Jumping on the casual gaming bandwagon comes Ubisoft's new Play Zone label. What the hell is horse shoes?

Being ironic again Mr Williamson?

It looks rubbish and it sounds even worse, but hey casual gaming is all the rage, right?

Play PuzzleQuest and/or Peggle then see if you're so against casual games

I don't mind the casual games but the Wii is rife with them, how many ways to swing a wiimote round comes to mind.

So far my wife has bought Wii play (due to it coming with an extra controller) and Carnival Games. It feels like companies are overdoing the casual thing with the games instead of getting decent titles out there on the shelves

The good games look to finally be on their way now.

Alone in the dark Wii is looking good as is conduit and there are some other Adult games coming later this year/early next year.

Agreed there are too many of these crap games out atm. My girlfriend bougth me wii Carinal because it was 15 quid.

lol, I do like some casual games, but everyone is onto it now. The whole range is going to be steeped in poo.

OMG, that game is hideous.

I'm starting to wonder whether Nintendo are holding back with some of the titles to be honest. Are we starting to see a rerun of the SuperNes days where games that had blood in them wern't allowed, Mortal Kombat didn't have any fatalities etc..

Granted not on the level of the SNES but it has got me wondering. I think they need to kick it up a notch and get some serious gamers more involved. As it stands I have a glorified retro machine there. I occasionally play Raving Rabbids 2 or the bowling on Wii sports, but they tend to get a little tedious after a while. Only other game that I strangely enjoy playing is Ratouille, quite fun really.

I look forward to seeing what is being released in the retro titles rather than the titles that are hitting the shelves. Shouldn't really be the case though, titles instores should be the ones grabbing my attention mainly.

Just to finish though, I hope we see Last Ninja 3 on the Virtual Console soon!!!

Did you pickup Ninja 2 Steve?

So that's just another excuse to get the pink hair-dryer out isn't it?
