Quick rant about video games, mainly about the Wii.
The Wii gets the short end in the 3rd party games department, the crappy games are cheap and stupid, but the good ones are wayyyyy too expensive and are usually epic, sure, there are a few gems in the cheap section, but still.
Another thing, why the hell are they watering down games or completely changing them for the Wii? Two good examples being the Avatar game and the War for Cybertron game. The normal Avatar game actually lets you choose your side and you'll probably have fun doing so, the Wii version, however, deadlocks you in the Avatar side, and a whole new storyline to boot! I'm not saying it's a bad game, it's a fairly good game, but I wanted to play the PC/360/PS3 versions, but my PC isn't capable at playing games without having at least a four lag to it, and I really don't wanna spend 199$ or 299$ for another system, I already have four.
Moving on, there's the ok change(Avatar for Wii) and the terrible version(War for Cybertron on the Wii), War for Cybertron for the Wii is a HUGE departure from the other versions, in the case that it blows. HARD. And it seems Activision likes screwing over Wii owners, we didn't get Modern Warfare until last year, and we got a terrible port of CoD3. Back on Topic, War for Cybertron on the Wii has less features for (to my knowledge) no apparent reason, I don't think because the Wii isn't a capable system, since it could work Modern Warfare and Twilight Princess fine, so it isn't that. It starts(from what I've heard) halfway through the war, and the controls suck. Look, the Wii does have controller ports, and there are games that let you choose to use it (Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and the upcoming Goldeneye remake supports it), why not just keep the game the way it was supposed to be and let someone use a controller, instead of using the motion controls, which didn't work in WfC.
I think I know why, the Wii has been marketed more toward families and kids. Which leads people to believe it's a kid's console. No, it isn't, it does have a trickle of adult games, like No More Heroes 1 and 2, Modern Warfare, Mortal Kombat, Red Steel 1 and 2, etc. It's sort of like the Console Wars way back, ya know, when the Genesis and Super Nintendo were duking it 0ut, when 16 bit was the thing back then. But whatever, I'm just a guy who's pissed cause I get screwed over on games cause I own a Wii.
