Thoughts:
The review score averages for all the games have not changed in a few weeks now.
Next week, possibly even this weekend, I should be posting up more data stories with other games, than just the normal ones I have been covering.

Questions:
Do you want me to continue these rail shooter games data stories weekly?  Or perhaps bi-weekly or even once a month?

Again, if you missed the contest post, I am giving away a Wii Speak unit.  For details click: http://coffeewithgames.blogspot.com/2010/04/contest-you-can-hear-me-now-win-wii.html

  1. No disrespect to you CWG, but it is getting annoying only seeing these games posted all the time. Nintendo and third parties need to stop jerking around with Lisa Kudrow and those damn commercials with MILF's playing the DS and Wii with their soon to be dead grandma and make more Zapper compatible games. It was announced and out in...'07 I believe, and the lack of Zapper games is downright disgusting. Seems like a waste of their money and ours. My Zappers are becoming like a cancer, sitting there, taking up space, and I don't want em.

    In retrospect, I hope that passes as a 'clean' comment. :D

  2. I think it'll be interesting to leave room for more games in the rotation. Though I'm curious how the battle between Overkill and Darkside Chronicles is going to evolve.

    I think this is the first time now that Overkill has gotten more new players since the launch of Darkside Chronicles. I wonder how much time before it gets more hours too, since Darkside seems to be the longer game.

    No disrespect take. :) More data stories it will be!

    "Nintendo and third parties need to stop showing Lisa Kudrow in commercials, playing the DS and Wii with her ancient relatives, and make more Zapper compatible games. It was announced and out in...'07 I believe, and the lack of Zapper games is downright disgusting. Seems like a waste of their money and ours. My Zappers are becoming like a politician, sitting there, taking up space, and I don't want em."

    I cleaned it up so it would be more socially acceptable.

    @Jonath:

    I'll probably start rotating them on a bi-weekly basis, even the Wii Fit Plus, Wii Sports Resort, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii and the FPS games data posts.

    I agree though, I think it's going to be interesting to if/when The Darkside Chronicles passes Overkill.

    Thank you both for the comments!

    BTW, if you haven't entered the contest, you have until Monday night to enter it.

  4. CWG, I think you misinterpreted me. I'm not saying for you to change what you do and do more data stories, but that Nintendo needs to make more Rail/Zapper games, because as of now they only have three good ones.
