I’ve had the Wii since it’s release here in the UK and for the last month I’ve hardly put it on even once. Wii Sports is the only game we play here when the box is on and that’s a pitty as there’s such potential with that machine. Nothing decent on the Virtual games either
.
Nintendo are missing the boat with no decent games out still. Looking forward to seeing Metriod and Mario but it’s still not the Mario Party games that we’re waiting for. Also come on lets get the internet gaming working surely.

Been playing games on X-Boxes, PCs, PDAs and Nintendo’s for years and I’ve never realized that the proper online games are actually killing the console market. With all the dedicated game consoles out there I thought that PC games had their days numbered. But it’s interesting that I have a Wii and a 360 here but I still playing BF2142 and WOW more than I do on the XBox.
Both those PC online games you have to play more and more to get further and make the game more interesting. That’s something that XBox Live doesn’t have that I’ve noticed. I know you get points for winning bits of games but what’s the point of that as you get nothing back. With WOW and BF2142 the more you play the more the game opens up. It makes the games last for months and months.
I wonder if there will be some proper online games like this on XBL or on the Wii one day ?

Watched The Illusionist the other day, bloody amazing. It was a superb story amazingly filmed all soft focus and back in time sort of thing. The actors and actresses where great holding up super accents, everything was perfect in it. Here’s hoping the writer director doesn’t get “hollywood’ed”.
Another amazing thing is that the reveal at the end was really not needed. The story held up perfectly without all the extra bits

The Vale Hotel a world-class resort with luxurious four star hotel. Well that’s what their website says !
Took the wife there for her 30th as a special treat. Stayed in one of their Executive Double rooms and it cost us £170 for the night. There’s one word to describe it “travel-inn”. That’s all the room was, a mega basic Travel Inn that wasn’t that tidy even. There’s no way in a million years I’d ever go back there again or even remotely recommend it. Gezzz any bed and breakfast would by luxury compared to that place.
A Travel Inn or Travel Lodge is much much better value.
