IGN writes: "There's definitely nothing else like Sexy Poker on WiiWare. Sure, there's Texas Hold 'em Tournament, but that's one of the ugliest games available on the service and it doesn't have cute, scantily clad anime girls. It does have multiplayer, though, which Sexy Poker lacks and has very limited replay value because of it.
Ultimately, two types of people will get a kick out of Sexy Poker: adolescents who get a genuine thrill out of half-naked anime chicks, and people like me who will download it as a joke because of how bat crap crazy it is. Either way: enjoy!"

Well don't worry, brethren – VideoGameTV has a bike pump. A bike pump filled to the nozzle with killer software. To maintain the pretence of considered judgement, we've jotted down some pros and cons for each title on the list."
I was going to include the COD4 remake on this but it doesn't look too hot... anybody want to disagree?
Decent list of games but some of the Cons are just silly.:P
Apparently Sexy Poker is absolute rubbish and COD 4:MW: Reflex(longer name than FF:CC: Crystal Bearers!) is apparently a good port of the game but if you alreayd have it not much point in getting it a again.
I'd definitely disagree with not including COD:MWR. The reviewers who actually took their time to play the game (and didn't rush out a review in a day like IGN) have good things to say about the game, almost without exception. The controls are great, and it has the best online of any game on Wii.
That said, I would've put the Metroid Prime Trilogy on that list somewhere. It's the best deal on Wii (or anywhere this year, really).
Metroid Trilogy's utterly, utterly brilliant - the nearest thing the Wii has to an Orange Box, IMO - but I was aiming for recent/upcoming games. (Excitebike is a remake, yes, but it's a recent remake).
Yup, silly isn't bad and Red Steel 2 does need Lightsabers... and you're right about NWMB Wii.
I would have added Rabbids Go Home and/or A Boy and his Blob too.
Truth be told I haven't run into Boy and his Blob...
Ta for the feedback, always nice to get a conversation going.
...has some great titles but they should stick to exclusives and keep away from the multiplatform releases. Just look at how dated COD4 looks on the Wii. Graphics may not matter but once you have experienced a game like COD4 on a better system its hard to go back.
It's at this point the pretence of being a game falters entirely, as you can view each 'unlocked' woman in the gallery, saving you the bother of even playing it at all. However much you win at Sexy Poker, you'll only ever feel like a loser.
5.2... does it matter? The only aspects you need to review is graphics and desperation of the internet, and trust me as Einstein once said
'Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the desperation of the people on the internet.'
From the article:
"Sexy Poker is played by using the Wii remote's pointer controls to make all your selections. It would have been nice to be able to use the remote held horizontally for traditional button input, but that option is not provided."
"Yes, it's true: my wrist got tired from playing Sexy Poker."
And some say playing with no controllers AT ALL will be awesome o.0
Pocket Pool over this any day!! THAT IS a sexy game.
boobies adds +5 to the score
