Wave isn't a bad name at all, but it could become one if their marketing for it gets a little too cheesy.  Still I don't think name criticism reall holds up anymore after the Nintendo shoved it up the ass of everyone who laughed at the "Wii."

Well I guess any name could be bad if marketing for it gets cheesy. The name Wii was just begging to be made fun of though regardless. Even if Nintendo had been dominate the previous gen the name Wii would still have been the butt of many jokes.

They cold have called it anything other than Natal and it would have been a tremendous improvement.  Wave is a good one though, it evokes an action with the hand (I guess the other option would have been "Wank").

Beat Dead Space.  With now playing the two games, I have to say I'm very impressed with the story and detail that is in and behind the games.  I'd certainly be interested in any books or manga that they produce (the wii version comes with 6 digital issues of a -- well not more than a storyboard actually).  But I do like the world they have created.

Dead Space -- what an under-covered game though.  And the ending... wow.  I played this on Easy, and man, they must have had the hardcore in mind, or I'm just stupid, but if you sat me down with that game and let me play it on Easy for 10 minutes I'd guess I was playing one notch above normal.

So I'm about to pop in Halo Wars.  I've never played a game like this before, so I'll find out just how good Ensemble was at introducing noobs to the genre.  The closest I've got was Advance Wars.  In any case, if any one has any advice, I'll take it.

If this takes, then I've got Endwar and Shattered Union to play as well.

You want advice?! Here it is! Return the game to its case and play Little King's Story instead.

Yeah, not bad advice. I'm keeping to short games (< 15 hours)right now in anticipation of SMG2 arriving at my door.

 Ah you might want to reconsider LKS, that game makes SMG2 look like a short game. Back with Halo Wars then.

Can't we all just forget Sonic and pretend it never existed?

Boo.

Hopefully that is true raven. I also hope they don't just remove it and call it a day. Make a proper level in its place. They are the ones that called it Sonic 4 and made a big deal about it being like Genesis Sonic so how about they make it LIKE A FUCKING GENESIS SONIC GAME DAMN IT, HOW HARD CAN THAT BE HOLY SHIT.
