is it not possible that these 'ratings' are more a guide to which age group will most appreciate these titles? They are all games more geared towards older players, not necessarily 21 year olds, but y'know :-P... not 6 year olds.
I just had a thought.. and I'm not sure how easy this would be to achieve.. Basically, based on the principle operations of an electric motor (Thanks, Michael Faraday), it works both ways right? Electricity into movement, and movement into electricity. Every motor is also a dynamo. Is it not theoretically possible that the rumble motors already installed in standard xbox360 controllers could, when gyrated, produce a small current, which specialised software, or a small peripheral could detect? I mean, you'd think that if it were possible, it would have already been done, but I can't see why it isn't possible for a company like Microsoft, with all their resources...
I think you're missing the point. the real trick is to wait until at least 5 people have posted. It has its origins, as many things do, in satire. Sick of the 'Firsting' going on in so many widely read blogs, I decided to pose as an excited fan with a rather disappointing connection speed. The irony amused me, although I dare say I am alone in that respect. And so, feeling rather bored this evening, I decided to engage in that old pastime, to see whether or not this practice would be picked up on. Evidently, it has, and while I apologise for any inconvenience caused by my antics, I do not intend to stop.
Anybody have any diea what kinda time frame we looking at here? I've got several thousand, and would be very pleased if 1 star did in fact transfer directly to 1 Wii point. Will it be via stars catalogue?
