Heh I don't think like that now! But yeah never liked point and click games, tried them a great deal over the years and just found the genre tedious.

 

[cybershot]

Yeah also never liked monkey island etc, in fact I hated them and was so hardcore I didn't even consider them games...

 

[Jambooboo]

I would like to remind all Wii owners to BUY THIS GAME on your way home this evening. Or this weekend. Whatever. Just buy it

I've had that for more than a month and not played it yet - still playing Call Of Duty 4.

 

[Part 2]

^^^Been playing this with the 7 year old the last few days.

It's good fun, I think we've got 5 pieces of skeleton so far, just reached the first boss level, (King of the Jungle?).

Tempted to go and pick it up now but I won't get to bed if I do.

 

[Sunray]

Got it the other day.

Its a very very good puzzle game. Some of them have had me thinking really hard for ages. Music and sound effects are a little annoying

Find the hidden music thing good fun if a bit hard.

Me and the missus have been playig Zak and Wiki too - one of the few games I have ever got her to play.


On the second boss at the moment.

Getting hard now. Real sense of satisfaction when you solve one

The only thing I think doesn't work so well, are the more "arcade-y" aspects on a level, such as when you need to avoid creatures or "attacks" in real time.

The controls don't lend themselves too well to that sort of thing and I have found myself meeting a sticky end more than a few times due to Zak not moving where I want him to in time....

Other than that - thumbs up!

I'm kinda put off by the overworld section of the game, Apparently it's horrible and runs really badly, and apparently if you fail a mission you have to travel to another one, before you can go back to the one you lost.

Sounds far too annoying to pay £35+ for. Will wait for it to hit bargain baskets. Plus all the gore has been took out the European release.

Got Guitar Hero 3 today.

 

[cybershot]

Just started playing Battalion Wars 2 as got it for a bargain £17.99 on choicesuk.com

Muchos fun.

My missus has gone and ordered a Wii with Wii Fit

I mean, I'm the one that buys all the consoles....but I'm not complaining!

Got around to buying Scarface and Mario Galaxy at the weekend.

Fun and violent week ahead!

I'm getting a wii for my birthday ( well, me and sprog are getting it as a joint present ). How difficult are they to chip? Or is it not worth the risk? I was thinking of getting Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit to start off with - is there anything else I shouldn't miss? And does anyone know of any good deals (that will ship to Ireland). And what extra controllers do I need to get - I reckon we will need two controllers and two steering wheels at least!

This is going to be bloody expensive, innit?

 

[Part 2]

Mines chipped and had no problems even though it's one of the first chips that isn't updateable. I still don't have SMG but I think it's possible to sort it now.

I think I've read of a clip in chip but I might be dreaming it The newer Wiis are harder to chip and need a specific chip, the D2C. I think it has more wires and is quite difficult to fit from what I read.

 

[Strumpet]

I want a WiiFit!


*hugs Part2 n runs off*

 

[Chairman Meow]

Wii fit is bloody brilliant. If this doesn't get me off my fat arse, nothing will.

I just got my wii yesterday - OMG how much fun is it?!

 

[cybershot]

For those that were interested in Medal Of Honor: Heroes 2, you can get it here for the bargain price of £12.83

Got mine on Friday, and no problems, didn't plonk it on here at the time as didn't want it to get all over the net and then them pull it as being mis-priced, but I got mine ok.

Is it available in Ireland?? I've been trying to buy it for ages and nowhere has it.

So as far as I'm concerned the wii is BORING It's not really a one person thing imo.
I got that Zack & whatever game, played it once(6 wks ago) and never been near it again.

The wii is currently sitting in a bag since I brought it back from my pals a fortnight ago.

Over-rated imo, but I haven't exactly tweaked with it much, haven't had much time to play it this weekend.
