    On all the menus !

    What about your Mii .

    as i said it was just my first impressions of the console. And i also said that once i get the right games for it it will be good. Just because its aimed at kids doesnt make it bad. Sweets are aimed at kids too and there great.

    Yip but in early gaming cartoony characters where easier to do and games where aimed at kids . It just now those kids are 30 and have matured to want more from there games. Xbox and sony have decided to go for that market and release high powered more adult aimed machines Nintendo have gone for the younger pick up and play kids market. Doesnt mean there isnt and cant be a cross over between the 2.

    2 poor games that won't get the best outta your wii.

    Buy Resident Evil 4. You won't be dissapointed at all.

    No, it won't. They're €20 for a reason, two of the worst games on the system. You'd have gotten much more out of using that €40 for a decent game. If cheap games is what you want, pick up some gamecube ones as they are decent quality and usually under a tenner.

    Spent 315 on it yesterday so didnt have much to spend today i had resi 4 on PS2 so ive played that but i think it will be my next purchase . Played red steel its ok better use of the controller but my arm is killing me holding it out like that all the time. just wanted to get a few games give it a good go.

    Splinter cell is class on PS3 thats why i got it it was the only other one at that price , still 20 euro isnt much i can trade both in in xtra vision and get a new game for very little then once im bored of them.

    What are the top games i need so ?

    Well it depends. Are we trying to keep as close to your "serious gaming" tastes as possible.

    Games you shouldnt miss:
    Zelda
    Guitar Hero
    Mario Kart
    Super Mario Galaxy (got an 11/10 from one reviewer)
    Resident Evil

    Games other people have said are class but that I havent tried:
    Pro Evolution
    Okami
    No More Heroes
    Super Smash Bros

    And of course the massive back-catalogue of downloadable games.

    Yes, there are 3 mario-related games on this list; I honestly can't believe anyone would consider themselves "too old" to play a Mario title though, unless its something like Mario Tennis or Mario Goes to the Olympics. Super Paper Mario also felt a bit like a kids version of Zelda, but not overly so. Also, you get to snap jigglypuff's neck with Solid Snake in SSB.

    They cant be considered hardcore then.

    Wii is excellent most of the games posted above are well worth getting, 2 more odd ones kinda hardcore are Zack and Wiki and No More Heroes.

    I would recommend a purchase of a Wii anyday. I have Tiger Woods and PDC Darts for mine and both games are great and offer of plenty of playing time with fantastic graphics in both.
    LESS OF THE BULL NOW!

    My dad loves it. It gets really rewarding when you can do what you want to do, most of the time. Strategy comes into play.

    Umbrella chronicles is a shooter in the mould of virtua cop or house of the dead. Supposedly it is the best in that genre but I've never been much of a fan of 'lightgun' games. I'd go for RE4.

    As a Mario Kart fan from the N64 days, I played it on the Wii last night and thought it was good enough craic. A little hard to get used to at first but good all the same.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    Can be a bit of crack with a few but when you're alone doing a career mode it can be poor and quite repetitive. Graphics look like they have come straight from the Sega.
