The 10 Hottest Wii Games of 2010

Gameplayer writes: "Ahhh Nintendo! Teacher, mother, secret lover... Disturbing Freudian slips aside, all of the Wii faithful among you should still have your voice set to 'rejoice' as the console is now entering the third year of its global domination tour. That's right folks, three full years of waggle – and here we are without shares in a company that manufactures arthritis cream and/or Wii-injury preventing helmets..."

After last year's debacle, will Nintendo make one last play at keeping the hardcore gamers interested or settle on being a toy?

+Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal bearers
+Monster Hunter Tri~
+(Maybe) Tales of Grace -- Never really heard of it until now

Overall this summer is shaping out good, I just wish that Monster Hunter Tri~ would come out here this summer.

Haha, probably so. Can't hurt though to ask for it still :)

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
