The Conduit







Another year has come and gone, and despite the increase of profit that Nintendo has gained, I have found 2008 to be a very disappointing year for games. Sure, Call of Duty: World at War, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, Guitar Hero: World Tour, and Rock Band 2 turned some of the tables, but that is really all that was good in my opinion. Mario Kart Wii wasn't even the best it could have been, with multiplayer tracks that weren't right for four player battle, and no way to be eliminated in balloon battle. Even though it had many new and cool features, a few classic ones were trampled on. Super Smash Bros Brawl was simply an update to Melee. Factors like that made the best games of the year even less impressive. Don't get me wrong - I loved those games. My point, really, is that consoles like the Xbox have gotten numerous amounts of big games, such as Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Rock Band 2, COD5, and such. I can't wait for a time when Wii gets years like that.







Overlord: Dark Legends







Turn the spotlight to 2009. The Conduit, Sin and Punishment 2, the next Zelda, Mario and new rumoured Kid Icarus, and even a version of Overlord for Wii! I'm really stoked for the latter. If you have never heard of Overlord for the 360, it is a comedic, adventure, commander game. In it, you are a dark lord controlling your minions to do your will, with laughs around every bend. A Wii version will make my day. Not to mention that The Conduit will give Halo a run for its money. This is going to be one heck of a good year for Wii!

And no. I did not change my mind about my original post, I just looked at it from a different angle.

So let me know what you think about 2009. Will it be the best year to date, or is it going to be pure crap? Let me know in the comments section, or vote in the poll.
