Why are you so bitter?

What current games do you like?

Edit:
By the way - For those wondering I got the Nyko Wiimote battery charger today finally and it seems to work perfectly. It fully charged 2 batteries in roughly 3-3.5 hours.

Why not just buy NiMH batteries with a 15 minute charge? I bought 6 2400mah AA batteries + 2 AAAs + 15 minute charger from costco for $30! Works for the Wii/360

[Exoduso]

And it didn't break? Anything Nyko seems to be trash...Their damn intercooler almost fried my 360.

[Po]

It's nice, it also has a better grip on the back. I wonder if they will sell just additional battery packs for it, since I have more than 2 remotes.

[Exoduso]

Does it make the wiimote any heavier? (the batteries + that new cover)

[Po]

Yes, a little heavier. It is noticeable, so I suppose you could call that a downside.
Tbh though, I like it, makes it feel more sturdy, and again the grip is very nice.

God of War for PSP confirmed.

Motorstorm is shipping today but got a pretty low score... most likely because the graphics could've been better, and to be honest the fact you can't do split screen is a major turnoff... but I think it'll still be a pretty solid game. I've been playing the demo for a few weeks now and have been loving it.

Oh and does anyone know if that new NBA Street game that is shipping today is worth anything? It seems like they keep reusing it over and over (even though I loved the original NBA Street game when it first came out on the PS2, it was my first PS2 game heh.)

Motostorm average score was 8.5 with the lowest score being a 7.5 it seems solid to me, but who cares about motostorm when God of War 2 comes out next Tuesday :D

[Exoduso]

Is god of war going to have widescreen or 480p capabilities at least? Otherwise it would look crappy on a big screen TV, especially if you play it on a PS3.

Yes.
The original version had widescreen and 480p too.

[Exoduso]

That's pretty good then.

BTW, is the new Sonic game for the Wii worth buying? or is it just a rental game.

[Kenai]

I'd call it a rental. You will either find it amusing or despise it, no in-between. But rental to keep it on the safe side.

[Po]

or despise it

That was my opinion after trying it. Stupid waste of $25 <.< (traded it in)

wtf no split screen? So no bringing over the buddies to play it? That sucks, the game looked good. They need to make a modern version of Super Off Road.

[Exoduso]

Well it is a good game, it just sucks that you have to take turns instead of playing at the same time.

Ugh so far away... is there anything coming out for the 360 in the meanwhile that is actually worth keeping that console around for?

[SephYuyX]

Your logic doesnt make sense. You have a 360, but want to get rid of it because it has "no real good games coming out soon". You already paid 400$ for it, youll be ucky to get 200$ back for it. Why not just keep it, and when more good games come out youll have it already instead of buying it again.

[Exoduso]

Because in that case, I won't be buying it again.

I don't really have time for all 3 consoles, let alone one... so I figured, I need to get rid of something... and in the long run, I would rather keep the PS3 around than the 360.

[Po]

You'd blow 200 dollars in what, a week max? I agree it is a waste.

Shit, why not keep it for GTA4 even? Sure it's on PS3 too, but at least playing it on 360 maybe it will have co-op, and it will have achievements.
I would say 360 should be the console of choice for multiplatform games since it will support the best online play by far, and also achievement points.
