And for you cheapos who haven't yet played it, No More Heroes is a must play that can be found easy and cheap anywhere.

If you are considering a game for the Wii, look at the list, read the review, then make up your mind.
What you shouldn't do is break our commenting rules and get off topic or start talking about whether this is news.
I've got a ban hammer, and I need to swing it.

Just off this list: Dead Space, Muramasa, New SMB, Contra ReBirth, A Boy and His Blob and Little King's Story. They all look really good.
*sigh*

Also I am depressed, as I am just getting a PS3 for Christmas, and not much else, and I want half the things on this list as well...
.... Maybe I should start trying to do Commissions again? Maybe I should do some painting, FULL STOP!

And I don't really have much money to buy the games myself now.

Its been said a thousand times before, but everyone that has the means to, should play that game through at least once.

the second is a rollercoaster ride of pure balls to the wall action!
well, not pure action, there are like, 3 puzzles, and they take the whole of 30 seconds to complete, THEN ITS BACK TO ACTION FASTER THAN A MOTHERFUCKER!

If trading on that site isn't your thing, there's always used games at Gamestop and/or trading in games.

But won't that make the first seem even worse by comparison when I do eventually get round to playing it?
11/25/09
This is true... I just dont want you getting bored of Uncharted 1 and not getting round to playing through 2.
You must play it!
...I'll be watching

The same real men can also afford the Wii to get in touch with their inner child. Also because they can afford a Wii, along with the PC.
360s and PS3s are for teenagers who still depend on their parents' money.

"Wait a sec, your PC is a Laptop! And not even a Gaming one!"
Well duh, I use my Work PC for video games...

however, I think it's getting a lot of flak for essentially being a beat-'em-up.
I mean, hold these same critiques to Final Fight or Streets of Rage and see how those games fare... know what I mean?

Standards change, buddy. Mindless repetition, even in beat 'em ups, is not acceptable anymore in present-day gaming.

Wolverine holds about a 75% on GameRankings and Metacritic, and the majority of the reviews did mention the repetitiveness of the game. Saying it was "loved" by "just about everyone" is a pretty big overstatement.
Come on, now. No need to try to defend a game that clearly has flaws, especially since your "evidence" does nothing to prove your "point".
10/05/09
Your attempt to take the high road just makes you look like a total douche. Especially considering you have no actual argument against what I'm saying.
And I'm not defending just this game. I'm arguing against the idea that "repetition is not acceptable." It's in every game out there. It's in every shooter. Every game you have enjoyed in the last month, is very likely "mindlessly repetitive." Your tastes didn't "evolve" or "change," you just arbitrarily decided it was okay for some games and not okay for others.

Another example...Street FighterIV...hyped, loved in the reviews and guess what, it's Street Fighter EX2 with better graphics, more characters and gameplay tweaks. What does Capcom do...announce Super Street FighterIV Turbo HD, Custom, Hyper, Solid, Fat Toad, Looks like your Mom, Edition... milking it for all its worth.
BlazBlue and KoF....er'...45 are the true fighters that should be held in high regard.
After playing Turtles in Time on PSN, I could go for Spyborgs...after I'm finished getting platinum in Batman: AA
Oh well

"repitition" is not the problem, its poor design. ive said this time and time again, people wont have a problem with doing the same thing over and over, if what they are doing is really satisfying. streets of rage 2 is regarded one of the best beat em ups of all time for that reason.. sure you were going up against swarms and swarms of the same enemies, but the mechanics and design was so good, you had fun doing it.
i mean really, its like left 4 dead or horde/firefight in gears/halo. although those games had some campaigns ppl talk about.. most people say odst is worth it for firefight.
firefight isnt that much fun alone imo, but with a friend or 2 (or 3), its a blast. same thing with 99% of the old beat em ups.

I kind of wish some of the light-heartedness from the first pass had stuck around (almost like Uncharted). As it stands, it is a bit too "grrr, I am tough and might = right!" for my tastes.
Perhaps the end result will change my mind.

Seems really fun. Hopefully it delivers.

Also, I hope they announce the new TvC characters at GamesCom.
