I thought I'd try putting this here as opposed to another board, since intelligence seems to be on a higher level here. :)

That said, I've been trying to use my 360 controller with Ultimate Alliance, and it will not read or even remap the A button. No recognization at all. If anyone has any suggestions, or is having similar problems, I'd like to know. Thanks!

I'm sincerely not trying to cause disruption here, but there really aren't any games coming out for the Wii that I'm honestly excited about and can't wait for. I've been trying to buy a Wii for the last few months, but only half-heartedly because it seems as though there aren't many great games either already out or on the horizon. I REALLY want this console to do well... I do. But, I can't seem to find that important, gotta-have game in the Wii roster.

Of the upcoming games... I'd have to say Mario and Metroid look like they'd be fun... just not that all-important game I'd like to see. Simply because I feel like I've played them already... 

*sigh* about half of the people on this thread are providing solid points. The other half didn't read it.

for the 1,000th time, he isn't suggesting to change Zelda's core gameplay. He was just using Oblivion as an example of a huge game with hundreds of people to meet and thousands of sidequests. Some people hate games like that, and thats okay, but its odd so many of you insist on pretending hes suggesting something hes simply not... oh well.

Quoted for truth.

You know, nearly any time anyone starts a thread trying to do a positive spin on another game, it usually gets met with lots of uninformed posting that is irrelevant to the topic creator's ideas.

Personally, I think the Zelda games I've played in the past are some of the best fun I've had in gaming to date. There is a reason Zelda games are... well, like Zelda games. Because it's a formula that works. Now, I'm all for innovation and new things, but I really don't think we'll see much in the form of new concepts with future Zelda games. The next installment (which will hopefully come out this console generation - groan if it doesn't!) will most likely continue taking the Wiimote into consideration, adding maybe a few minigames here and there, maybe a new playstyle quirk (boat in WW, Masks and time in MM, etc) that the game will revolve around, but all in all, it'll still be basically the same Zelda we played back in the 80s. 

That's not to say it's a bad thing. I just wouldn't look to the Zelda franchise for going a different direction. Of course, Metroid did, and that's successful. But I just doubt it with Zelda. 

Even though that's frustrating, I'd think that that incident shouldn't make you "anti-mac". I can think of a lot of other reasons, but not a simple thing like a crashing Safari browser.

Hell, that happens in IE or Mozilla all the time.

I use a 17" Macbook Pro for work (musician/composer), and I've gotta say - best computing hardware I've ever used. Also not bad when playing games in Boot Camp. HL2 and Oblivion run really well. However, you were talking about the Macbook model, and I know the graphics card isn't as strong in those models. You might be able to play some Warcraft 3 or something along those lines, but not FEAR or Crysis or anything. For casual gaming and a hell of an OS and user interface, you definitely get a great product with a Mac.

Of course, for gaming, I'd wholeheartedly opine building a Windows rig.
