    I thought about getting Zack and Wiki, I would have asked in my old thread, but someone just had to change my thread title and close it down.

    Well there are plenty of sites that have user ratings on video games. Would be more practical to search there instead of asking in a forum like this.

    So you dont play games? I guess that's understandable.

    LOL - your last thread asked about modchips and friends codes which are both diverse topics in any case - so you were just gonna randomise it a bit more?

    Good games - go read some reviews - they generally tell you what's good or bad ;)

    The guy who shut down your last thread is right - "bizarre"

    Who said I don't play games?

    I said it would be more piratical to go to a gaming website that gives user ratings on the games EG: gamespot and get top user ratings from that.

    I usually just ask people what a good game is from a bunch of different forums. That way I can ask specific questions.

    "no more friend code threads allowed here anymore, for reasons why see any of the numerous closed threads in this very forum. if you can't cope without swapping friend codes then by all means do it outside of the forums via private messages"

    That's all I see that goes into any real detail about friends codes, yet that really doesn't say much, just that, we don't like them, so don't post em here. That's fine, I just wanted a better explanation. If its just for clutter, I could see where that could be a problem if there wasn't a thread dedicated for just friend codes, but I'm just not seeing why you just didn't make a sticky thread and be done with it.

    See - if it was me and the forum I was visiting didn't cater for the type of discussion I wanted or the kind of posts I want to make, then I'd use another more suitable one cos otherwise I'd look like I was stubbornly posting crap and boring everybody else.

    I like to stay current and keep up with what the latest games are and I visit many sites but I come here because this site caters for other issues.

    Well, I usually post on the PS3 General Forum here, and they didn't berate me for asking about video games in a Console forum.

    We have trid a dedicated thread, more than once, and every single time we get incoherent rubbish posted, irrelevant chatting, pointless and unwanted conversation. And it's not what this site is about; search hard enough and you'll still find the dedicated threads we used to run, they make very sorry reading. Now you can keep going on and on about this, but we've tried allowing it too many times and it's been abused non-stop by too many 11yr old kids too high on sugar to be allowed loose on the internets..

    Alright, that's the explanation I wanted, thanks.

    Like most stuff on AD, there answers are nearly always here; i always try to be very specific when i offer help/answers to things; if anytime i ever don't seem to give all the answers it's just that the threads are always there for all to see, plus i'm always far too helpful, i should really get more people to search for themselves instead of giving so many links to things...

    To sum up, here's a link to a (very amusing) thread of a poster so desperate to talk utter pap about Friend Codes that he tried hiding in a completely irrelevant forums and proceeded to talk gibberish and confuse the hell out of the grown ups in there... That thread alone should explain how Friend Codes provide nothing of use or value and kill brain cells of us normal people.. - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/342496

    Well I don't see any harm in asking for a simple advice. If you are looking for mature games I like resident evel 4 wii edition. Other good games are super mario galaxy, super paper mario, metroid, and links crossbow training.

    As for the friend codes, what kind of an idiot would post their wii's code on a forum that discusses backing up games. You might as well e-mail nintendo and ask them to put you at the top of the ban list whenever they get it up and running. :)

    Paranoid much?

    And to AFreak like others have said you should just look up on numerous sites what are the highest rated games.

    In my experience rating from critics are never accurate. They have such high expectations that most things suck.
