I found out 3 hours ago that my local game store just got its new shipment of wii's in. I decided to go in and buy one, My brother was working there today so I went and asked him if he could get me 5 or 6 games for my wii and a bunch of extras like the silicon things you put on your wii remote and loads of other things too. I had to buy the wii but all the games and all the accessories were free. Its not as powerful as my ps3 but my wii is more family fun but I just wish there was more adult games for the wii. Medal of honor 2 is coming out soon so that will be good to have.

Get Super Mario Galaxy. It's the best game I've played on this side of Y2K. No shit.

The silicon things you put on your wii remote are free from Nintendo.

Medal of Honour (why do they spell this wrong?) is rubbish now. Try Call of Duty 4.

Medal of Honour (why do they spell this wrong?) is rubbish now. Try Call of Duty 4.

"Honor" is American spelling. Call of Duty 4 isn't available for Wii, and to be honest I'd doubt you'd want to play a watered down for Wii version of it even if it were.

Medal of Honor 2 is very, very conventional as far as WWII shooters go, but the controls are good, so you could probably get it if you don't mind doing something you've done a million times before.

This guy just said he has a PS3. Call of Duty 4 is available for PS3.

Hes not asking about what games he wants for his PS3. I dont see why i should have had to say that.

Chances are he already has CoD4, anyway.

Lol, "honor" is American English, more widespread.

Medal of Honor might be rubbish now because of Airborne, even though that was still good, but he should at least rent it to try. I mean, you can't assume a game's terrible before playing it.

I think a more important question to ask is where Nintendo magically got all of this stock to send to the United Kingdom. My Wii came from Amazon the other day and suddenly, right before Christmas it's actually possible to get a console and it's still at maximum hype.

And please, we've done the WW2 thing enough times already. It's actually feeling older than the Tony Hawk series now and that's really pushing the limits of what's acceptable in terms of recycling.

What lots of people who buy Nintendo consoles these days don't realise is that there is basically one publisher that puts effort into their games and all the others just port rubbish. That publisher worth looking at is Nintendo and you'll do well by trying Mario Galaxy and next year get your hands on Wii Fit, Super Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Kart. It's a struggle finding ANY third party games for a Nintendo console worth playing at all. I think on my Gamecube I had maybe two or three that were good and there were no third party exclusives worth playing (except maybe Sonic Adventure 2 but that was on Dreamcast too).

If you're a Wii owner, you have to admit there's not exactly an abundance of solid Wii games on the market. No room for pickiness here, Neil.

I will get my brother to bring a copy of super mario galaxy so we can try it out. I can never spell honour when I am typing fast, just one of those things I can't do so I just type honor instead, much easier for me. My brother has been bringing loads of stuff home all day for the wii, I think we have one copy of almost every game in the store for the wii and all the accessories now. There is probaly well over £1000 worth of wii goodiness all over my bedroom now.

That's interesting that you got so many free games and accessories.

The Shy Child.
12-23-2007, 05:14 PM
Yeah my brother works at the local game store so he can get pretty much anyhting for free, The thing most people don't relize is that game stores have hundreds of stock of the games and accessories but little stock of the actual console and they need to get rid of most of the games anyway so they don't even notice if you take a big bunch of games so it's really helping the store out in a way.

Someone buy me a Wii. D:

12-23-2007, 05:44 PM
OMG, my brother has now started bringing in games and accessories for our PS3. There is well over £2500 of ps3 and wii stuff in my bedroom.

Isn't that just stealing?

The Shy Child.
12-23-2007, 05:55 PM
Well, yes and no becuase if you had the chance to take loads of games and accessories foryour console and nobody would even notice, wouldn't you take the chance to do it.

Fry
12-23-2007, 05:59 PM
Doesn't change the fact that it's stealing....Ohh and i lol'd when you said "it's kinda helping them out". Yeah stealing there profit is helping them out, I think it's helping you out and thats all.

Yeah, your right. I am just gonna take all these games back into the store tommorow on xmas eve and my brother would lose his job and get charged with theft. You are not so innocent too becuase you have probaly got an ipod and you may have limewire or something like that where you download songs for free, that is stealing. You may have copied a thew dvds onto your laptop or whatever, thats stealing in a way but you didn't care because you knew you were never gonna get caught, well this is the same thing.

Olin
12-23-2007, 06:45 PM
I'll steal your mom.

But seriously that is just wrong. I don't know what kind of fish slapped you in your face, but you are an awful person for doing what you did. You are a criminal and I hope you go to jail.

Texas jail.

You wouldn't be saying that if you were the one getting all the free stuff, now would you.

LOZ rules. Galaxy rules. Wii Sports rules. NFS Carbon was pretty fun but I cba to complete it. Resident Evil Chronicals is a good rent. Star Wars Lego rules. Cooking Mama Rules. Warioware is Godlike. Big Brain Academy is Godlike.

Stop slagging him for getting stuff for free, you'd all do the same, and you all most likely download music anyway we're all the same.

