No reason a Wii game can't look beautiful Toxie, many do. Last Story is not one such game though, not because it is not artistically sounds, but because of the overuse of blur filters.

Caved today, went to buy Last Story. Turns out Gamestation only bought in enough for the pre-orders and GAME don't and won't stock it.

Are there any decent (non-motion) NHL games for the Wii? I've rediscovered how great ice hockey games are.

It's definitely a nice set but I'm questioning the whole point of steelbook cases being included alongside regular game cases...what is the point? Loads of LE's do this these days and I think it makes sense to just have the steelbook as the default game case inside the big box.

Just playing COD: Black Ops and I'm very impressed. Graphically it's easily the best third-party title I've seen on the Wii (squint - pretty hard - and you could almost be playing the 360 version), the multiplayer mode is fun and the Zombie mode which was slashed from the Wii version of WAW is back. I'm impressed with the amount of effort Treyarch went to with this considering that Wii versions of COD games tend to look a little like afterthoughts.

That's interesting. Can you use a control pad?

Yes, it was the first COD game to include classic controller support.
