game to take real advantage of it...

Red Steel 2 should (very easily) be way better than the rushed original, but the next Zelda with WM+ will for sure be the "ultimate Wii experience" i was hoping for back in 2006...

At the time of the Zelda release it would have been much cheaper for me to buy a GC and the game rather than the Wii console and game, but I forked 400 dollars (overpriced sellers because supply was so low) and bought the Wii and game, it was definitely a great game and the Wii controls did add some freshness to it. I liked the game, but it seemed like too much of a throwback to Ocarina of Time, I was looking for more of a departure from it.

 

Yes, very true, the same old "dungeon formula" needs a little bit of change... and the gameplay itself could see a major change if they try a new angle: a 1st person Zelda, similar to Metroid Prime 3, but with a WM+ for the bow, the sword and all the other weapons...

About the art style: they actually tried something very different, it's called Wind Waker... i still love it, i think it looks really superb, and some of the dungeons were the most beautiful in the whole serie... but Nintendo has received so many critics... unjustified, but anyway, i think it's the reason why they choose the "safe route" for the TP style... hard to please everyone...

Now, if they could mix the best of both worlds: a cel shaded "mature" Link, in a very beautiful cel shaded Hyrule, dark and colourful at the same time... all that with a first person view, a great story, the usual brilliantly designed puzzles, two or three difficulty levels for the fighting... and it would be... perfection...  :)



 

"A beautiful drawing in 480i will stay beautiful forever...

and an ugly drawing in 1080p will stay ugly forever..."

Yeah I know about Windwaker and I think the return to Ocarina style was a direct response to the criticism which in my opinion is a shame because I like the artistic look over the more realistic.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Call of duty 4 modern warfare.



Playing Call of Duty 2 made me actually think about the Xbox, and the incessant GeoW adverts certainly didn't hurt

What really got me excited about the PS3 was playing Motorstorm on it before launch on a massive Sony TV, it just looked incredible

What dragged me into this generation was the prospect of having both Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime 3 almost by the release of the Wii x) Plus Rayman Raving Rabbids dragged me into the Wii, me and my GF went crazy over that game, shame that each subsequent variation was just more of the same.

Into the PS3 I have to say it was R&C, i've been a fan of the series since the PS2 games, so when I saw the trailer for the game I had to get a PS3.

For the 360, it was the massive amount of RPG's that the console had, especially Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect, which were amongst the best RPG experiences i've had in the past years.

for me it was no game...it was December 2007 and it was a good offer...Ps3 + 2 Controller + Motorstorm & Resistance for 399€ (this was the normal price for the PS3 at that time).