You must like your goverment and what your goverment gives you. On the other hand all my goverment gives me is shitty broadband thats slow as hell and taxes for my birthday and xmas, so now it is my turn getting things for free and getting what I want, when I want, for no price. I am basiclly doing the people in my local area a favour., for example, my store doesnt get new san andreas stock in until they start runnin out of the old stock so I am just taking the old stock away for no price. Think about it. I know its classified as illegal but everyone breaks rules and laws during their life. You are a gamer and you either have xbox live or playstation network and you probaly have swore at people sometimes and called them names, thats breaking the rules. I just go a little bit further. I also help people out too, for nothing. Parents that want games and accessories for their children at xmas but can get it becuase the game stores say they have no stock, its a lie so that when they say they do have stock, more people will buy the games and consoles and that they can make more money. I don't just do it for myslef you know, I am not that selfish.

Actually I just have come up with a plan to make money and give the store back there games and accessories. My store does a return a game and make money , what If every couple of weeks take a thew games and accessories in, that way, they still are getting their stock back but they are giving me money for it. I am a criminal mastermind.

You just wrecked me sticking up for you by bringing the government into it. When the government had nothing to do with it.


But yeah when Super Smash comes out the Wii will rule so hard.

D'you feel guilty for pirating music? It's illegal, and if justice should be served, you and 99% of this forum would find themselves in a civil suit and/or jail.

I'm not supporting stealing, but it's a bit hypocritical to criticize something you yourself do.

Sorry about the goverment thing but it really hasn't given me anything good. Like BT Yahoo, for example was supposed to be giving me fast broadband, it didn,t give me even slow broadband. I use a free faster browser called firefox. They tax everything here, They were actually thinking of taxing chewing gum because people are spitting it out onto the street. I dont vote, because I am not old enough but if I was old enough, I still wouldn't vote, I am not into politics or patriotic values, I am into getting the best things in life for the cheapest price. Hollywood stars are the same except they dont worry about the price part of life.

Thanks Slim Trashman, I love Wii Sports and Wii Play, I like bowling best because its the most fun and inntuitive to play. Me and my brother have been messing around around with tiger woods for the past half hour and I have never had so much fun on a console in my life. The Wii is a great console to play if you want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of games like call of duty 4 or medal of honour (I finaly spelt it right, yay) airborne. I heard that it has a opera web browser but how and where do you get it.

Slim Trashman
12-24-2007, 12:15 AM
Oh man bowling is the best (btw you didn't spell it right :P)

A few weeks ago I was on the 2nd part of the 12th frame with all strikes, and I missed the strike, just BARELY MISSED A PERFECT GAME. I was sad :(

Nah you had the "u" in the there. Correct: Medal of Honor | Incorrect: Medal of Honour ;)

Anyways, have you tried boxing yet? Hehe, first time we tried that when we got the Wii it like physically killed me :P

The Shy Child.
12-24-2007, 12:44 AM
My wrist elbow and shoulder are all messed up and I accidently threw the wiimote at the wall, thank god that my brother brung home a bunch of silicon wiimote casings. I hate boxing, its too hard and I was complety drained of energy after I finished playing boxing, I fell asleep for a couple of hours straight after that. It is good exercise but its more of a chore when your arm is complety numb from playing baseball.

@ TheShyChild: Man,Chill out, I wasn't having a go at you for stealing i just thought it was funny that you tried to justify stealing games by saying "it's not really stealing" and "it's probably helping them out". Truth be told i'd preobably take the games too if my brother stole them for me, But i personally wouldn't risk my job and steal from the place where i work.

Man.... Medal of Honor is the spelling of the game, but if you live in Scotland as TSC does, the word is spelt honour hence this pointless debarcle.
I'd feel guilty like any normal American.

Justice should be served.
The Shy Child isn't American (is he?)... and why not say 'person' anyway?

12-24-2007, 06:27 AM
Medal Of Honor: Heroes, I think that's it's full name has better FPS controls than Metroid Prime, Sure it's a average FPS, But the precision is spot on. So as longas they keep the controls and only fiddle with the Ai, Story etc it should be a awesome game. But yeah, You're a criminal :P

The Shy Child.
12-24-2007, 06:45 AM
Nah, I am not American, I am Scottish so I should spell it like honour but honor is easier for me when I am speed typing. Thanks Fry, I do recomend to everyone that you should get a job at a gaming store for a year, here is why, Say My brother steals 25 copies of a £40,00 game or what ever the price of a brand new game is in america at your local gaming store. you sell them at a good price like £35,00 or whatever on the internet. If you sell them all in a week, and you should sell them all in a week, You would make £875,00 and say you do that with every week of the year, you should come out with £45,500 but because me and my brother are in it we have to split it down the middle so we both get £22,750. Now, this got me thinking, I will never be poor again. Me and my brother are working out this plan and knocking out the kinks of it and we are gonna start the very first week of 2008. In the end of 2008 I will be 15 and I shall have a salary that people go to an interview for.
