Today I bought Wii with Wii Sports and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. The controller is pretty impressive; with the separate joystick you’re not confined to the traditional “two hands in the middle” grip which gets painful after a while. I originally imagined holding the Wiimote with two hands horizontally, as in your left thumb on the directional pad, your right thumb on the 1 and 2 buttons but this is not how it was designed :-)
Wii Sports is slightly addictive due to the combination of unique gameplay and wanting to beat personal bests. Wii Boxing is especially fun.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is pretty fun, if you like basic hack & slash. It was the most appealing game in the shop. There’s a whole stack of Marvel characters you can add to your 4-player team, so that keeps it fresh. I’ve only done 2 missions so far, and they’ve been pretty easy.
Next game to get will probably be Zelda Twilight Princess. I’m in the mood for an adventure I can really get into. And it has a huge Metacritic score. Super Paper Mario looks fun, too.
A wii!! awesome!!!!!!!!!
I’ve got Twilight Princess for GC (thank you ebay) and really enjoyed it. Probably the best Zelda I’ve played, very similar to Ocarina, just bigger and better. So, basically, I give it a big recommendation.
Oh, and well done with the blogging, very consistent and entertaining. I’ll have to try and do some more on mine when I get over this assessment bump, although other activities may get in the way as usual… Out of interest what electorate are you in, some candidates have blogs if you want to check them out.
OK that settles it, I’ll do a price trawl for that game tomorrow.
My federal electorate is Farrer (had to look it up LOL).
Hah, thats kind of pathetic (but only cos I spend far too much time monitoring political stuff instead of writing my three essays due in the next 48 hours)
Unfortunately no young dems candidate there and blogging sorry.
I stand corrected about holding the controller sideways. I just saw a video of a guy playing Super Paper Mario holding it like that, and you can buy grips too that make it easier to hold.
I just bought ZTP and SPM on eBay, w00t!
Is this the end of your consistent blogging?
I guess wii will just have to wait and see
Get Wii Play (with an extra controler). So much fun. Duck hunt, cow racing, pool, table tennis, find the Mii and weird orientation games. Well worth it!
