    I wasn't sure if this thread was just for iPhone games or games in general. If you're a mod please feel free to move this.

    Well, Christmas is coming up and I have no idea what to get. I have a Wii and the newest MacBook Pro. So that narrows it down to any Wii/Mac game. I have the following games:

    Wii
    • The Conduit
    • Excite Truck
    • Guitar Haro 3
    • The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
    • Lego Indiana Jones
    • Lego Star Wars
    • Mario Kart
    • Mario Super Sluggers
    • Pikmin
    • Punch-Out
    • The Simpsons Game
    • Super Mario Galaxy
    • Super Smash Bros. Brawl
    • Wario Ware Smooth Moves

    Mac
    • Spore
    • Spore Galactic Adventures
    • Sims 2
    • Zoo Tycoon 2

    Please let me know if there are any games out there for these systems that you think are good.

    Thanks
    Yffum

    You have NO WiiWare or Virtual Console titles at all? Forget about the games, get yourself a Nintendo Points card. Theres a ton of stuff your missing out on!

    You have a Wii, but none of the few games worth owning? Just get Brawl, Mario Galaxy and Zelda then ignore every Wii release for another year until Nintendo manages to make another game that's possible to play without wanting to scratch your eyes out.

    Trade in your Wii and get an XBOX 360 with Modern Warfare 2.

    Or do what MidianGTX suggested. :p

    Only games worth owning on Wii are: Brawl, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart and Twilight Princess. I enjoy Pokemon Battle Revolution too, but not even many other Pokemon fans do.

    There's also lots of classics to catch up on with Virtual Console, including Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Pokemon Snap... so on.

    All the best new releases are on PS3, Xbox 360 or PC.

    And don't get Spore. It's a massive pile of trash.

    Wow, harsh. I was sorta expecting that, lol.

    @rankosao

    I have a bunch, I just didn't list them

    @midiangtx

    What do you mean I don't have any of the good ones? I have all the ones you listed. And yes, I realize their games suck.

    @hodapp

    I was considering getting the cod for wii...

    ----------------

    What about games for mac? I know I'm just asking for it there too...

    Are you an RPG or Sim fan? Then i suggest getting Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility. Animal Crossing is also fun.

    Yeah I wasn't paying attention, I thought the list was games you were thinking of getting. Just get a few VC games and you're done then :rolleyes:

    Oh, and Resident Evil 4.

    I happen to enjoy my Wii, although i think it could use some more RPGs... I wouldnt be caught dead with an Xbox because all it's traditionally been good for is FPSes and thats just not my thing, and Sony is insane.

    I have both. I didn't put them down because I find that games like that become very tedious, and I didn't want people recommending games based off of that.

    Any other games you would recommend then? I actually think fps for wii are pretty good. The controls feel really natural. The thing is, the graphics are better on other systems. I wish there was just one great system with all the games...

    So you're telling me you don't have Lost Odyssey?!

    360 isn't too bad for RPGs. Oblivion, Fallout, Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, Fable II, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean... that's just off the top of my head.

    ...and of course Final Fantasy XIII next year.

    If you like RPGs you're missing out by not having a 360 or a PS3.

    Well, graphics arent everything.. Aside from the ones i and the others mentioned, theres Dokapon Kingom, which is an RPG/board game hybrid.. If you like Shmups you cant go wrong with Blast Works.. im not going to bother bringing up Cooking Mama, something tells me thats not your type of game..

    Xbox and PS3 have pretty large libraries of non-FPS games. You should check them out.

    $299.99

    ...and you can play all PS1 games on a PS3, so that's FFIV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX at the very least :)

    but not PS2 games? What about FFX X-2, DQ8, Culdcept, Dark Cloud 2, Katamari Damacy, and the .hack games, just to name a few?

    Theres a few rumours spawned from Sony documents going round that PS2 and Dreamcast games are going to be downloadable too. Can't confirm it though. Some early PS3 models play PS2 games though.
