YUUHUUU... Hello all. I would like to make a poll here. Would like to ask all of you to list down what games that you WOULD LIKE to play, but have not gotten the chance yet. List it down here so that I may do a, "Survey" to fuel my research on the next of things to come.  Games are limited to DS and Wii only (Preferable Wii, but DS users should also list it out). Do let us all know what games and why. From there, I'll give a personal recommendation. So, I've started adding my recommendations. Now if you have another game you'd like me to take time and think. Let me know, I'll update regularly. PS: Its time for me to spread my wings, so your participation is very crucial about this. Thanks!This post has been edited by Kyoyagami: May 23 2010, 11:59 AM

I think when it comes to time, it shouldn't be a problem. its how you find yourself being affordable for the game or not.
I have a lot of people coming at me telling that they want to buy new games, but they can't afford it. So, this would open their options to try out new things while not missing out. And if you don't like it, return it! It opens your door to many ways possible.

Mayo, yup, ur right on that. Not surprising that people would want to do such a thing.
But I believe in catering for those who don't go to that trouble. Sure, people will take advantage of me as they please (Heck, it is bound to happen in some ways), but this is where I depend on the support on those that I have known. The support from 10 can diminish the treachery of 1.
Its not surprising we don't find much in the wii that we would like. We're divided. Some of us are casual gamers, and some are more core oriented. Since you'll see tons of people interested in playing mini games rather than a full length game (Multiplayer rather than alone), I would need to see how I can appeal to both crowds, and at the same time, make things easier for everyone.

Perhaps my current bundles are more targetted to the casual gamers (School Holiday, Active Sports, Mario Bundles). But I agree that I don't have any core gamer games in tact and in stock. Though I want to keep stock of those games, I don't like to see my CC bill pile up. So, it'll be like a risky thing to go for.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle: Rent. Unless you want to keep it as a collection. It should take you a good 3 weeks to complete the game.
Red Steel 2: Rent. Unless you want to keep it also. Length is similar to NMH 2.
New Super Mario Bros Wii: KEEP. It will give you around 2 months to complete it.
Super Mario Galaxy 1 / 2: Unless you dislike 3D Platformers, KEEP THE GAME.
Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: You'll find ENDLESS joy playing this if you love fighting games, but good rental for completing its core arcade mode and some party fun games for a good weekend.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: KEEP. That is if you love Link and his adventures. He should take you a little over 4 weeks.
Metroid Prime Trilogy: KEEP if you LOVE shooters. This is perfect rendition of the use of Wii remotes. Length is a good 1 and a half to 2 months (since its 3 games in 1).
MadWorld: RENT. Length is less than a week. Great game, but WAY TOO SHORT.
The Conduit: RENT if you just want story. If there's MP, then I'll let you decide if there's anyone online. Length is 2 weeks.
Muramasa: The Demon Blade: KEEP. 2D action platformer that you should revisit from time to time. But length is around 3 weeks.
Monster Hunter 3: Unless you hate 3rd person action adventures, KEEP IT. Length, INFINITE???
Ghost Squad: RENT for great weekend party fun with others. But still its a great KEEPER title if you love to play shooters cooperatively. Length, is, urh, 1 day.
The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return: RENT for great weekend party fun with others. Length is also 1 day.
The House of the Dead: Overkill: RENT for Story and great parties. This game's story can take u long for completion purposes. Give a little over 1 week for story completion. And everything else 2.
Just Dance: RENT for parties. KEEP for Family fun. heck. even I would love to keep it.
If there's anymore, let me know.
PS: length is based on 2 hours per day of gameplay. Completion is based on completing EVERYTHING in the game. Not just story completion.

QUOTE(Mayomythical @ May 25 2010, 03:06 PM) Dead Space: extraction... rent. long-ish but really no replay value (at least to me) I can vouch for that. Good party game for the weekend at nights. Rail shooter what. Just that it'll take a while.

Of course. It just depends on how hungry you are for games that would make you ask if you want to buy or rent. For me, even I'm a buyer.

I prefer offering a "rent and then buy concept". But you'll have to cover me in certain ways too. I can give out rentals forever, but i prefer educating people to say "hey, its ur 5 month already, why not buy the game that you're holding? It's gonna take u RM 30 only."

Ahoy people! Since I'm headed to Singapore on Saturday, here's what I might pick up.
-Red Steel 2 with M+ -No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle -Tatsunoko vs Capcom -Muramasa -Just Dance -The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess -Trauma Team -Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands (With bonus PoP classic game) -Call of Duty Modern Warfare: Reflex
Now, I may be picking up all of that, but I won't pick a lot of it. Just a few copies (to start off my rental). Please help me out by:
-Indicating your interest to buy/rent some of these games. -Let me know the games you want from Singapore (which I could get cheaper).

u punya special request lah dey. but if its around a few sgd, I don't mind picking up 2.  Added on May 31, 2010, 12:45 amFiuh! Got a few more to say about: Call of Duty: Modern Warefare Reflex: You most probably have played it in other consoles, but you oughta RENT this for the Wii for its new control and optimization for the Zapper (then again, most of us don't have it). But KEEP it if you intend to to go collector. It should take less than a week, but Multiplayer can keep you going. This post has been edited by Kyoyagami: May 31 2010, 12:45 AM
