eGames Entertainment Expo(not the real E3… pfft)

I went all the way to the city, moved from train to bus and back because of some problem with the train tracks, walked the radius of the city to get to this expo, I wanted to play some ****ing Wii.

The event was awesome, I only really wanted to check out all the features of the Wii anyway, but there was a whole lot of different booth's for anime, multimedia courses, chairs, and lots of lan games running(FEAR, Warcraft 3 etc).

So here is what I think about some of the games

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam

Boo!. I actually don't know quite what to make of this game, it has all the elements of the older TH games, skate and do awesome tricks to get points. The one thing I found quite disturbing with this is that points don't really matter anymore… the level we all got to play was just a downhill race to the finish…. A RACE!!!(?). Whatever happened to the times of planning your own line of tricks to do in the levels, now what seems to be the only aim is who can stay grinding the fastest.

Wii Sports

The Nintendo presenter showed alot of this to people, it does seem pretty awesome to play against people.

There's 6 games, things like tennis, bowling, boxing etc.

Tennis is cool, you basicly use the nun-chuk to move your player and the controller to swing the bat. In things like boxing, the nun-chuck is the left arm and the controller is the right.

Can't really tell ya if you should buy it or not… seeing as it comes bundled with Wii

Red Shell

Didn't get to play, from what I saw it had crap graphics and the movement isn't sensitive enough(you rotate really slowly even if you put in alot of effort)

But hey… it could get better

Zelda: Twilight Princess

This was the joygasm of the event, it has everyone OoT has and so much more(like, the magnet boot thingys, which let you walk on every angle). For a demo though, I wanted to see that awesomeness of becoming a wolf, however the demo was simply you going around with your sword(and the controller does control the arm…) killing the baddie's. Aiming with the bow is alot harder then what I remember it being, but the shooting experience is awesome(you hear the snap of the bow from the remote, and then later hear it hitting something from the TV speakers). The graphics for this are pretty good, nothing too special against all the other games at the expo.

Wii

I learnt so much about the Wii, how you can have a 'Mii', lil avatar's that you can style however you want. The Wii also never turns off, it's always in standby mode, so it's always downloading new content for you aswell. It has an Opera browser, thought I would still say using a computer is better *cough*keyboard*/cough*.

One thing I don't really like though is that once you have a TV setup to use the Wii, you might need to buy like extra stick stuffm or that if you want to change what TV it's on, because you attack 2 sensor bars to the top and bottom of the TV.

The wii remote is awesome, has really good rumble pack, aswell as good sound.

Hey… what a minute, why wasn't the PS3 at that expo… pfft what n00bs.

And yeah, I entered every contest I could find there… fun times

Stealthed game is fun, it now has weight limits, and uh… Dark Fusion is canceled..
