Mario Party 8 - Wii

Loads of room for improvement!

A giant let down for me. I hoped to see more of the wii controls implemented. Unfortunately the game only has a few mini games that can use the wii remote. I hope the next version comes out better.

Heavenly Sword - PS3

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Not enough content
Engaging story Unresponsive controls
Intense action  
Addictive gameplay  
Bought with PS3

I bought this game with my PS3 and loved it. I played through it in a couple of days breaking in my new system. The controls threw me off for a few levels, but part of that might have been the change from my Xbox 360 control scheme that I was already familiar with. Some of the dialogue gets to be extremely cheesy, but it's easy to look past. The action and adrenaline rush in this game is enough to keep you hooked.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Wii

Metroid Fan

I have always been fascinated with Metroid, in fact the first game I bought on my own for the NES was Metroid. Corruption if finally what it should be in first person form. I loved the visuals and the story kept me on my toes waiting to see what was around the next corner. I wish Nintendo would have come up with a multi player version similar to the DS Hunters, but the game was enough fun I still consider it one of the Wii's best!

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Wii

Pros Cons
Fantastic multiplayer Poor storytelling
Just plain fun Repetitive gameplay
Fun runs out

Loved the game originally, but it gets very tiring after awhile as I can only smash so many people so many times. I still recommend the game, just know that people like myself who really enjoy story as the main function of the game will eventually get bored.

Where is Portal 2???

The orange box is loaded with great games! Portal quickly became my favorite and I will never get tired of hearing a twisted angry manipulative computer sing death threats to me. Believe me, Portal 2 is going to be big!
