Sport Games No More...

So you have a 360 and a PS3 - which version of a game do you purchase?

I gave my opinion in an earlier blog post, for me the 360 version wins because of acheivements.  It's that "little extra" that makes a difference.

I'm now modifying my statement and sport game buying will never be the same again.

The victor: The Wii!

I've been playing TIger Woods for the Wii and it is addictive and like so many of the other sport games on the system, just a lot of fun to play.  Sure the graphics may not be up to the 360 or PS3 standards, but who cares?  You are immersed in the game!  I hope we see more "complete" games like Tiger Woods.  I say complete because Wii Sports seems to be a technology demonstration (and party game) versus a game that will have some longevity.

After playing several rounds of Tiger Woods I can only think of how fun a tennis game (Virtua Tennis anyone?), or boxing game (FN3) would be. 

I'm a big hockey fan and have some doubts about how it would work on the Wii, but I'd like to see the wiimote used as a stick.  It would make the "skill stick" in NHL 07 seem old school.

With the right software, the Wii can be more than a novelty.

Ya I have to say, the Wii brings a whole new dimension to sports games. That may be it's killer app.
