Redheads are the greatest. Followed by brunettes.

IGN Wii: The Wii has been described as more powerful than the original Xbox, but not as powerful as Xbox 360. What type of visuals can we expect from the Wii version of Far Cry?
Fabrice Cuny: Overall the Wii is more powerful than an Xbox, even if the Xbox can do some stuff that the Wii can't. But remember the Wii is more focused on its unique gameplay using the Wii controller and not on power. We can expect a game as beautiful as what we used to see on Xbox.

This sounds like PR speak for, "No, it really isn't any more powerful than the Xbox."

So do you guys think you'll have to camp out like a nerd to get this at launch, or will it be as simple as walking into the store and grabbing one off the shelf?

Thosepictures of people holding controllers and playing together remind me of early videogame boxes


Ever notice later game boxes (Like SNES and beyond) show games, never people playing them?

Men don't care about hair color. Each night is a wonderful opportunity to sample all flavours -- like M&M's. Eat the red ones last if you want.

You shouldn't camp out to buy stuff. But if I were that kind of low I don't think I'd have an issue finding a Wii somewhere day 1.

It sounds like PR talk for "The reason why our game looks like crap is becuase of the hardware. Not our lack of effort."

If Nintendo is right about their launch numbers, I can't see picking up a Wii hard to do.

Pretty much, and far cry on the wii is really damn ugly so far. I still think the wii being this far behind the curve is a huge mistake. But of course as many a nintendo fan has argued the graphics are perfect because nintendo says they are.

[Jeremy]

I haven't seen anyone say the Wii's graphics are perfect, but I have seen a lot of people say that they don't mind giving up some hardware power for the new controller technology.

I have seen a lot of people who put an apostophe in all plural nouns.

All colors taste the same.
