The Nintendo Wii and point and click - the next Wii Sports?

Like fish and chips, cheese and pineapple and peanut butter and jelly, some things are just meant to be together. From the beginning of the Nintendo Wii's life, it's been a no-brainer that the Wii Remote is the perfect fit for point-and-click adventure titles. With Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barboros' Treasure wowing critics and gamers across the globe (even if its sales have been utterly disappointing) and the recent revelation that Sam & Max will be sleuthing on the machine soon, Nintendic puts together a wish list of other adventures in the genre that would be perfect for the Wii and asks whether such games still have a place alongside the likes of first-person shooters, giant MMORPGs other photo-realistic, fast-paced experiences.

Point & click... you know how strategy games have been done usually, aye? Do not underestimate it. Also, RPGs will be a lot easier to create with point'n'click interface.

Top 10 Rabbits In Gaming

From Xfire: "Bunnies are often depicted in media and popular culture as small, fluffy, adorable little buck-toothed bundles of cuteness, so far as deifying a rabbit and incorporating it into Easter traditions, somehow associating the mammal with colourful eggs and the consumption of unhealthy quantities of chocolate effigies made in its image. However, not all lagomorphs are love and cuddles - as Australia would be happy to tell you - and in video games, more often than not rabbits will be psychopathic murderers.

Since the brief season in which the ritualistic worship of a paranormal rabbit is socially acceptable is upon us, let's take a look, in no particular order, at the best and baddest hares in video games who could send the Easter Bunny packing."

How is Fran from Final Fantasy XII missing? ;-) She is the most badass Rabbit ever been in a video game!

darthv721117d ago

I would add a couple honorable mentions. Vibri from Vib Ribbon and Robbit from Jumping Flash.

Underrated gems?

* Legend of Heroes - A Tear of Vermillion
* Goemon - Mystical Ninja 64
* Nostalgia = DS rpg similar to old school FF/DQ games.
