Nintendo Wii

Anyone manage to get Guitar Hero 3? I got the last copy from Wal-mart on Sunday and it absolutely kicks ass. I can't believe how addicting it can get and it has some pretty cool tunes on it too. So far I made it to Japan and am kind of stuck on the Slayer tune "Reign in Blood". I've only tried it twice but it's pretty tricky.

Also, Simpsons is out today and is supposed to be pretty awesome with writers from the show working on the game. It's also supposed to be less repetitive than other comedy type games that have come out before.

Next week is the Star Wars Lego Legacy or something which is fun as hell. I played the first two and this one is basically those two combined with new levels and characters as well.

Mario Kart in January should be a good one too.

Any other games coming out soon you're looking forward to?

I looked at Rock Band, the song list for that game looks amazing as well.

I'm looking forward to Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and Smash Brothers Brawl

Those games should be a lot of fun for good ol' drunken multiplayer with friends.

Okami is coming out for Wii next spring, which is wicked because I've been searching for a copy of the PS2 one for a while now, but with no avail. It'll be an exact port of the PS2 one which if fine by me because I've never played the original. Plus the Wiimote seems to make perfect sense as the brush rather than the dual analog controls.

I may also go out and buy Mercury Meltdown, since it got a good rating at Gamespot, and is only $20. Zak and Wiki also got a good review, and is only $40 I think. I don't think I can bring myself to buy it though.

Other games being released soon that look like they have merit:
RE4: Umbrella Chronicles
Ghost Squad (on the rails shooter)
Medal of Honor Heroes (32-person online multiplayer, no friend codes required!)
Mario Galaxy
Manhunt 2

Anyone who likes adventure and/or puzzler games will really like Zack & Wiki.

Very good game.

ONly three more weeks until Super Mario Galaxy is released
