Oblivion remains king, then.

Incidentally, I was looking around Amazon, to see if they had stock numbers up somewhere and stumbled upon this. Apparently, the top 3 best-sellers in the "Computer & Video Games" category are:

1. WoW
2. Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
3. Wii

Curious.

Yet it now shows the wii nowhere in the top 25 - in fact, it's #50, now. It must have been briefly up there due to recent sales (these numbers are updated hourly apparently).

I'd partially question their numbers, also. In many industries, "best sellers" is a marketing tool and does not reflect actual sales, if it's provided by the vendor and not by a trade publication (and in fact many semi-trade publications do not offer true bestseller lists, either)...

... of what? Oblivion was great until I got over the graphics and realized the combat was a piece of ****.

The backstory stuff rocks though (books, etc.) `

Oblivion is a totally different kind of game from Zelda, so I don't see why you bother to bring it up, or act as if it is superior.

I never really got into Oblivion as much as I did with Morrowind, not sure why. Bit of a let down, I had high hopes for it.

renting elebits for the long weekend..

Pretty fun little game. really dries my eyes out due to focusing for the timelimits, I forget to blink. You are trying to catchthese little elebits with this gun. as you catch more and more, your gun increases in strength, and you can lift heavier objects., and the more you catch, the more electronic stuff gets power back.

If you want to fantasize about SW Force using the wiimote, then check this one out. Virtually everything in the rooms can be picked up and moved (thrown around, really) depending on how strong your gun is. I think someone posted before in another thread that this sort of thing (everything interactive) woudl be impossible on the Wii, but this game would prove otherwise.

Remember Asher is an X360 player ... for a reason ...

This struck me as a definite 'rent, don't buy' game, but I look forward to hearing what you think after you finish playing.

Hmm...I found the combat provided a lot more variety than the combat I'd encountered in any Zelda game.

A curious point you raise.

Asher, have you picked up a wii yet?

Started Zelda now that I'm back from vacation.

Spoiler:

After Midna grabs the Fused Shadow I give it even odds he's Ganondorf. We'll see.

let down of the decade imho, and puts it into perspective when it is one of the main reasons to have a 360. Such a missed opportunity to make a true masterpiece of a TES - sold out. sucks.

Why would you want him to pick up something he clearly hates?

Comedy value?

Not sure why it's funny...combat's even more simple and unrewarding in Zelda than it is in Oblivion or Morrowind.

The fact that I put in over 120 hours now into Oblivion and still pick it up from time to time is a testament to it being a good game. It's a much more cohesive world than Hyrule, Hyrule still feels level-based.
