Wii is the best!!!
the wii is the best
I got a PS3 80-gig for Christmas, and as far as I am concerned, it is the best game system so far. The best game for it would have to be Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. The game starts out with combat, which is a major part of the gameplay. A small part is puzzle solving and death-defying stealth stunts. Anyway, back to combat. The aiming technique is over-the-shoulder camera, for guns, and there is a major role of close-combat, a.k.a. melee, in case someone gets too close for comfort. Which is any distance within a 200-mile radius. Sniper rifles, machine guns, pistols, and, my favorite, the Panzershreik. A.k.a, the rocket (or grenade) launcher. Those are just tips and a small taste of the game. Of course, you have to be fearless. Because there are monsters that look like zombies. Not Resident: Evil, but pretty close.
We just got the wii sports. the games that came with it are boring. what can we play on it that is cool? I’m used to pc gaming – UT Serious Sam and the like…. I also like old style arcade games like joust
