That's disappointing. I was looking forward to buying Skyward Sword and even 'built' myself a Wii to play it...Oh well.

Any good game recommendations for the Wii?

There's also The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I'm still going to give Skyward Sword a chance once I have the $$ to buy it. I second Super Mario Galaxy also.

Get down to an EB or a GAME or whatever, get yourself some GameCube controllers, and get Smash Bros Brawl.

Oh and also grab some friends. Probably not from EB.

If anyone knows of someone who wants to buy a DSi XL, I'm selling mine on eBay.

I've ignored the Assassins Creed series thus far but have just read that one of the levels (?) takes place in King Solomon's Temple of Jerusalem. I find King Solomon to be a fascinating ruler and love the legend surrounding the temple and how it was built by demons under Solomon's rule.

For those who have played the game, is it worth it for this level? Any demonic references?

A friend told me that Twilight Princess was horrible. I take that you have a difference of opinion so do you mind telling me why you like it?

TP was horrible. Luckily the twilight hack was availabl at the time so it gave me a gateway to hack my wii.

I quite enjoyed Twilight Princess. The controls were ok, I wish they had allowed for normal controller use, but aside from that it was a decent Zelda romp.

Much better than Skyward Sword. Abomination that it is! Too much wrong in that game for me to like.

[KillinSpoon]

Whereas I liked SS, each to their own haha.

I've only played two Zelda games - Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. I wouldn't say the latter was a terrible game, but it wasn't a classic in the way that Wind Waker was (and is). That game really resonated with me in a way that few games do these days. And how can you not like those Korok fellas. Adorable!

EDIT: My Silent Hill replay is going well, I'm up to the Alchemelia Hospital now and am documenting the story in MS Word and taking screen captures as I go. Obsessive? Maybe, but it's fun all the same.

Started playing Dark Souls, time to kick some ass and chew some undead bones. And I'm all outta bones.
