He's got both systems, I rented a couple games for both and swung by after work. They were doing some runs in GT HD when I got there, I got a turn ranked 108 with one of the Evo's. Pretty cool, good graphics. He loaded up the Motorstorm demo we passed that around a couple laps each. Loaded up Resistance, cool game but everything felt like a PS2 with better images didn't really seem like anything new. The motion sensors in the PS3 controller were used in Marval: Ultimate Alliance so that was kinda neat. We probably stuck with the PS3 for an hour maybe even 2.

Then we fired up the Wii, Had several crazy Best of 5 Tennis matches, My team reigned supreme and I hold the title of 2006 Wii Sports Tennis Champion. I put in Super Swing golf. We ejected it after all 4 of us had our golf balls land in the EXACT same spot from the drive, can you say lame. Wii Sports Golf > Super Swing Golf.

Next came Red Steel, I won in a free for all, I was given the worst person and won teams, and then we went 3v1 and I still won. I can actually aim with the Wii Remotes, no more annoying thumsticks for me. After they gave up on that we went to Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, the minigames were very fun, couple annoying ones but for the most part they were fun.

Next thing we knew it was 4am and people took off, those of us left felt like checking out the PS3 some more and put Gundum in, that didn't last long as we all felt it was terrible. Then we ran into some issues with the PS3 not bringing up a game disc as being loaded a couple ejects/inserts finally corrected that. My friend noted that the system had overheated on him but was doing well for the short times we played it, no issues other than the disc reading. Then I watched X-Men the last stand in Blue-Ray.
 
Yeah, its a better party system. Who the hell wants to do serious gaming at a party? kinda nerdy. actually playing video games period at a party is ehhh.... whatever floats your boat
 
Unlock more characters then. Go play lots of hot shots and some mario golf... all of the elements from those games are there. If you think that wii sports golf is better than pangya, then you are either too picky to be playing a golf game or you have never played golf. Super Swing is the best cross between a arcade golf game, PC golf game, and console golf game that has ever been made.
 
i was over at a friend's house the other night- nothing that serious, but maybe 30 kids at the peak. all highschool friends. i fired up crash bandicoot 2: cortex's vortex and everyone seemed into it and took turns. i could see the same happening with virtual console games on wii like super mario and street fighter 2....or even the metal slug one that just got released.
 
A game that requires you to play through the story before it is fun multiplayer..lame. Setting the power for your shot before shooting so that everyone can make the exact same shot...

I'm eager for Tiger Woods PGA 07 for the Wii.
 
I've played "serious" games at parties before we just rotate through. I don't see anything wrong with playing games at a party it's something new, not just talking and playing cards and watching TV or a movie.
 
I am looking forward to tiger also, but seriously man, have you ever even played a golf video game before? You set the power in EVERY SINGLE golf game out there other than tiger. Play a few holes next time... you won't all go to the same spot on every shot.
 
Full power + Pangya + Tee = identical shot

You don't set the power in Wii Sports Golf, the golf games I played on PS2 it's been so long so I don't remember which ones but you had to hit a button at a specific time to set the power, not just hold the remote back and get the exact power you want, that's what makes it lame to me.
