    I know Overlord 2 is available on PC and I think an expansion for number 1 is on PC too. Check out the steam store for the titles. I think they retail for US$4.99, at least that was the case when I purchased Overlord 1 a while back.

    And how is the game short? It is massive if only for the fact that to complete the whole game you need to backtrack through several places extending travel time and consequently game time.

    All you need is a broadband internet connection and Monster Hunter Tri.


    Because Ironbeard says so.

    What's with all the wii hate? It has some games worth playing:

    Muramasa Demon Blade (or whatever it's called): Fun, if repetitive, sprite action game with multiple story endings and 2 playable characters.

    Rune Factory: Frontier - Harvest Moon meets action RPG. Not bad, kind of high learning curve too (for managing a huge farm anyway).

    Donkey Kong Country Returns - Forget about Mario Galaxy.

    Fire Emblem Radiant Something 2 - It's average for an FE game, but if you like FE, you'll like this.

    edit: wtf is strikethrough again? doesn't do it

    The Wii hate has a lot to do with the fact that the Wii's been out for three years and only has some games worth playing, while the HD consoles both have a fuckload. It's just not a very good console.

    The lack of games is the main reason. Nintendo has great 1st party games, but has basically zero 3rd party support. Rockstar games, the Elder Scroll games, etc are some of the best games this generation but can't be found on a wii.

    Zelda is the only 2011 game to look forward to on the Wii. And The Last Story by mistwalker games, but that hasn't been given a NA release date (if it ever will). If Nintendo brought over the new Tales game and Xenoblade, wii owners might have something to brag about - as JRPGs are few and far between.

    I love that you can download old classics. The web browser is decent, I use it to read fics.
