A bit of gaming overload AndyB?


Anyways, Santa was very nice & brought me Scene It (Movie quiz) & Lego Batman. Haven't tried either yet, but looking forward to both of them.


I got myself Call of Duty 5 just before Christmas & it's good fun as well. The multiplayer side is great.


On a different note, has anyone on here ever payed any of the X games? They're, different. Not for everybody, but if you like empire building in space they can be great fun, if a bit slow.

Well, I got Resistance 2 and Mirrors Edge for my birthday- 20th of December. I ffnished Resistance 2 yesterday and started on Far Cry 2. Is it just me or are games getting shorter? I rememebr taking weeks to play the fisrt Tomb Raider.

I played a bit of LBP, made me laugh, I love it!

Can't seem to get the voice activation of Endwar to work properly.

Santa was very generous this Christmas and endowed the ed_pete offspring with a Wii. As there seem to be a number of fellow Wii owners in here I thought I pose a question: I'm going to connect it to the internet and given the choice, is there much difference in performance between a wired and wireless connection ? I plan to download the browser app so I can use it to access the EDF from my Wii. Is wired best for web access or would the wireless performance be OK ? (It's OK on laptops in the house). Would online gaming (assuming we get that far) be better wired or wireless ?

All advice gratefully received.

My wireless setup is faaar from optimised (it's an old Freeserve/Wanadoo/Orange Livebox) but certainly for anything Wii related it's fine. I only use the browser on the Wii for iPlayer catchups - for general text browsing the resolutions is too small for my taste. Gaming-wise I haven't noticed any undue lag with the wireless connection


When I need more robust speeds (streaming HD content to the 360 say) I tend to use wired connections - all else seems fine

After several emd of year round ups named it as one of teh best games you won't have played, I stumped up 1500 Wii points to download World of Goo... and fantastic it is too. Bags of charm and plenty of "oooh I know WHAT to do but it's going to take me a while to figure out just HOW to do it" - very reminiscent of that feeling one had playing Lemmings for the first time


Lady MacGabhann has also taken a shine to it so it had pretty broad appeal. So go download it


Doooo eeeeeeet

Really must sort it out and get my Wii online. You can download some old school NES games too, and I want Super Mario 2, classic! (the one where you could be Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad, and Peach could hover, making her easiy the best character).


Had the Wii round at my sister's place on Saturday night for a little game night (I kick ass at Articulate by the way), just with Wii Sports and Mario Kart, think I sold a couple of Wiis for Nintendo!

those are the games to do it alright... just wish there were more like them


Some of the classics on the virtual console for the wii are ropier than you possibly remember, and the download mechanism is enough to drive me to... well I'm already there. But there is some good original stuff coming out on the wiiware channel for sure


browsing the EDF on a wii remains a guilty pleasure as well!

It's an age old debate - gameplay v realism. I've been gaming since 82 or so and can honestly say I haven't had as much fun as I have had since the 360 came out (caveat: idiot count online at XBOX live is too high and some of the blockbuster games of today are aimed at them. But when we have had Braid, REZ HD and others to delight in recent months, we can't complain either)

I used to go to SPACE CITY in West Croydon every Friday with a ?20 note and the odd visit to the Arcade in Camberwell, they were the days. Defender Galaxian Gorph BattleZone SpaceInvaders and Misile Command, I remember closing my eyes and seing the games still playing in my head.............

Well I got the Orange Box a couple of weeks ago. Who gives my better half all the good suggestions? Thank you, who ever you are!


Just started getting into it & enjoying it. Played most of HL2 on the PC, but quite happy to start that again. Started portal last night & it's good. Different, but I like the puzzles so far. Also looking forward to trying TF2.

    • Labour was right not to increase fuel duty - it's not just motorists it affects, but goods transport. Fuel goes up, inflation goes up. Inflation will go up now anyway, and growth will stagnate, because businesses will pass the employee NIC hikes onto customers.  I think farms should be exempt from the 20% IHT. I don't know any rich famers, only ones who work their fingers to the bone. But it's in their blood and taking that, often multi-generation, legacy out of the family is heart-breaking. Many work to such low yields, and yet they'll often still bring a lamb to the vet, even if the fees are more than the lamb's life (or death) is worth. Food security should be made a top priority in this country. And, even tho the tax is only for farms over £1m, that's probably not much when you add it all up. I think every incentive should be given to young people who want to take up the mantle.
