It's much better now that we have a few guys owning it. I played more sessions online this past weekend than during the past 3 months combined.
I could try online world at war again but I would probably get bored after half an hour. I like the single player alot. We have a thread here:

BTW did you ever try Disaster Day of Crisis? You can get it for £19 now and its suprisingly fun. Thread here:

Might buy AC first if I can have your spare Pikmin hat
I have 3 characters so I usually have two spares of all DLC. I gave away two of my St Patricks day hats.
You should check out this Disaster Day of Crisis trailer. So much fun just to re-watch it and hear the music. I love this game.
So this is weird:
Nintendo’s Wii Fit has returned to the top of the UK charts for the first time since mid-February, as the hardware bundle continues to play the role of default UK number one -- in the absence of any other major new releases.
As combined sales of Resident Evil 5 fell by 51 percent, Wii Fit bounced back in the individual platform charts. Overall, though, there were no genuine new entries in the top 10, but Wii Play and Mario Kart Wii both saw a significant boost in sales.
Retail promotions for Capcom’s Street Fighter IV saw an overall increase in sales of 7 percent. The PlayStation 3 version rose two places to number 10 and the Xbox 360 version climbed six places to number 12.
RE5 and SF IV just came out and Wii Fit retakes the number one. The game is old and expensive and peripheral based. It almost feels like Nintendo is laughing somewhere and pointing.
With most regular retail games, after the period immediately after release, sales start to wane off gradually until the game stops selling in any meaningful way, then it goes at a discount or plainly hits the bargain bin. Some games will sell for longer periods of time, and a few of them will become all time sellers.
In the case of WiiFit, it's hard to look at it under the same light than other games. It could go on and off the charts forever, or at least until WiiFit2 arrives. All you need is a newpiece on national TV showing the impact of obesity in life expectancy and voilà! Sudden sales surge. Another article on a big newspaper on the rising incidence of overweight children and bam! WiiFit back on the charts again. It just doesn't fit (lol, teh pun) the profile of a regular retail game.
So any game that can be linked to health scares will sell forever? I think this is a new strategy. I see a new game "How to brush your teeth"
Though of course the media likes to spin it to make it sound like the game was to blame. I wonder if RE will be back in number 1 next week
nintendo has got to be laughing and pointing

Iwata pointed it out at GDC. The game is going to outsell GTA IV. I mean a few years ago, hell even now I still find that impossible to even imagine. Its not like its even priced the same.
I know its bad but I pictured him with a kebab in one hand, port in the other, standing on the board stretching one leg. I had a doner last week that tasted like cardboard.
It could, theoretically. I don't consider WiiFit a proper game, though, and its design and scope is far broader than something as pedestrian as brushing your teeth.

They should do Wii STDs.
How NOT to get infected. Just waggle.
Or always use the condom on your Wiimote.
Safety first.

Too many Wii sports gags going through my head to pick one atm
i think it may be too risky to develop a game which requires such an expensive peripheral (even if the install basis is outrageous by now), so even the ones that implement it need a secondary (or make the BB the secondary) control system and cannot go all out for it.
