Overrated games!

Someone must be buying it on ebay.

[/QUOTE]

Okay, I've bought some really stupid stuff in the past, recently picking up 187 Ride or Die for $2 is a waste of money, but this ebay link is hilarious.

[/QUOTE]

I just checked that link, and decided to look up other Wii sports. It's going for around $40 even without the case. I'm considering selling mine now, but it's a tough decision to make because I love showing it off to non-gamers.

[QUOTE=Paul Campbell]Let me say once again that if Wii Sports had depth, I would be skipping through the "depth" with the + button to hurry and get to the game.  That kind of game needs no depth.  Did Tetris need depth?  Did Virtua Tennis have depth?  No.  They were fun.

 You like to play with your inlaws? Good for you. My inlaws have no interest and neither does my wife. Give me a break dude. As a pack in it is fine but people calling this the game of the year, please! 

[/QUOTE]

Give ME a break, dude.  You brought up inlaws, not me.  And I never said it was anything close to game of the year.  I am just trying to give it a little more credit than it is getting.  People keep knocking it because it lacks "depth" (whatever their definition of it is), and I think that it is a simple pick-up-and-play game that does not require "depth". 

And if you think it is only inlaws that enjoy a game like this, you are obviously in the minority. 

And my wife is hotter than your wife.

Dude, if you are into Wii Sports that's cool. I don't care. If you are into hanging out with your inlaws I guess that is cool too. I really don't care. And, if your wife is hotter then my wife then good for you b/c she must be smok'in.

Hey smart guy if you like it that is great. I find Wii Sports to be a bore. Boxing is a joke and the controls suck. Tennis is on rails. There are only 9 holes of Golf (and the controls suck). Baseball is lame (no career mode, no seasons, no official teams. Now I am not saying there isn't fun to be had. There is and if you enjoy games that offer extremely shallow gameplay then this is the game for you. You like to play with your inlaws? Good for you. My inlaws have no interest and neither does my wife. Give me a break dude. As a pack in it is fine but people calling this the game of the year, please! The only reason people are still playing Wii Sports four months later is b/c Nintendo hasn't released any other games worth playing. Don't worry, Metroid will be out this Summer.

It's just a stab, but I would guess there's not too many people wanting to play games with you at all... related or not. If you do have friends that come over, its probably the type of people that would steal money from you if you left it laying around.

It's just a stab, but you are an idiot. Seriously, a different opinion means somebody is a loser? Please. I have plenty of friends, a hot wife and I make good money. I guess the only thing that makes me a loser is posting on this site. Maybe I should give that up.

[/QUOTE]

 

Damn Shawn, if you quit posting on this site you will be all alone in the world. Please don't do that. The next step is transgender porn watching, self mutilation, then you'll join a Christian rock band.

 

"Hey guys, my band just opened for Skillet."

"That's nice, Shawn. Hey fries are done, do you mind getting back to work?"

 

Is it just me or are the fanbots of Sony and Microsoft like:

 "FPS are real awesome games, dudes. You guys who own Nintendos all like baby games and wipe your butts with gay toliet paper from gay town."

 

Then somebody will post "I kinda like Wii Sports" and then they will be all like:

"What an idiot you are! I'm so cool! My wife has huge boobs and strippers hand me money as soon as I walk into my business offices where I own and sell skateboards that hover to Asian kids. You guys all suck."

 

Then somebody will be like: "I can't wait to play Donkey Kong Bongo Blast" And then somebody will be all up ons like:

"Donkey Kong is a big pedophile. Master Chief would eat his face and The guy from God of War would rip his head off and spit blood and vaginas into the hole that remained!"

 

I mean lord, I get it. You guys hate Nintendo games. But this is every post I see. Some generic thread will be named: "I enjoy video games. Do you? Let's talk about fun topics about Video Games" and by the third page someone is calling someone an idiot because they had fun playing Cooking Mama. Please debate with some class and intellegence and lets talk about fun sh*t. Instead of saying Wii Sports sucks, say "I prefer game X because..." I would like some education from you guys. We all play different games. Tell us about some positives and negatives with these games so we'll know what to look for. I mean if this site was so Nintendo heavy, The Sonic and the Secret Rings post would be ablaze with orgasmic reviews. But look at that thread. It's got me to where I will really have to wait on that game to drop in price or I may rent it. Oh wait, I don't even have a Wii yet...

Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader was definitely overrated. It's a tad fun, but it's so @#$%ing frustrating!

What's wrong with Christian Rock? I'm a fan of it myself.
