Red Steel, Trauma Center, and Rayman. I can't say I've played any of them but those are the next on my list to buy. I only have Zelda right now. Cod3 looks fun but no multiplayer makes me not want it.

So I heard Superman REALLY sucked, and I had not opened it yet, so I decided to return it and take advantage of the buy two get one free sale.

What Wii game have you guys tried and which ones would you recommand buying ?

Red Steel is great, IMO, but it had been given some bad reviews, but I disagree with it. Call of Duty is also really fun, but it lacks multiplayer from what I know. These are the only two that I have tried.

I also am getting Madden NFL 07 for the Wii, since I have some money available after selling some games and my PS2. :)

So I took back Tomb Raider Legend...

Got this one instead.

It was only like $2 difference. I guess I am just a action/FPS guy afterall.

I had no patience for Tomb Raider Legend. Timing jumps and balancing on ledges was just not very fun to me...

Prey is meh, but it holds my interest, and at least I got an achievement out of it already... Graphics wise, it looks very similar to Doom 3. It also has multiplayer options. :)

I don't ACTUALLY own this YET but...

http://www.xzone.cz/coverxbox360/velky/41.jpg)

Playing IS believeing! I realize I am a little late to the party on this one, but I only got my 360 a little over a month ago, and it was already released before that. NHL 07 on the 360 is the ****! The skill stick was more fun than I thought it would be, and not as hard to get the hang on as I originally thought it would be. I checked this one out on lone from work, (ya we get to check out used games...) and I HAVE to own this one!

Swampie Hockey fans owning a 360, if you have not played this one yet, try and rent it if you can. Using your left thumbstick to pull off slapshots, poke checks and dekes...It's a blast!

Sorry for no answering earlier, I was... busy <_<

To answer the question about Trauma Center, I'd say it's really hard to judge how good it is because I have no other reference. This game is so different from "traditionnal games" that I'd go as far as say it's in his own category. That said, so far I've enjoyed the game although the presentation leaves a lot to be desired. Basically The game progeses through text based episodes in which the somewhat cheesy story unfolds. Most episodes require that you perform an operation , but some just have you read throug pages of text.

The actual gameplay is rather fun and easy to pick up though. You select your tools with the analog joystic by pointing in one of the 8 directions and use them with the remote. You'll have to perform different basic tasks that you'll come to know by heart, but the games does get harder as some operations can turn ugly in an instant. In that case you'll have to react quickly to avoid loosing your patient. Generally though, if you follow this directives properly and don't make mistakes, you'll have no problem in succesfully completing your operations. I haven't played the DS version, so this is all new to me and it is quite refreshing from the games I'm used to play.

As For Red Steel and Monkey Ball, I haven't unwrapped them yet and I'm not sure I will either. I'll probably keept them sealed until Mario, Metroid or Brawl come out and try to trade them in.

Yes, good plan.

Red Steel isn't as good as I was when I first played it. Once you get finish more levels and get farther into the game, it feels a lot different compared to other FPSs. On one level, it feels like your playing some Saw video game.

The game is really buggy and the swordplay is cheesy.

Random thing: Blue Dragon, the 360 game, is 3 DVDs large... That's just from looking on the Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Dragon) site, not sure if it comes with bonus discs or anything.

It IS 3 DVDs. Damn, it also got 37/40 on Famitsu. Too bad it's not coming to the states for a while.

Lucasarts are actually developping a new engine of their own. From What I've heared it'll be pretty awesome too. I don't remember where I read or saw this, but a dev commented on their physics engine and said someting to the effect that they had created a peice of glass, but it was too thin to support its onwn weight, so it realistically collapsed on itself. He also talked about the whole "force unleashed" idea. Sounds promissing.

But what I'm really looking forward too (and hope they don't screw up) is the alleged Star Wars game for Wii. I hope I don't have to explain :p
