The Wii is really cool. I haven't been too interested in video games since Defender/Stargate but my understanding is that the 'big boys' have the hardware and gruesome games while Nintendo has the gameplay. The Wii gameplay is *really* innovative and I think until you've actually used it it's hard to grasp how cool it is. Also:
- it makes gaming more of a group activity rather than an isolating one. Watching someone play a video game is usually boring as hell but watching someone play the Wii is pretty entertaining.
- little kids can play some of the games (like boxing or bowling). No, I don't park the 4 year old in front of the tube or game console but it's really cool that she can participate with her big brothers occasionally.
Funny comment I read about Nintendos lack of hardware greatness. This guy (for real) always disassembles the latest consoles to check out the hardware. When he cracked the Wii open he found a gamecubeSuspicion breeds trust.

Also I don't care if the game has blood and violence, but on games such as Resident Evil when they remove the blood that is part of the game, it is alittle ridiculious.

Mario is a character in many games, they aren't the same game however.
Doom has been recycled with the same game but with different characters 100 times or more. Doom, Resident Evil, Wolfenstein, Halo, Half-life....

Yup, totally different game altogether...
Well under that broad umbrella almost every game is the same. You could even put most Mario games in that catagory.
Doom and Halo are both first person perspectives. Resident evil is not. Futhermore you solve much more puzzles in rsident evil then Halo or Doom.

A wee bit off subject, but still a technology & geek thing....
Leti picked up 2 huge bags of free toys today. As she's going through them, she finds a vtech (like a psp for smaller kids) with 2 games in it in like new condition. The vtech itself is about $80 new and the games are about $20 each new, so she was pretty damn happy.
When she gets through sorting out all of the toys, she'll clean them up/wash them and we'll donate most of them to a local charity.
