New Wii owners: your impressions?

Wouldnt trade it for a PS3 on my worst day with it. I like it that much. Leave it to Nintendo to remind me what its like to be a kid again.

Nintendo's new Zelda falls flat

Dec 15th 2006 2:56AM (Joystiq)
This was the best Zelda yet. I played it, beat it, and played it some more. Cube Graphics? yeah sure... if you consider they switched it for the Wii Well over a year ago. More than enough time to spice up the graphics far beyond what the Cube is able. This game is beautiful and if you cant see that past all the pixels, you shouldnt even be reviewing games. Graphics were never an issue back on the old systems. Sure make it look pretty but if the game sucks because they spent too much time on the visuals, then its not worth anyones time. Nintendo doesnt need HD and super ultra visual display modes to make good games.

TGS: PS3 game case revealed

OK a few things, i dont hate PS3 or the 360. I am going to get the Wii because you can never go wrong with Nintendo. Eventually i will get a PS3 after the price drops a tad. Now then, The case looks dumb. And with what Sony has been saying about them making no profit on the consoles they need to make the cases and the case art as sexy as possible so people will buy them. I buy games for their quality, but not everyone is the same. I can tell you right now that if they dont make things look a tad better they are in for some trouble.

G4, Jack Thompson yell at each other

Here is something fun to think about. Violence by young people has gone down sense video games came out. It cant be tied to video games directly because there are too many factors that effect how children act. But the fact of the matter is there has been absolutly no increase in violence that can be attributed to video games. Bad parenting is a definite factor (A big one) but even that is not the main problem. Some things affect people differently. I have been playing games for at least 22 years. Have i ever wanted to kill someone? Yes. Did I? Hell no. I know right from wrong. Some people just kill because they can, or dont care. Being treated badly makes people kill too
maybe that should be Illegal? How about calling people names? To me video games are as much art as paintings and movies are. Does a violent movie make people wanna kill? How about a painting? Some people will blame anything they can find for their own shortcomings. Video games dont cause violence, violent people do. You make the choice to pull the trigger or stab someone. a video game does not control your actions. Take some responsibility.
