Has anyone ever cached their points in and got something decent from it ?

Ninendo Points

A cinema type room but with a load of PCs and screens in where you get in the game. If this is done correctly this could be MASSIVE ! Everyone loves films, imagine a group of mates actually playing the film out. Well that’s pretty much what gaming is.

I love the sound of this and can seriously see it being a complete take over from Films. Only good thing going for film in this area is that you don’t have to do anything. It’s switch off time when a film is on.

Wii Sports is the only game we play here when the box is on and that’s a pitty as there’s such potential with that machine. Nothing decent on the Virtual games either :( .
Nintendo are missing the boat with no decent games out still. Looking forward to seeing Metriod and Mario but it’s still not the Mario Party games that we’re waiting for. Also come on lets get the internet gaming working surely.

With all the dedicated game consoles out there I thought that PC games had their days numbered. But it’s interesting that I have a Wii and a 360 here but I still playing BF2142 and WOW more than I do on the XBox.
Both those PC online games you have to play more and more to get further and make the game more interesting. That’s something that XBox Live doesn’t have that I’ve noticed. I know you get points for winning bits of games but what’s the point of that as you get nothing back. With WOW and BF2142 the more you play the more the game opens up. It makes the games last for months and months.
I wonder if there will be some proper online games like this on XBL or on the Wii one day ?
