Am I the only one who doesn't think the wii is that original? They've been using that kind of technology in arcades for over a decade, they just made it into a smaller box...and almost all the games suck!

Postal games were fun for about 5 minutes...then they just get old. It's like a poor man's GTA.

Nothing original since Super Mario, OP? Come on now, there has been PLENTY of sweet games since then.

I'm partially with you on the NIntendo thing. The console as a whole is not that originally and if anything its behind the times in way to many aspects. The internet capabilties are garish the way you interface and use it. Far to complicated with the serial number approach for friending and shit,

The controllers ARE original and pretty cool for some things, and horid for others. I've spent years just trying to adjust to the damn analog sticks and a controler for 3d shooters on a console as is and now I have to try to use an even wierder controller? Meh, Mouse and keyboard will always be number 1, followed by a 360 controller.

The graphic engine is self explanatory. Outdated, underpowered, etc.

Nintendo has a lot of cool games, but far more shitty ones. Part of that is the target demographic of little kids and wholesome family fun they are aiming for, the other part is just plain crap which all sstems have.

Now, the one thing I love the wii for is having company over. Parties, etc. It is REALLY fun to play some silly as party game with your friends while getting hammered.

Mario Party 2 on dr00gz is fun. God I love the old days when every fucking game pwned.

Eternal Darkness SR: Horror games don't usually get to me, but this game is fucking scary. You play 12 different characters, in several very detailed time periods (Spanish Inquisition, World War II, Roman Era, etc), each of their stories tying into one huge, intricate plot. The voice acting is top notch and the storyline is one of the most original and compelling you'll find in any video game, on any system.




Oh yeah, Eternal Darkness was one of the best/scariest games I've ever played, especially the bathtub scene.
First time I played through that scene I was with my friend and it was something like 2 a.m. and we both jumped straight up.
The sanity meter was definitely one of the most innovative features I've encountered in a game, and I hope they make a second one.

its available for download on the PS3 store.

I ate some acid the other day and my roommate turned it on while I was passing by and ended up laughing and watching it for about an hour.

My friend downloaded this game on xbox live calledBraid.  It is pretty fucking crazy, you control time by walking forward or backwards and you have to complete puzzles by manipulating time.  Try it, its weird. Review

Two of the most original games i've played this year are Braid and Portal.

http://orange.half-life2.com/portal.html (though i'm sure most everyone knows of this game now?)
