I know the word "shovelware" can send a chill through many peoples spines, but sometimes a shovelware game CAN be fun. I have played a few games that scored below 6.0 on Gamespot and still enjoyed them just a bit. Now, out of the PS3, 360, and Wii, which system has the best quality shovelware? If you were only able to buy games that scored below 7.0 for the next 6 months, which would be your console of choice?

As for me, I would go with the 360 for sure. I know the Wii has alot of shovelware games, but most of those are aimed at a younger audience and are too simple in terms of gameplay and features.

What about you :)

Hmm I'd say it's more, Shovelware =/= un-fun games. I don't think you can rush a game, put little effort and not have it be bad, but you can still have some fun with them, just nowhere near as much fun as a proper game.

Shovelware = cheaply made games that are shoveledout to the consumer as quickly as possible.

Yep.

Shovelware games could get good scores... they rarelly do because of how cheaply they are made, but just because a game is below a 7 or 6 or whatever doesn't make it shovelware.
