Ashley Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Anyone is welcome to use this of course, but for now - me. I have £35 on a giftcard at work and want to spend. Im getting Zack and Wiki for my birthday (as by then I'll have quit work and have more time ot play) before anyone suggests. Here's my ideas: Ghost Squad + zapper Trauma Centre Tomb Raider Nights Red Steel + Wii Points (as I need some for 1080) Dewey's Adventure And im sure there was something else I was going to get but can't remember...but im open for suggestions (but am too lazy to type what games I do have at the moment). Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 i thought you worked in game. I thought that would mean you get a free rental service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I'm going to suggest Red Steel + 1080.. basically because 1080 remains one of my favourite games ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Nights. It's a love/hate game though, so if you didn't like the original, I'd go for Trauma Center maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzeL Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I've been thinking about Trauma Center for ages. I decided to wait for New Blood to come out over here though - the online leaderboards for it make a real difference to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iun Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 DO NOT get Ghost Squad. It's an incredibly short game. Get Nights or Red Steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the great Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 id recomend red steel, when its good its very good, but its not perfect. like the look of tomb raider myself. heatseeker is great, after the slow start it gets very good. personaly, id wait for no more heros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (as I need some for 1080) 1080 coming out on VC!? Are you B$hitting me? When will that gem come out? If/when that comes out, I will get my Wii back. EDIT:...This is what happens when you don't check out the actual N-Europe site. :/...But thats fantastic news.

Hellfire Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 DO NOT get Ghost Squad. It's an incredibly short game. It's a lightgun game, what were you expecting? It's also supposed to be half price... supposed. It's a very fun game if you like the genre, but others have priority over it yeah :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Temporary theft granted but theft all the same) id recomend red steel, when its good its very good, but its not perfect. like the look of tomb raider myself. heatseeker is great, after the slow start it gets very good. personaly, id wait for no more heros Im getting NMH too, but I want a filler.

S.C.G Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 As previously mentioned, I would go with NiGHTS if you liked / loved the original (got a review copy on the way so if it arrives today I'll try and post some insight on the game in here if I can) Other than that, I'm currently playing through Tomb Raider, the 360 version though but if your not bothered about achievements (I half like / half hate them) then yeah get the Wii version as it supposedly has slightly expanded gameplay too which is awesome.

Cube Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Tomb Raider You could get this at Argos for £20 (or with another game such as Eledees for £30) and some Wii Points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 You could get this at Argos for £20 (or with another game such as Eledees for £30) and some Wii Points. Well I did say I had a £35 game gift voucher.... But for £20 I'd get it, but the nearest store is missions away. I'll ask the guy I know who works in the local Argos if he can give me a heads up when they get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-project Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Tomb Raider has turned out excellent on Wii I have to say. Really well done, and nicely implemented controls. On the other hand, while I utterly adored the original NiGHTS on Saturn, I'm left a bit upset by the Wii sequel. Rushed and rough, with only snippets of what made the first game great, and mired in awful cutscenes with naff scripting and voice acting. Try before you buy if you can. On Wii that isn't so easy though is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I would say go for NiGHTS or Ghost Squad. NiGHTS is something a bit different and not just because its had Wii-Mote controls tacked on like so many other games. Ghost Squad is short but a lot of fun with plenty to go back and do again. With either I don't think you'll go too far wrong and your getting something that you won't see on PS3 or 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Wii Chess? Also, can you get Ghost Squad + zapper? I didn't know that. As for what you should buy, toss a coin and get either Trauma Centre or Tomb Raider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiGHTS is something a bit different and not just because its had Wii-Mote controls tacked on like so many other games. Sorry I totally disagree with this. The Wii remote has simply not been used to any great advantage in this game at all. I'm having to go out and buy a GC pad to get the best from this game, because the remote implementation is so poor. Even the nunchuck+remote setup is useless, since it's near-impossible to pull of stunts consistently and comfortably. At least the Tomb Raider team implemented the Wii controls to some useful and intelligent level. In NiGHTS, the promise was there, but Sonic Team have totally botched it. Sad but true.

Will Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Sorry, I didn't mean a bit different because of the Wii-Mote controls, just that its the type of game your not going to get anywhere else. To be fair the game was developed to use the Cube pad rather than the remote, and I agree with you, the wii-mote controls don't do the game justice at all. From that point of view I suppose it has got tacked on controls - I just think it has that little something else that means it doesn't really matter.

Especially considering the Wii Remote was the sole reason for making the game in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Trauma Centre by a country mile. I've got it and it's a fantastic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Wii Chess? Also, can you get Ghost Squad + zapper? I didn't know that. As two seperate items. Gonna head to town tomorrow and just go with the flow. Thanks everyone. Think I'll get Tomb Raider at Argos for £20 when its back in stock. Perhaps Trauma Centre tomorrow but we'll see.

darksnowman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Can you now buy it on its own or do you mean with Linky's Crossbow Training too? If so, then get that cos it would be two games + zapper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I would have bought it for £30, Gameware zapper for £5 (when bought with) and Link's off a friend for £10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hmm, that tangled combo sounds pretty good to me cos Linky is a decent enough game. Also, what about the possibility of getting Endless Ocean? Its only got an RRP of 20squids so you could find something to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I got Endless Ocean when it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
