So many good RPGs... it's like 2006-08 all over again!
Arcania maybe...
Risen 2 definitely
Fo:NV
Witcher 2
Dragon Age 2
Two Worlds 2 maybe...
...and then there's Fable 3. Which I would be much more enthusiastic about if I'd played Fable 2, I suppose, but that's Microsoft's Expensive Gaming Hardware Exclusivity Initiative for you...

El_Caz: By the way, wasn't Gamescon the event GOG was asking for ideas on what to do and they needed guerrilla tactics because they didn't have a booth? What did they end up doing? Because whoever thought up that Witcher 2 cardboard dolls thingy is a genius and GOG should have asked him instead.

It's a really cool form of advertising it, indeed.

Wishbone: Yes, well the problem with the Wii is... that it sucks, basically. Wii Sports is fun for half an hour every month or so. Beyond that, the platform really fails to deliver anything worthwile.

HoneyBakedHam: Hell yes it sucks. (except for that one game where you race cows on a steeple chase track)
But it sucks because the games suck... not because the concept or hardware sucks.

I think it does. The Wii controller is much too limited. It's designed for motion capture (and it doesn't even do that well), with "normal" controls sort of tacked on as an afterthought. I know you can buy other controllers for the Wii, but really you shouldn't have to. If the default controller of a gaming platform is unsuitable for playing most games, then the platform fails on a hardware level.
Of course, it doesn't help that most Wii games are crap too. But on the whole, it seems like the whole thing was designed with Wii Sports in mind, and nothing else.
