1. Mario - being the reason why I got the game - was a huge let down, Wind Waker looks and plays amazing but I hate the sailing, Resi games - the first two were amazing but I never liked the genre, playing shooters felt a bit odd. Resi4 and Killer7 were amazing - but the Wii edition puts it into shade. So was Tetris - but then again - what is to be expected from what I consider to be the greatest game of all time.
2. Yep, none of my friends do console games. Well, they actually do very few games AT ALL. Despite me getting the Wario mini games and Donkey Konga - which got their attention for exactly 2 minutes and then they were bored by it again.
Computer (or outside) games nation FTL I guess.
