Some desperately needed venting

Over the 3 months I've been on hiatus I had the chance to play 2 greatly anticipated Wii games, Goldeneye and Donkey Kong Country Returns... I hated them both.

Goldeneye was just crap. It was very half-assed Call of Duty clone that had none of the spirit of the original game. Not even the multiplayer, which was supposed to be the main draw of the game. All I got out of this game were blurry graphics, terrible controls, and linear levels that are nothing but "hiding behind crates ans shooting enemies over and over".

Donkey Kong Country Returns wasn't any better. While it kept some of the original game's spirit, the game's awful controls screwed me at every turn. having to shake the remote to attack was the worst idea since the idea to revive this franchise without the original developers. The Wii remote is the most unresponsive piece of shit to ever curse gaming. DK never rolled properly and ended up getting hit by enemy, since he wouldn't respond to wiimote shakes.

Ah, I feel a little better now...
