Jacob Kreed you dont know what ur talkin about. wii play sucks. Wii sports is good despite an annoying wii console controls.

Woah now hold on there. I actually think Revenge of the Sith was actually a decent game. Trust me, it's not the worst movie tie in, as evidenced by another entry on your list.

I don't own any of these, but still own Diddy Kong Racing on the N64. Not a bad game at all...

...But it makes you repeat that game backwards after you think you've fucking finished it.

Corsair89, what you call "ignorant casual gamers" are people who simply enjoy casual games. There's no need to hate them. Don't be an elitist.

Just to add on to what I said earlier about Revenge of the Sith, think of it this way. At least it's not The Force Unleashed.

yay Only own Pokemon mysterie dungeon blue it was ok I got like half way through the game and then got bored and havent played since I thought that FFVII virge of cerabrus was pretty good although I didnt think it had a whole lot to do with the seriese it was cool that you could customize your gun for any situation ie. sniper rifle, machine gun, grenade launcher, high caliber pistol etc. also diddy kong racing WAS FREAKING AWSOME FOR THE 64 I still play it from time to time man that game was one of the best games when I was growing up with the N64 although I agree the DS version is probably crap I also though mario kart for the wii was horrible as well it takes hours to get used to the steering.

@kytano_skorpius STFU was one of the best star wars games ever STFU (Starwars the force unleashed) for those of you who dont know starwars is one title/word so you dont say SW and "the" never appears in acronyms. So even though alot of people disagree if your going to say an acronym to say a games name U say STFU for "starwars the force unleashed". But I digress STARWARS THE FORCE UNLEASHED WAS AWSOME.

i only have revenge of the sith of these, picked it out of a bargain (or was it garbage?) bin for aprox 5 quid.

i also have dirge of cerberus, but a friend gave it to me, so i wouldnt say it counts.
zer0_cool16  - 10 months 7 days ago 
I guess Dirge wasn't for everyone but I honestly liked it!

And this is why they keep moving crappy tie-ins to movies. We must take a stand now.

If you are so desperate to play a movie tie-in, please rent and not buy. That way sale numbers won't encourage this type of development.

The whole reason wii play was on the list is because it comes with a wiimote. So the game itself only costs $10. Out of all the games in wii play, i only enjoyed billiards and tanks. So yeah, i got my moneys worth i think.

I'm pretty sure the only reason Fantastic Four made the list was because BestBuy and Futureshop were giving it away free with every Halo 3 pre-order. I traded mine in at EB Games for my next game purchase.

Damn it. I had 12 of these. GR Fifa Street 1 was actually quite good in my opinion

ugh, my aunt bought me mario party 8 for christmas last year. i played it once and i think it's lost now. i don't really care. i can't really blame her, she doesn't know any better, but my cousin should have stepped in and said something. he's one of the people that got me playing.

wii play wasn't that great of a game, but you did get your moneys worth. it was the only way you could get a wii-mote back then, they were all sold out.

as for mario and sonic olympics, my friend bought it. we spent a good while playing it and had great fun but it hasn't seen any action in a while.


why do these people buy such unenjoyable games? because they enjoy them. different strokes for different folks. i remember rugrats treasure hunt being my favourite game when i was 4, now i realise it was shite, but i still have fond memories of it. and my dad did snap me out of it fairly quickly with LoZ OoT.
