It's lame that the Wii doesn't do that. What's the point of swinging that remote around if you can't feel the enemies sword slicing into you?

[cyberfluxor]

You know, I was at GameStop yesterday and a customer inquired about a few Wii games and the employee started bashing the Wii about how lame it was and the horrible controls and how there's nothing for it at all, then after the long-winded statement he said the only game he got a chance to play was Wii Sports at a friends house. How freaking lame is it to judge a system from 1 game you played, idiot. Then, after this the employee tells the guy to buy an XBox360 because it's the awesomeness and blows everything else away and has unique online features...

Well, 360 does have great online. But that guy is a total tool, agreed. The Wii is pretty damn great, IMO. That guy needs to not work at a game store.

Good to see that the usual gang of idiots down under is on top of their game...I mean, Making fun of MySpace, YouTube AND Idol all in one magazine? Jesus, they've really got their fingers on the pulse of the hottest new trends!

Well as an australian I honestly think this is more of a mad magazine issue rather then an aussie
issue, also FYI Aussie mad is still managed by a bunch of americans

Both system rock....BTW, employees shouldn't be fanboys.

I agree with this, it's more or less what I was getting at. While the American Mad tends to stay a little more current, the Aussie version reminds me of the lameass comedians that still think jokes about airline food are somehow still cutting-edge. Besides that, and largely unrelated, I don't think that what each culture sees of the another is always what the original culture would be proud of or endorse being exported as some sort of cultural ambassador (see: McDonalds, hentai, etc.).
