No bad thing that others are cottoning on to the power of mini games

This game has been in the works for a long time I believe, so I wouldn't say they're strictly doing it to compete with Wii. I do agree though, mini games are cool and most definitely fun.

There is a danger of being a Jack of all Trades and a Master of None, but I do like the idea of mini-games in general. I can remember some howlers over the past few years on various platforms where not enough time was spent polishing off various sections in a rush to get as many games in as possible (Daley Thomson's Decathalon anyone?). Been some great mini games titles like California Games though :)

Ahh, Daley Thompson's Decathlon. I lost many a joystick to that game ;D

California Games kicked ass, though I always preferred World Games. The whole "Games" series was top notch though, Epyx got it bang on pretty much every time.

Daley Thompson's Supertest FTW \o/

I found a cheat for the Daily Thompson game. You could do like ctrl+tab to run like a demon. Anyways, I wouldn't say the 360 is trying to compete with the Wii. PS3 is more with the controller. I remember getting the Fuzion Frenzy demo with my original xbox. Kinda fun.
