To those of you who celebrate it, happy Thanksgiving! And happy Thursday to everybody else! We'll be running a reduced shedule today, but we'll still be there, in the form of a few posts and also in your hearts (perhaps). Anyway, let's talk Turkey Day, and more specifically what role gaming will take in your Thanksgiving celebrations. As this is a time for families and togetherness, the Wii is probably the ideal Thanksgiving console. What will you be playing between mouthfuls of turkey and cranberry sauce?

Our extended family is going to have Thanksgiving Sunday because my uncle living in California won't make it to celebrate today.

I did bring my Wii home from school, but its only a 4-day vacation, so all that came with it was Sonic Unleashed
Either way, the family doesn't game at Thanksgiving. I, as a college freshman, am the youngest out of the set

I rented Sonic Unleashed. What a horrible piece of shit that game is.
I have to grate my teeth and do everything I can not to turn the game off so I can get to the fun fucking part of the game.
The platforming ware sonic portion is so unbearable. And the tacked on motion controls make it worse. And then there are those unskipable cutscenes with that fucking fairy who can't remember it's name, GGHRRRRR FUCK I DON'T CARE.
Sonic Team seems to have this thing against making a good fucking sonic game. They were SO close with this one. I love the regular levels.

I've yet to try Sonic Unleashed but I've heard some SUPERB things about the title. they say that the motion controls are great and that the platforming (which if my memory serves me right) takes place in the day and that's its great! I've heard the occasional complaints about the werehog levels but they say it doesn't mess the game up at all! as i previously said (in a different article) I'll be picking up Sonic Unleashed sometime in December ( =( wish it could've been earlier) once my wallet's had it's fill of cash.

well my older cousin beat me in super dodge ball and tecmo bowl, and then showed me his astounding ability in super c, i.e. his ability to beat the game without continueing once, and then me and the rest of my 24 cousins played round after round of bomberman 93'! WHAT A GREAT day for the VC and the wii at this house
