for example, American revolution. if you want the security of the British empire then go back. or you could grow some balls and fight for america in the revolution in an attempt to have freedom and liberty.
yeah, I also don't think it would be particularly good for people with arthritis,
however my grandpa, who has the worlds shakiest hands, beat the crap out of me at bowling, so idk.
pressing A to get through a menu, or simply holding down a large button while bowling or batting isn't the same thing as... devil may cry, where you're rapidly and successively pressing lots of little buttons so hard that you break multiple dual shocks over the course of a game (true story... >.
yeah, I can't imagine it being good on the wrists for someone with arthritis. (though my wrists haven't had problems with it ever...)
I couldn't say for red steel, as I didn't buy it after I saw it's bad reviews...
I said game, not minigame(s). while raving rabbids is lots of fun, the gameplay in the minigames are hardly anything more than the control scemes, there's no gameplay for the controls to detract from, since the gameplay is entirely the controller.
the motion sensing in most cases works very well, (best example so far seems to be madden)
but I haven't yet played a game that uses the sensor bar / laser pointer controls in a good, fun, intuitive way. I have no doubt that it'll get much better over time, (it may just be that it'll take a while to get used to,)
though it is in general great for menus, but I haven't yet seen actual in-game content use it in a particularly good and intuitive way. I'm really hoping we start seeing some strategy games that accomplish this.
I can't tell if you're trying to be funny or if you're just stupid...
it's called the wii remote... unfortunately, penny arcade is not the official namer of products.
true...
but In a truly good game experience, the controls should dissolve. it should become entirely about the gameplay. and the wii controller, in many cases detracts from gameplay. (play through trauma center for the DS, then play trauma center on the wii, you'll quickly see what I mean)
sure, eventually we'll get used to it, and it'll only get better and better, but for now the games are too much about the controller, rather than the game. (the important thing) and there's nothing that can be done about this, but it isn't exactly the "revolution" nintendo's claiming.
I'll tell you MY problem with HS. (I'm currently a junior at Bothell high school, WA)
we're forced to take bullshit classes with bullshit teachers.
I WANT to drop out, I really want to. but I also want to go to a good college where I can LEARN things that I want to learn.
I have nothing against learning, I love learning, I just feel that high school is doing a bullshit job of it.
if there was some way for me to drop out of high school and get into the college I want, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
there's lots of teachers don't even TEACH.
math? the standard math books have you follow the steps in the book, and the teacher doesn't even have to know a lick of math. And the "core math" books don't even do a good job. (fortunately I'm now finally taking a college math course with a decent teacher (in HS, but for college credit too) but I had to get through three years of agonizingly slow paced "core" crap to finally get here.)
english? teachers assign drawing homework, and despite what they think, grading me on how pretty a picture I draw from a shakespeare play isn't teaching. When we read novels where a lot can be learned, teachers just give us quizzes to make sure we read it, and then maybe have us write an essay based on what the teacher has to have us do, wanting everybody to have the same cut and dry response. They rarely to never talk about the deep stuff, I'd like a teacher to talk in-depth about the catcher in the rye, but the teacher doesn't. I had a lot more fun reading the book a year ago (before we had to in class), and the teacher didn't teach me ANYTHING about it that I didn't already think about when I read it a year ago. (to be fair, in 9th grade, the teacher I had did a pretty good job with animal farm, but that's one book out of how many?)
I ask, why should I draw a pretty picture of macbeth when I could be learning more programming?
and I'm not even saying I want an over-specialized education where I never branch out and learn something unrelated to the field I'd be in, I'd want to take lots of unrelated classes that I'd find fun to learn about, misc. science classes like psychology, etc.. but I don't want to be restricted by the education system.
for example, everybody's required to get one "occupational education" credit to graduate, and the options in HS are crap. the only computer related classes are bullshit stuff like how to use microsoft office, or "video production" (the point of the class is to spend the whole year using a green screen everyday. they don't learn much else.) thinking about those options, why don't they just give me a few dozen oc ed credits? because I've learned plenty via the internet. but no, I have to take some retard class. beginning programming with C#? the teacher's horrible. (btw, who the hell decided C# was a good first programming language?)
fortunately, I was able to get the credit filled with summer camps I've taken at digipen. hmm... a college.
I understand that they want everybody to get a broad education, then let us choose what we want to do with our life. But I could be in college right now, getting the education I want, rather than this education the school district wants me to have.
true, granted, how difficult is it to actually get a DX10 game to use DX9 instead?
I'm under the belief that the the announced vista-only games are just marketing tools to get people to upgrade.
also, WHY THE PS3?
I'm not a PS3 hater (at all), but on release? WHO cares that much for resistance: fall of man and RIIIiIIdge RAACERRR? (sure, resistance's by an amazing developer, one of my favorites, insomniac, but... really?)
and this list will be great for what, another half a year? until the next pikmin or trauma center or something comes out?
there's no good way to do genre lists, at least not if you want them to last for... a period of time.

solution #4: stop taking about worms! what the hell. that's not even an issue anymore. (since XP SP2 has buit-in firewall that's on by default...)
for example, American revolution. if you want the security of the British empire then go back. or you could grow some balls and fight for america in the revolution in an attempt to have freedom and liberty.

AH HA HA HA HA.
is this even possible in a fricken dream?
ghosting issues are of the past.
if you get a good new LCD there is none.

huh? really? what game were you playing?
actually a lot of wii sports games don't work on the couch too well, bowling for example, there's no comfortable way to do it while lounging back.

the answer, my friend, is no.
I'm sorry, but the PS3 does NOT have "ease of development"
go a block away to another store?
NAAAHH...

what part of wii/ZELDA are they missing?
I mean for christ's it's ZELDA
damn. I've been running RC1, but as soon as it's released I'm downgrading back to XP to avoid the thousands of security problems.
I voided my windows XP product key by upgrading my computer.
or DOUBTING IT'S GHOST???
but will there continue to be wow articles DAILY?
wait, don't answer, I don't wanna know.
damn it if there's one more WoW article this month I'm gonna go insane.
what the fug is up with the wow facination?
compelling features? DX10. that's it. but there wont even be any DX10 games worth upgrading GPU and OS for for about another 2 years or so xD.
and this list will be great for what, another half a year? until the next pikmin or trauma center or something comes out? there's no good way to do genre lists, at least not if you want them to last for... a period of time.
