I'm 24 and I own a Wii...

Not really sure where the idea of fun "casual" games became such a evil word.

It makes some "hardcore" gamers feel uneasy knowing it's no longer their world anymore, now anyone's a gamer. Also, have you got Boom Blox? It's amazingly fun.

Not yet,Though after reading up on the game seems like it's now on my games to buy plus it seems to have the same fun zanny world feel with the little guys that Katamari has.

Ya its funny thinking of how on a lot of internet forums it's "Hardcore" vs "Casual". I Just find it hard to think of anyone as "hardcore" as gaming is so accepted now its like thinking of "hardcore" TV watchers.True it may not be SuperX3000 they play but bejeweled or bowling but I still think it counts just as more watched CSI then Deadwood. Just hope gaming counter culture dosn't become a elitist environment where if you like X,Y and Z your not a "True gamer"

Explainthe "XYZ" as I've not seen antyhing withh "XYZ", or just an example? But Boom Blox is amazing, especially the Jenga, which as a heads up you can move multiple pieces but once you pull one out and let it hit the floor your turn's over. I was ruining the match pulling pieces at random and swinging the Jenga piece knocking it slightly out of place.

Was just a example of what games I see a lot of "hardcore" gamers saying are not games like Bejeweled etc..

Is it online then as well and does it allow you to play mutliplayer on the same console if it is? Jenga used to be a favorite game of mine so to have a fun digital version of it to play with friends plus no clean up or set up sounds like a must buy then.

 

[LivemeLifefree]

It's local Multi-player only. I wish it was online. They've two versions regular Jenga and color coded one. I've never seen someone say Bejeweled isn't a game, but then again I usually stray away from the gaming crowd 'till recently.

Toriyama made fun of his own work already. If you can't make fun of yourself, who can you make fun of?

Sorry dude, but I prefer the whole deep, spiritual, time-taking, chi-raising style of DBZ compared to the majority of anime crap that comes out consisting of either guns, tits or some dude jumping inside one giant robot to go and fight with another dude....who's also inside a giant robot.

EDIT: I am pretty gutted that they're gunna ruin it (further in your eyes) by doing a live action film. *sigh* can't they just leave things alone. Spielberg's even doing a remake of Ghost In The Shell, for whatever reason. Not that I'm a HUGE fan of it, but I know it's gunna

piss off a LOT of people.

hold on hold on, a live action DBZ movie?
dear god thats going to be god-awful. im not a huge fan of DBZ but i can watch it and be entertained. but a live action movie? thats a step too far

 

[LivemeLifefree]

I herd about the DBZ live action when 2000 was rolling around.

Duchovny is not an actor I enjoy a lot, and he wouldn't match XII's hardened looks...
Kilmer is an equally bad choice, but to be fair, I don't know who would have looked good...
Maybe Ewan MacGregor or Liam Neeson (who was awesome in Taken), if only their roles in SW did not humiliate them that much...

I don't mind DD to be honest, big X-Files fan.

The character in the game always looked a bit like George Clooney to me. But I wouldn't want him to be in a film that I may watch.

EM and LN are good but yes you're right. Star Wars ruins all, hehe.

I'm tired of seeing Clooney everywhere, even if he's a very good actor, really skilled.
But the cel-shading did not do much justice to the drawings of Vance...

Well I've never had a problem with my 360, and I prefer being able to use analog sticks and buttons to aim, move and perform actions. Rather than having to swing and lunge with a little plastic box to do anything in a game.

You can actually aim with horribly slow dual analog sticks?

Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?

Sign me up too!

I'd like to see a COD4 deathmatch of similar skill level Xbox players Vs. PC players (each on their respective machines).
I guarantee the PC players would win, in fact i'd stake my fortnightly paychek on it!

You can't compare Dual analog aiming to mouse aiming, there's no contest!

XBOX360 - Joy, have a shed load of the same games, redesigned from the same FPS' (not gunna name it) engine.

It's funny that you mention that, considering almost all the Wii's games are godawful save the ones that they've been regurgitating incessantly for up to twenty years.

There have actually been a bunch of quality titles that have fallen by the wayside because of predisposed attitudes like this. Additionally, several third party titles have been shown recently for release in the next 6-12 months that look as if they show real promise.

Not to mention the fact that I'd hardly call Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime "regurgitations".

Seconded. Also, Mario Galaxy is PROOF that Ninty isnt all about the casual games.
Don't believe me?
Well, Play it up till you get to the level "Luigi's Purple Coins". Then tell me how a 5-year-old could do that without losing thier mind. Seriously, that's the closest an official Nintendo game has gotten to Kaizo Mario.

I still wish we had Rare.
