[QUOTE="ramey70"]So you are okay with the Wii being declared the winner with a bunch of kid and party games? Lilac_Benjie

Wii has family friendly games, party games, mini games, adult games, mature games, and everything else.

But they aren't the focus of the machine. I have one, and I like it. But that doesn't keep me from calling a spade a spade.

The Wii is not a spade. It's a console that appeals to everyone. It has something of everything.

A jack of all trades is a master of none.

[QUOTE="ramey70"]Btw, hasn't Casey said numerous times that games have decided the winner in the past and not sales?tango90101

Casey's opinion does not trump the opinion of an entire industry...

True, but this isn't the "entire industry". It's a message board moderated by him and his rules.

I thought the graphics were beautiful. It's one of the best looking games I've seen in a while. I love the overall art style and I'm willing to argue it has the best lighting system in a game to date.

Also, last I checked, 640p was HD. Besides, I'm upscaled to 1024x768, so it doesn't matter.

You need to check again. The lowest resolution recognized by the ATSC as HD is 1280x720.

ATSC is for Television, they have nothing to do with consoles.

Technically you are correct, but it's the defintion that is pretty much universal.

[QUOTE="R-Dot-Yung"]

[QUOTE="AdolescentDon"]Anything higher than 480p is HD.AdolescentDon

no, i dont agree with that statement...

Erm, fine.. Don't then.

But if 480i/p is SD then logically isn't anything higher than that HD?... Hmm, think about it.

No, the ATSC defines the standards for high definition. 1280 x 720 is the lowest resolution defined by them as high definition.

She asked me what game I recommended and I told her Resident Evil 4 because it was scary (she likes horror movies) and had a great story. I also thought she would enjoy using the Wiimote for shooting. She called back later and said she didn't like it because "it was too much like a video game". I was baffled. What the hell is that supposed to mean? She later got Carnival Games and loved it.
