A lot of people have said that the Wii doesn't have any real games out for it, and they'd probably be mostly right. One exception to this rule though is No More Heros, a mix of chop socky and insanity, it is a glaring example of adult video games. I honestly think that had this game been released on the Xbox or PS3 there would be a lot more controversy about it, but I temper that with the fact that I was able to pick it up at Target on clearance. Any way, it's a crazy game that really should get more attention by anyone looking for something more exciting than Super Mario Bros.
On top of that I've also been playing Far Cry 2 (came with the PS3 bundle) and while I took a while to warm up to the game I still am left with one nagging question. Why does everyone in Africa want to kill me??? I can't drive by a car, camp, or even a freaking Zebra without them wanting to attack me in some way. Even at night when they shouldn't be able to tell who I am. It's like a constant deathmatch just trying to get from one end of the (huge) map to the other. Of course with all that being said, the game is beautiful and really engrossing. I wish I had been able to play it on the Xbox so I could get achievements, but considering mine has been in TX for a while getting repaired that would have been kind of impossible.
Speaking of repair, I got an email friday saying that the Xbox was on its way back to us. That would make this total experience roughly about two weeks, which sucks but isn't the worst scenario. Although I'm lucky I not only had two other consoles (one of which we bought the day the xbox died) but also some other games I wanted to finish playing. I still find it funny that Microsoft basically pushed me into the arms of Sony because of the RRoD. Of course I like to think of it as a blu ray player that also plays games, but time will tell. As long as my Xbox doesn't bork on me again I think I'd rather keep building my achievement score but who knows how that will work out.
