Just to let anyone interested kno, Argos stores WILL be getting Wii's in 2moro Wed and Thurs in big amounts....around 50 to each store but it will be 1 per person!
Gamestop are also due to get a few in today.
I heard all the wii's in gamestop have been sold out before they reached the store?! thats madness! :p no wii for me this christmas now :( PS3 it is :( lool
Resident Evil will be fantastic for the Wii tho! more than acceptable graphics.
I heard there's a load of wii's available now and that it was all just a "con".
yeah, because playing the same damn world war 2 FPS, Soccer sim and need-for-speed XIV that you've been playing since 1999 except with hi-def graphics is exactly what most people want from video games.Quote:

Anyone who's got their hands on a console and wants some games for stocking fillers, heres my reviews:
Zelda - fantastic. will take you a good month at least to get through it, very interesting and challenging. Nintendo at its best.
Mario Strikers - good fun. Does for football, what Mario Kart did for racing. One of the only games my very anti-gaming girlfriend will willing play. online mode is good too once you find your feet.
Warioware - a little annoying that you have to complete most of the game before you unlock multiplayer, but take it in turns. Brilliant for making whoevers playing it feel like a right **** :D
Tiger Woods 2008 - good, a bit in depth for me but my father loves it. I particularly like the open ended challenge mode.
Wii Sports - the one most people will want to have a crack off first. Good fun in groups but once you've mastered each sport you'll have little reason to keep playing other than to take on your friends, who you are now far too good for :/ anyway, for a free game, its class.
we got 36 in the other day where i work in virgin megastore in sligo...only sold about 10 on the first day, think word got round though and there all gone now, not sure if we got more today because i was off....sure the price will drop straigt after xmas!
