OXM UK reports that Triumph Studios says Wii's last-gen technology is the reason direct Xbox 360 ports won't work for Nintendo's console.
Lennart Sas, Creative Director at Triumph Studios, tells OXM that "the weakness for the Wii is the graphical and processing technology, which is last-gen... so you have to custom tailor your game to best use of the Wii's strengths, which is the Wii-mote. I don't think you can do that with a direct port."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
isn't that obvious?
Maybe we will see a Wii HD sometime in the future.
Yup, that's pretty obvious. Overlord seems like it could work really well though and graphically it looks quite nice on the Wii but it seems to be pretty bad judging from reviews.

What he considers a weakness I see as a strength for the Wii.

Well, no sh1t, Sherlock! ;)
the 360 (and PS3 for that matter) can do downscaling to 480p but the Wii does not have that very capability! it can't process HD materials thus only outputting 480p max!
