Question
When i first got my wii last christmas, me and my family thought it was great. All the inovative controls, getting you up and active. But after a while I'm getting just plain bored with it. I need an online shooter for god sakes. Clan wars! in a room with a bunch or your friends. I look at the release dates of 07-08 and i see maybe 5 first person shooters and maybe 2 of them are online. Madden 08 has been good fun and all, but i need more online games. Do you know what the wii is doing for hardcore online gamers like myself and online play?
The wii isn't really supposed to be for the hardcore shooting fans. It's a family console that everyone can enjoy together. But there are games for hardcore gammer. Zelda, metroid, and mario galaxy are three games that will keep you busy for a long time and are fantastic. Comming up next year you've got smash bro. brawl (with online play I might add) and mario kart. The new resident evil game is also fun, and I hear good things about the new medal of honor. In my opinion though, I have the best time with my wii when I've got a bunch of friends over playing mario party. As far as online play is concerned, the wii is still in its infancy, and nintendo hasn't had a lot of experience with it, but be partient, they promise it will be widespread here soon.

Expertise
I can answer any and all questions regarding any console games made including both older and modern generations (From the Atari 2600 to the Wii) as well as PC Games (both new and old). I'm familiar also with the technical aspect of console gaming systems. I can offer tips and tricks for most any game from finding a secret item to how to get through those stressful boss fights (aka - strategies), as well as recommendations for new and upcoming games. I can't answer questions about how to mod systems (since it voids your warranties anyway) and how to hack video games using your console.

I've worked 2 years at an EB Games as a part time job through college. I've also been playing and collecting video games since I was 6 years old. I've owned all video game systems (new and old!).
