i definately agree with you here, pc is the way to go, i only got the xbox360 for some exclusive titles like halo 3 and Lost odyssey is one i really want to get. and if you really like the 360 games, you can just get a 360 hd drive for your computer and a controller, pretty much the exact same as a console.

btw, which games are you planning to get with your Wii?

I still think RTS on consoles are pretty retarded (KB & mouse ftw!).

But yeah for the Wii, Mario Galaxy and Zelda are awesome. Mario part 8 boring. Raving Rabids 1 & 2 as well as the Wario game is fun at first but wears out pretty fast (waving stuff around randomly without a real concrete purpose tends to lose its appeal pretty fast).

Hmm should add Zelda to my list of purchase then. LOL. the thread getting a little OT eh?

Anyways... the point of Wii is for short fun 'together' games since I don't game even on the PC that much anymore. It's just plainly expensive to always keep up with the latest GPUs just to play new games. No way I can afford that anymore.

epithanatios: Noticed that your location is Canada... Incidentally, I'm getting my Wii from a Leian's bro who's helping me to buy it from Vancouver! LOL!

i have a wii and a x360.

for playing with friends and family, definitely the best one is the wii. there's just too much fun to be had when playing the sports.

but playing solo i would go with x360, mass effect is just a game everyone should play, it's just awesome.

i recomend getting tiger woods golf for wii, it's reeeeeeally cool and you feel like you're really playing golf.

I thought that I should also point out that the Wii is region locked.

Hey, Nintendo did after all introduce region lockout to the industry.

Only exceptions are the portable games (PSP - for games, and GameBoy Advance and DS).

I don't own one but my brother does and it loads of fun.

From my own experience:

MUST OWN Wii games:
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Warioware: Smooth Moves
- Rayman Raving Rabbids
- Metroid Prime 3
- Super Paper Mario

Give'em a rent and buy'em if you like'em:
- Excite Truck (great sensation of speed)
- Sonic and the Secret Rings (more "on-rails" than I'd like, but it's still fun)
- Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga (wii controls might be a turn off to some)

Don't bother with:
- Wii Play (buy it for the extra remote and then sell/ditch the game)
- Red Steel (buggy as hell, rushed to release)
