The popularity of Nintendo❀'s Wii is as mainstream as it gets right now. Everyone - from little kids to teenage girls and radio DJs - is presently in a furious arm-swinging, remote-flinging frenzy over the sleek white box. So ho🉐w ironic is it that the "family-friendly" system is also playing host to so many first-person shooters, that most bloody and controversial of all gaming genres?

It may be incongruous but it also makes perfect sense. The Wii-mote screams to be turned into a lightgun and, in combination with the attached Nunchuk, can function as a pretty solid replacement for a PC's familiar mouse-and-keyboard setup. And yet Red Steel, probably the second most anticipated launch title after Zelda and definitely the most anticipated Wii shooter, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:did not live up to expectations. Can Far Cry Vengeance?

The tropical action game has at least a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:great track record. The original Far Cry was a ground-breaking FPS (literally, as it expanded the typical genre environment to include sprawls o▨f nature-heavy terrain) that arguably managed to improve itself when first arriving on consoles. After spending some quality hands-on time with the latest Wii-exclusive edition, we're willing to bet that that history of success will continue.
