While I'm no friend to Gamestop, it does bear noting that Dead Space Extraction is 20 bucks on Black Friday.

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.

Just a reminder. This isn't meant to be a list of games you should buy. It is meant to be a guide for those looking at which games they should and shouldn't buy.

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.

I think I may regret asking for a new sound card and PC case over a Wii. Looks like it finally has enough games to make it worth 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*

Some of the images are a little messed up...

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!

@Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): Don't worry, the PS3 is more than enough to keep you happy over Christmas. I assure you, you will love it. The PS3 has really come into it's own and is no longer "the console that gets the crappy ports." Revel in the fact that you'll be playing Uncharted 2, Killzone, and inFamous while your friends will be exercising on the Wii Fit. ;)

@ttocs: @Fine Leather Jackets: Oh I have a Wii (and Wii Fit actually), my problem is that I have no money to buy anything, at all, and all my gifts are going to be mostly accessories for the PS3.

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

@Blore07: Actually, I'm getting the Slim Bundle that comes with it. I've also told my Mum that I Really would like to get the first game, Drake's Fortune, for Christmas from somebody, ANYBODY as well... I don't like playing games out of sequence.

@Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): For once, break sequence, the first is great, but I know a lot of people didnt reach the end as tbh, it did get a little tireing.

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!

@Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): When I first got my PS3, goozex.com was my best friend. I traded in all the 360 games that I never wanted to play anymore and got old PS3 games people didn't want to play anymore. You're hopping on the PS3 bandwagon late in the game, so luckily for you, most gamers are getting rid of the big hits you are going to want to play (MGS4, inFamous, Killzone 2, Uncharted 1, etc.)

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?

This is true... I just dont want you getting bored of Uncharted 1 and not getting round to playing through 2.

@John Weston: real men get PCs, because only real men can afford them.
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.

@WhiteMåge: I always used to get board games as gifts, which I loved, but nobody else in the family ever wanted to play them, so mostly they clogged up a shelf. Thankfully, as a geeky adult it's much easier to find people to play obscure board games with you.

Interesting. Many of the malls listed have arcades. I wonder if that factored into the decision?

Someone needs to explain to this woman that that is *NOT* how belts work. If she can't wear it correctly, then she shouldn't wear it at all.

Next, someone find a similar problem with her pants. #sportsauthority

Makes sense... I'm just waiting for products like Cyberbike to get here so I justify buying a Wii.

I'm not that much interested in Wii games, but if Nintendo picks up the fitness+fun idea, I'm all for it.

Because I hate walking on treadmills and riding ergobikes while staring at walls, and it's the main reason (boredom) why I won't do those.

And yes, I know I should go walk and ride bikes outside, but it's not that simple living in a city that not only rains a lot, but also is kinda dangerous to go walking around at night (which is when I have free time). #thesportsauthority

How to tell a sports retaier doesn't care about your fitness and just wants to sell worthless crap to housewives: They start to stock Wii Fit.

Wii Fit is pretty much worthless exercize-wise. It's a little pathetic that a sport/exercise store would push it like that. Kinda like if they started selling those fat jiggling machines you see in cartoons. #thesportsauthority
