Forgot Luigi's Mansion too. GCN wasn't a total failure like some people like to believe.
AC: It's boring. Just like the Sims or any other real life fantasy play along. If I wanted to gather wood I'd go do it irl. Harvest Moon falls under this too.
Star Wars: Nothing Star Wars has been good since the first 3 movies and even then they were just meant to be sort of funny and have been blown into something gross. No Star Wars video game has ever been good except that MMO and even that I'm iffy about saying is good. A lot of people enjoy it. But a lot of people also enjoy Twilight so...
XIII: Was PS2 first by 6 days. Neener neener.
Viewtiful Joe: Okay, you got me on that one.
Luigi's Mansion wasn't really good. It wasn't fleshed out enough to be good (not a joke about ghosts). It was INTERESTING but it was sort of poorly done. I'll give it half points for introducing Professor E. Gadd who is sort of funny through the handheld RPG series.
Even if I conceded that all of these titles are great, it wouldn't change the fact that it's 6 - 10 games it failed compared to the PS2's library of at least 30 AMAZING games (and that's a lowball number) and... I don't know about the XBOX. I think actually the GC is better than the XBOX so... you can cheer about that. pineapple FPS and sports games.
@Rick: There's a problem with your mother finishing games? I would say that her finishing it is a testament to it being a good game, not just being easy. Most casuals don't stick with games that aren't enjoyable.
@Shikage: Not really true. Games get ported because the company already owns the rights to them and want to milk what they can out of them, regardless of whether or not they were super successful. A different platform opens new opportunities for a game regardless of its history.
