The survival horror genre isn’t exactly one that I’ve had much experience with. Before I got a Wii, the only game I’d played that even resembled survivor horror was Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (brilliant game), and that was more of an action/horror anyway. The first survival horror game I played for Wii, Resident Evil 4, only tentatively counts also, and the two subsequent games I played since, Resident Evil and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, both make RE4 look quite tepid on the scare-o-meter in comparison.

The fullsize image (which I found on Danbooru) is quite amazing, but I unfortunately can't track a source...

It’s been a little over a year since I first got a Wii, so I guess this is about as good a time as any to look back at the games I’ve played in that time. And I have actually played quite a few. Wii is probably the console that fits me best, since I don’t consider myself a “hardcore” gamer (in fact, this whole ridiculous dichotomy between “hardcore” and “casual” gaming is best summed up with this comment, IMO), and I’ve grown up with major Nintendo franchises like Mario, Zelda and Metroid, so my attachment to them is completely unabashed. If I were a “hardcore” gamer (or a true America patriot), I’d probably get a PS3 after it, from all accounts, had an very good year just now, but I don’t have enough time and the Wii keeps me sated as far as games are concerned. Anyway, in the next two posts I’ll be mini-reviewing all the games I’ve played on the Wii this year and then posting some general thoughts on the console.
