   Really random, but wrestling game on the Wii vs HD consoles (PS3/360). I know on the 360 Smackdown looks all shiny and detailed, but when I see the Wii version, it looks a lot more fun.

   Same with Madden, did not the Wii get extra features/challenges/something on the Wii version (I am not a football person)?

   I am trying to form these thoughts into some form of a question, but, I guess maybe it is time for Microsoft to just make some sort of motion sensing controller. I can’t see why it would hurt the system. There would be the initial “but you are just copying the wii!” .. but hey, better to do it now, than a couple of weeks before the system debuted at an E3 (ie what Sony pulled if I remember).

   My Wii collects dust. Xbox has the games, has a lot of devs already working with them, I guess I just want the system to ‘have it all’ because I am lazy about switching the channels to use a different gaming system.

   Also Remember Rust Friday is the first round of the Platform Nation Halo Contest competition. Which you have not signed up for I might add???

3. X3R0 9 Said,

   The sign-ups end on Friday. The contest actually kicks off on Sunday. How about Orange Box impressions. I’m kinda wanting to get some opinions about that because, I know I’m buying either COD4 or Mass Effect, and I maybe able to squeeze something else in, but as far as my Holiday Wish List, I would like to have an idea how to rank some others in the list.

   Oh, by the way, why haven’t you signed up yet Rusty?

   There’s been a lot of discussion about “value” of late–on messageboards and in game reviews. For example, Shadowrun and Warhawk were criticized for being multiplayer only and $40 being too much for such a limited game. Heavenly Sword, The Darkness, and other games have been criticized for being too short–at 6 to 8 hours–to justify a $60 purchase.

   Conversely, Halo 3 and The Orange Box have been roundly praised for packing so much value into a single $60 disc.

   Personally, I was completely satisfied spending $60 on both Heavenly Sword and The Darkness, because of the quality they packed into 7 or 8 hours of gameplay. And in the case of Portal, I’d have felt totally justified in spending 50 or 60 bucks for what amounts to a 3-hour ride, because the ride is that damn good.

   So, I’d like to know what the members of the roundtable think. What do you expect for your $60? Does EVERY game have to have multiplayer? How short is too short for a singleplayer game? Or is there such a thing as “too short” if what you’re getting is so good, so free of useless filler, that you’re left feeling exhilirated and wanting more?

   When it comes to gaming, making a schedule is out of the question. Weather it’s weeks, days or even HOURS in advance, making a commitment is not something I can do often and I usually end up regretting when I do.

   I agree with Mik (my thoughts on Bioshock http://www.xbox360rally.com/problems-with-bioshock-the-game-of-the-year-flaws-start-to-show/ ).
