I'm very tempted to try the trilogy when it comes out. I've never played a Metroid game but since most people like the game so much, I'm considering giving it a try (same situation with Brawl and Conduit) I've always been a fan of more easy going, laid back games, i.e Super Mario Bros, but Metroid seems like it could be interesting (and I think Brawl just appeals to me because all my favorite characters are in there :o ) I was recently in the same boat with the Halo series, gave it a try, hated it, never looking back at anything in that style again.

On the other hand, I think Metroid looks kind of interesting. The use of motion controls appears to be good and an alien shooter seems like it may be more appealing to me than shooting at people. The game just looks interesting and the graphics appear to be good and I like that it isn't like your everyday shooter game nowadays that has you blowing people up, chopping them up, shooting them, etc. So that is what appeals to me. Once I give the game a try I will be able to give a more complete answer, but at least for now that is what has my interest peaked!

I love my Wii and don't have a lack of games I'm wanting, but I'm also looking to get a game for the Wii that is a little outside of my comfort zone just to see what other options are out there. I'm hoping I will like it, though my recent adventure with Halo has me a little concerned.

Well, I don't really have any games in my collection that I think are terrible (except for the ones I don't actually like and plan to get rid of) but I would say that Bolt and The Bee Movie Game are considered the worst games in my collection. Bolt, I can see, it is your typlical movie game and has the typical problems. I haven't played it much, but feel it will be playable enough to get to the end. On the other hand, I have found The Bee Movie to be quite surprising. I was expecting your everyday, terrible movie game, but it is actually pretty good and currently the game I play most on my Xbox (I know, sad)

Aside from my Xbox, I don't have any bad games on my PS3. For the PSP, I'm not a big fan of Dead Head Fred, though haven't played it a ton. I also just trade Sonic Rivals for PSP, never could get past the beginning and while it still looked like it was just opened and I hated to do it, I trade it the other day (it really hurt, cause Sonic and I have always been close ;-) ). For DS, I don't really have bad games, but don't particularly like Dementium. I do have quite a few bad games on PS1 and Gamecube, but don't play them anymore, so they don't count.

And finally, the Wii. The Wii has one of the worst games I've ever played and that is Rig Racer 2, it is just terrible, but I won't get into it, if you are curious as to at I thought I wrote a review. That is a terrible game, but I don't play it, it is that bad (there are few games I find bad enough not to play) However, I do have Anubis II which gets terrible reviews, but I don't find it to be particularly terrible and I'm still playing it, I'm writing a review of it as well.

So that is a run down of all my bad games. Bad games make me sad and depressed, so I try not to think about them too often!

[QUOTE="PSP_DSL_ROX"]

I cannot get into Halo 3. I tried, I really did, everyone likes the game it seems to be popular but I just couldn't get into it.

A game I fell into, I can get into just about any game from Nintendo really quick, for example Animal Crossing, Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Bros, etc. But as far as the Xbox I haven't really had any games that I have found addicting yet, though I've not had a chance to play much on some of my new games, so once I get more time with them that might change a little. I thought I would be addicted to Forza 2, but that really hasn't been the case yet. Oddly enough, I got the Bee Movie game and found it to be a lot of fun, a lot more fun than I was ever expecting.

A game I would suggest to you is Kameo. It reminds me of Zelda a bit, you might like it. But there are not enough games like Nintendo makes on Xbox sadly.

Thanks for the suggestion. Someone suggested the game to me on the forums and I picked it up the other day. So I have the game now and tested it quick to make sure it was working, but haven't got to play for more than 20 minutes or so. It definitely looks like it is going to be my style of game and I'm looking forward to trying it. I would love to see some Nintendo style games, with a Microsoft flair on the 360, that would be awesome. I really like the Xbox so far and it is already my preferred system over the PS3, but I think Nintendo will always come out ahead... I would love my Xbox even more if Microsoft didn't charge for everything and charge so much for what you have to buy.

Personally, I think it is kind of useless and thought so since getting my PS3. The only time I get new clothes is if they are free. When I'm already paying for the system and games (and with Microsoft paying for Xbox Live and the Wireless Adapter) the last thing I'm going to spend money on is virtual clothes that no one really sees anyway.

I think it is fun to win some clothing items and stuff by playing games, but I would never pay for stuff to put on my avatar.

