You're married and have a kid? How did I not know this?

Saying developers shouldn't create games aimed at a market above the 'casual gamer' gives me the utter shits.

You raise some good points, but RE4 was a last generation game built originally for the gamecube; of course it's going to translate well to the wii.

The PS360 is the current bastion of "hardcore" console gaming, and takes priority of the Wii. So you end up getting shitty ports; or a game like Redsteel, which tries to cash in on the novelty of the Wii controller without taking the effort to provide compelling gameplay; or games like Madworld which goes "hey, we know our game isn't good enough to make it in the big leagues, so lets make it Wii exclusive because there's much less competition"

I guess what Yahtzee is saying is, publishers should stop making hardcore games for the Wii for all the wrong reasons, especially when they have no idea how to get it right.

Wow that API is pretty slick. With like 20 seconds of regex text editting I was able to grab the last 100 pages accessed. I could even grep for /search/ or whatever.

Having said that, at least I didn't have to sift a review for a Wii game. I mean c'mon. The Wii. So 2006.


Old will be new again once Wii MotionPlus comes out in June. Though it's probably best to wait until July and pick it up with Wii Sports Resort.

Well, I had high hopes for MadWorld, but Yahtzee's stamp of crap does make me skeptical. I'm not sure if it's because I really like the art direction or if it's because the Wii is the first and only console I've ever bought (I love my PC for gaming, the Wii is for family/my wife's friends) and I really wanted to get some good games on it that aren't neon colored and staring Mario. It's interesting that Yahtzee admits to hating both these things, so I may like this game after all.

I've heard that it's a game you have to play through once before it really starts to get good (Amazon reviews reflect this too). Yahtzee seems to have missed that fact.

Your video, Zero Punctuation - MadWorld, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

True. No controller can really outdo a mouse and keyboard. Also, I can upgrade my PC as I see fit.

Also, I love my wii and play with it often.
