From Gamertell:
"We all have that aunt or uncle (or, in same cases, parent) who just doesn't quite get it.
They know you have a Wii and they know it requires games but they never stick to your wish list (and they never check Gamertell for sound advice).
And so, you end up with Scene It: Twilight because "...that's popular with you kids now, right?"
Well, let's turn lemons into lemonades, as your aunt and uncle would say, and put those exchanges (or gift cards) to good use on great games you may have missed this year."
Nintenderos: "We kick off our interviews this year with a very special one with George Kamitani, president of Vanillaware. In case you didn't know this study, it is the one behind games of the stature of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Odin Sphere or Dragon's Crown. In addition to, of course, unforgettable titles like the wonderful 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim published by Atlus a few months ago."
Beneath all the Smash and shovelware, the Wii really did have quite a few gems.
Not a bad list.. I would add Excitebots, Kororinpa 1 & 2, Bit.Trip series, Geometry Wars: galaxies
BLG writes: "Dead Space. It’s a beloved horror series – one that yours truly can’t stop talking about on stream! Yet there are more Dead Space games than you may be aware of. So it’s my duty to introduce you to the best Dead Space games, and one very, very bad one. It’s time to grab a plasma cutter, cut off the limbs of terrifying necromorphs, and decide once and for all (on this website) which of the Dead Space games reigns supreme!"
I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.
Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.
Play Alien Isolation on Hard or Nightmare.
Start on the movie DLC so that you don’t have to play a bunch of campaign in order to find out if you’ll be scared.
I heard that was a good one. Honestly vr games scare me with jump scares because of how the threat feels real.
There isn’t an official VR mode, unfortunately.
The audio should pull you right in if you use headphones.
Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.
Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.