I don't necessarily think it changed the way I game. If anything, I think it improved the way I game. It used to be I would play a game, solve it and then move on. Now, once I've solved a game the fun is going back in and trying to get the achievements/trophies that I missed during the first play. I am very much OCD about completing things, so it has also made it difficult to accept that I won't be able to get a perfect 1000 score and platinum trophy on all games. But in terms of actually changing the way I game, I don't think so, I still play my games as usual and don't play the game to just get the achievements. The amount of replay is great, if I ever find myself in the situation of having all the games I want and there not being anything new out for a while I want, getting more achievements and trophies is a great way to get to the next great games.

The Wii is still, by far my favorite system, but I still think it would benefit greatly by having some type of system like the 360 and PS3. They just add another element to the game and make the experience last that much longer and feel that much more complete.

I currently have all 6 of my games installed on the hard drive, the only thing I don't have yet is the expansion pack for Forza 2, just haven't got around to installing it. I still have just around 20gb left out of 60gb, so I am pretty pleased with that, because I thought I would be lucky to get 5 on there.

I definitely recommend downloading them to the hard drive. It may or may not speed up load times, but to me that doesn't really matter. I prefer to do that because it helps the system to run a lot cooler (since downloading the games I don't notice the 360 getting hot at all) and it also makes it run more quietly, just listening to the system when it loads the disc for the first time and goes directly into the game makes me very happy I can download the games. I always thought people were just being picky when they said it was that loud, but it is very loud, so downloading helps a lot!

Yes, as a matter of fact I still remember the day it woke me up saying "If you don't buy me an HD TV I'm going to YLOD on you, then we will see who has the power!"

Just kidding, though not really funny... Anyhow, I had a fairly new tube TV with the flat front and everything, but it was just so huge and heavy that I got tired of it. Overall, the picture quality was good, but I just decided to give it away cause it was such a pain to move around and stuff I just decided it was time to upgrade. So in comes the PS3, I was actually planning to get an HD TV and a PS3, but it just so happened that I got the PS3 before the TV. I never actually put it on my old TV, instead I put it on my plasma until I was able to decide on the tv I was going to get.

So in the end, not really, it just happened that I got the PS3 before the TV, but both were planned purchases. Although, if I didn't have an HDTV, I don't know that I would have got a PS3, I just think they make such a nice pair!

I am very excited about it. Super Mario Bros is what got me to get the DS Lite, and quite possibly back into gaming for the most part. I love Super Mario Bros, my favorite game when I was going up, and it is just a classic that I never get tired of.

I am really excited about the game and is one that will definitely be in my collection by the end of the year!

As the other said, expect the game around October or November, but definitely in time for Christmas.

This makes it hard for me since Mario is my favorite video game character and Mario games always top my list.

However, since he is not included I think I would have to say is Animal Crossing City Folk at the moment, just because I'm addicted to it. However, it seems this game may be one that consumes time at first and then slowly withers away until you never play it again, but I will just have to see how it turns out. I think Wario Land Shake It will be a game that tops my list as well. And, actually tonight, my brother and I were discussing Wii games and he asked me what game I would want to keep if I only had one and the answer would definitely be Wii Sports or Wii Sports Resort just for the amount of games and how many hours of fun both have provided. Wii Sports was so awesome to play for the first time and a great way to experience the Wii right out of the box. Wii Sports Resort is an awesome game a great addition to my collection. If I had to pick one over the other, I would probably same Wii Sports Resort just because it does offer more games, but I think they are both great games!

I have found it interesting, since getting my Xbox and therefore completing my collection of current gen systems, that my Wii is always the system that has the most games I like. I never have a shortage of games I want and every game I've played on the sytem I have enjoyed. There are a couple of games I haven't particularly loved, but have still found enjoyable enought to continue playing until the end, with one exception and that is Rig Racer.

The Wii is just the system that always makes me smile, always has good games and is just all around great. I know there are a lot of people out there that don't like it and bash it, but I think the system is awesome and given the choice is probably my only system I would buy again (and the DS) I love the PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP, but they just don't make me feel the same way. Yes, I'm probably a little bit of a fanboy, but Nintendo is always the one that seems to make the most games I like and have the most fun with and I can pretty much rest assured that if I put my money into a Wii game, it will be money well spent. On the other hand, I have $400 in a PS3, $300 in an Xbox, $200 in a PSP and countless other dollars in games for all the systems that I play a fraction of the time I play the Wii and DS... So, in the end, deciding on my favorite Wii game is something that takes a lot of thought and deliberation, whereas an easy question to answer is my least favorite game, simply because I only have one!

Sorry for blabbing, as usual!
