I want COD 3 for my PSP.. I still remember the days of dialing up on a modem to play Doom with friends and having lan parties playing duke, wheeee!

Now all I play is an old version of DOD.

You owned one? Awesome, I had to pump in the quarters.

Nothing like the old modem strings trying to hook up with your buddy

Anybody that used to play Duke Nukem? that was a riot.
Now it's Gears of War and Call of Duty3 on 360.

Gears of war, i just purchased that today, hopefully it will be fun.

Anyone play the game "Snafu" on the Intellevision? :razz:

Do you all think the Wii will be too much in the sense that your going to have to wave your hands around all the time? Or do you think they show commercials like that and what not for dramatization? I couldn't imagine sitting around with some friends waving my arms around like a big goof. Surely it's not like that, and you would be able just to use hand motions.

That's the one thing I'm having truobles deciding on.

tough to say... i wonder if you can controll some "regular" styles as well?

Im pretty sure you can just use hand motions, i think they over dramatize the commercials, although for some games you might need a little more movement, tennis for example.

OCDP 11-20-2006 07:42 PM

Yeah, it would be interesting to know how sensitive the controllers are, or if you can control the sensitivity. Also, it'd be nice if there were a feature to just use a controller, but that takes away all that makes "Wii" I suppose.

The commericals are way too over the top, it's too hard to get an idea of how the controllers work. I seen a couple actual videos of people using it and one guy was playing NFS , and just moving his hands and that's it.. no waving the arms around and so on...

I guess we will have to wait and see when someone gets one. Also did you know the PS3 has the same motion sensitivity as the Wii's controlers.

well its not quite the same, it can only sense tilts, not movement... as far as i know anyways...
