We were done with the music recording at around 7PM and so I came back to my friends place where we played some Nintendo Wii. I think I am over the Wii, its not as fun as I imagined it to be and its really exhausting to play. When I pick up a joystick to play a video game its because I want to relax and chill out in front of the TV. The Wii on the other hand demands physical effort which I really don’t want to give. I think I am going to get the Xbox 360 instead. Forza Motorsport 2 is coming out in May and thats all I really need, oh and an NHL game.

… oh and Halo 3 ****
halo = number one reason to get an xbox
Isn’t that the point though? You get a workout and play a video game at the same time…
Told you so!
Halo 3!!
Gears of War rocks !!
😉
i have the xbox360 ..
and im gona buy the PS3 when good games are out .. and when the price gets same as USA or slightly more … not DOUBLE
and im gona get the Wii .. when the price reaches normal
why would i bother my self in choosing … BUY ALL !!!
BLEH…nonesense…wii is THE greatest console of all time…and i dont think u gave it a chance…its a complete different concept and a comeplete different way of dealing with games…there is no choice between a wii and a xbox 360 or a ps3…the choice is between the 360 and the ps3. wii is something to have along with one of these other 2 consoles if u want :)…however i’ve had the wii for about a month now and im having the time of my life…zelda is the greatest ever
how much are they now?!
Finally some one who understands me! Forza is the way to goo!! i have it on Xbox and i’m still playing it even though i have a ps3! and now that u mention Forza’s release i have another reason to buy the Xbox 360!! when forza comes out and we get some practice i demand a race 😛
good day
What games did you play on the Wii?
i played red steal, zelda, warioware, wii sports and call of duty 3 so far
TOLD U SO FAGGGGGG
the wii is cool for the first few weeks after that it gets boring real quick
im a casual gamer and after seeing the 360 for some reason fell in love it with it and i must say gears of war and crackdown alone are mroe than enough reasons to buy the device. cant wait for forza 2 i hear many good things about it.
mark hope u buy a 360 so we can kick ur ass online 😉
YEAH! WII IS LIKE FOR 12 YEAR OLDS OR ADULTS WHO LIKE KIDDIE PORN.
Actually, Wii does not require more effort than pressing buttons on a regular joystick.

Oh ya and dont forget the wireless racing wheel with forza 2.
I have a Wii. Its a pretty nice machine, definitely my favorite console (I also have a 360, and a DS Lite).
I can see why it turns off people though. I don’t really play to relax, I play to have fun, so its all good for me.
Also, the 360 has a nice advantage which is Live (if you have a 512kb connection in Kuwait its great) and it has a much bigger library than the wii
Hopefully that will change soon, a lot of new games are coming to the Wii, online and not online.
you lazy arss!! ur even too lazy for a computer game? what r u doing to ur self…? put a wiggle in it and hit the GYM!!!!!!!
hmm what about Motorstorm for the PS3?
You don’t need any physical effort to play on the Wii. You wont get tired if you don’t want too.
The 360 is the most over-rated system ever. Gears of War sucks, the graphics are the best part of the game, but if you dont have LIVE, then it gets boring real quick.
What else is there on the 360? Most of the games really are just bland.
The only reason to get a 360 is for Halo 3 and the new GTA.
The PS3 wont be good till MGS4 or an FF comes out for it.
Nintendo have gotten it right this time and I’m sure we’ll see it on top soon 😀
patrick,
sorry but ur comment really lacks knowledge in the video game industry which makes you look stupid.
PLEASE TELL ME HOW MUCH IS THE WII IN KUWAIT? AND TELL ME WHEN YOU CHECKED!
yeah pat is a dumbass. i personally like the xbox 360 more than the wii, but i don’t think the Wii is a crap. all consoles are cool, some are just more than others.
in the Wii’s case it’s just bc it’s a bit gimmicky like most of nintendo’s stuff.
Patrick, I hope you’re joking. The 360’s library kills anything out there right now, including the original Xbox library.
Viva Pinata
Mass Effect
Crackdown (its good, just not my kind of good)
Condemned
Oblivion
Gears Of War
Ghost Recon
Too Human
Bioshock
Forza 2
Project Gotham Racing
I like the Wii, as I said I already have one, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say the 360 was amazing.
You really can’t talk because you don’t own a 360. Sorry that comes off as kind of harsh, but from the experience of owning both systems, I can easily say that even WITH the lack of an internet connection, the 360 has better games than the Wii, and your brother has an internet connection so thats no problem.
Sorry dude, you’re just plain wrong on this one. 360’s library is amazing.
I forgot to add:
Prey
Saints Row (its really good)
Dead Rising
Lost Planet
Blue Dragon
Lost Oddessy
Enchantment Arms
Plus most games coming out on the PS3 end up coming to the 360 with the exception of a few.
I really don’t know where you get the notion that its bland. How does Gears of War suck when its won countless and countless of awards not just for its graphics, but for its incredible gameplay? Its pretty much the next Halo, and actually, its much better in gameplay. In fact, let me go out on a limb here and say that the 360’s library is probably one of the best exclusive libraries i’ve ever seen since the SNES era. Microsoft is doing amazing in bagging all these intellectual properties.
I can say with all honesty Mark, get the 360. You won’t be disapointed, I know I’m not. And in fact, I’ve played it more than my Wii—Oblivion has over 200 hours on it, since I bought it last March, as does other games I have. Make sure you connect it to the internet, you get a silver subscribtion with the 360 for free, so you can download demos and movies and what not, and remember to network it your PC so you can stream music and wmv videos off of it.
I love nintendo, I have a DS Lite, Gamecube and Wii, and I used to own the NES, Gameboy and GBA, but I know when wrong is wrong. The Wii’s library sucks ass. I don’t recomend it now. The only thing worth getting is pretty much Zelda and Wario Ware.
And Excite Truck! Whew, okay, enough posting.
So far, Wii Sports and WarioWare (and maybe Tiger Woods) are the only games that require you to play off the couch. And I’m sorry to say this, but to consider the Wii as a disappointment because of this sole reason is a bit absurd. Wii is not perfect…I admit that, but it does have a great potential; I mean it turned into a pop-cultural phenomenon in a less than a month and the demand is still high.
Give it another try…
Hi, i’m Wii, and i think you got it all wrong, every console has it’s own people, the Wii is for anime and japan fans, what we call Otaku, and the PS3 and Xbox360 are for the soccer and america fans, so instead of saying eww i hate the Wii it requires bla bla bla, you should say eww it’s not my type, and instead of saying eww i hate the Xbox yada yada ya, you should say eww it’s not my style. Don’t give me another try if you don’t like me, i’m just not your type, move along.
loool are you like the biggest nintendo fanboy or what?
The Wii is not for Otaku. I don’t even think you know what Otaku is. Its a derogatory term in Japan. Of course Westerners love to just use it and make it glorified, but its actually used as an insult in Japan.
I have a wii and I don’t watch anime. XD
Hahahahahah @ mr Wii.
which console plays Frogger?
Xbox 360 and PS3 does. You can get Frogger through their online service.
I definetly recommend the 360 (I have the 360 PS3 Wii and pretty much every other console ever made). The games are amazing plus no other console offers a better online gaming experience. Oh and Gears of war and Graw 2 are must haves plus halo 3 is comming out and that alone is worth getting the 360 for. So if u ever get the 360 and play online add my gamer tag (layan) and you see what its like to lose to a girl 😛
