I think SSBB is Wii-only, but what about the JPRG you reviewed (Lost Odyssey)?

@1: This seems as good a place to do so as any, though I've held off doing so because having to explain the absurdity of the "friend code" system to everyone else would probably make Slog readership drop by the hundreds. My Smash Bros code is 5241-1527-6245.

When Ian gets SSBB we'll see if we can friend you - I'm not into it, but he and his friends are.

I'll reload this thread in 16 or so hours and add all the SSBB friend codes listed here.

if you liked gow, you'll kind of like a02. the gameplay is a little more fluid in the sense that you don't stick to walls (i hate that). Instead, you slide into cover and can get out of cover just by walking away, not by pushing the magic "unstick me from this wall" button.

The weapons in a02 are pretty boring, in that there isn't a really big difference between them. the difference between an mp5 and a saw in cod4 is way bigger than in a02.

multiplayer pretty much blows.

i've never liked 3rd person so ao2 still pales in comparison to the gameplay of cod4. which rules all fps on the console.

but at the same time, it wasn't an _unpleasant_ experience. I played through it 1.5 times, but i haven't played it since that initial weekend and doubt i will again. so. like i said. filler game.

I feel bad for people that have only played an FPS on a console since they probably don't realize how laughably ineffective it is to aim with an analog joystick.

@13 - i couldn't get into rsv, but may rent rsv2. as to your second point, cod4 is the closest to cs:source the console has. and while I agree, for some reason I enjoy playing on a console more.
