Nintendo Wii Downloads - What's the Best Way to Go About It?

For anyone that has played the Nintendo Wii you know how addicting it can be and if you haven't tried the system try it and you will understand. The problem with addictions is that they are normally pretty expensive and this one is no different....well that was before the idea of Wii game downloads (okay I admit downloading games is not new but the Wii is new so that is why I call it a new idea). After the solution of the expense of Wii ownership came along it was followed by the "Internet" age old question how can I do it safely and legally. For anyone that has been on the Internet for a few years you know the problems that have plagued it concerning downloading files from the net, and downloading Wii games is just another type of file.

A good site to download Wii games from will be a site that offers solutions to these problems. A great site offers to solutions to these problems plus an easy-to-use interface, great customer support, a huge selection of games, and a guide to using the service.

Most reputable Wii game downloads sites are around $40-50 dollars, the cost of just one game, for a lifetime membership so price isn't really going to play a factor picking between one or another. Also all of the services offer music, movies, and TV shows along with games that you can download so that also really isn't a big consideration or selling point of one over the other, but it is still a definite plus for all of them.

Anyone that has used the internet to download something knows how easy it is to get someone messing with your computer planting a virus or stealing some sort of private information and in today's world the problem is even bigger and more real then it was a few years ago. Anytime you download something you are opening yourself up for someone to maliciously attack your computer so you have to always know what you are downloading and where it is coming from. The problem with old peer-to-peer services was that you left yourself open to everyone because you had to lower all of your defenses to share files. Thankfully that problem can be solved by using a service that isn't an old school P2P sharing site and also does not have ads or spyware built into the service.

The other problem with old fashion P2P sites is that now they are illegal so you have to now make sure that you are downloading from a site where you aren't breaking the law. This is obviously something that any reputable service is going to have to provide but it still needs to be said that you have to make sure that wherever you download something you are doing it in a legal way. As long as you make sure whatever service you are using falls within these boundaries you will have made a wise choice for yourself and your game playing needs.

How to Play All Classes in the Too Human Demo

Too Human takes a cyber punk retelling of Norse mythology. Instead of the typical gods that you would expect to see, the Norse gods are cybernetically enhanced humans. You play Baldur, one of their gods. In fact, you are the son of Odin. As the son of Odin, it is your job to keep watch over and protect the human race from an approaching army of machines led by the demented Loki and bent on the destruction of mankind.

There are five classes you can choose to play, but the demo only allows the option to play the Champion. With five choices and only one option, one can feel a little unsure of whether or not to buy this game to make the final decision.

How about trying all of the classes?

Berserker

With the Berserker you will find they favor fast, close-quarters combat. They are the only class in the game that can dual-wield swords or staffs.

Defender

The Defender's job is to be the tank. Massive amounts of armor makes him a perfect beating post to ensure the enemy's attention is on no one but him, so that his allies with less armor can unload their fury upon the enemies around him.

Commando

The Commando is your tactical, long-range combat class. This class can stand in the back and deal out explosions and damage if your defender can keep the attention of all of the enemies before you. If you don't have a defender around, the Commando can summon spiders that have their own array of attacks to distract foes.

Champion

The Champion is your overall balance of armor and damage. He can help the defender manage baddies around him, but can also do his fair share of damage to wipe out anything in front of him.

Bio Engineer

This is the guy who is going to ensure everyone in your group is going to stay alive. With different ways to heal both himself and the party, he is a highly needed addition to any group fighting against the forces of Loki.

"Great," you are thinking. "But how do I get to play all these awesome classes in the demo?" Silicon Knights have not forgotten you, but you are going to have to work for it. They have put this in as an intentional Easter egg for those who want to get as much as they can out of the demo.

To get these classes in the Too Human demo, you need to use a different kind of cheat code.

After you have finished downloading the demo, disconnect your Xbox Live. If you don't do this, then you will not be able to play as any of the other classes except the Champion.

Once you have disconnected from Xbox Live, go to the console settings in your Xbox menu, select the clock setting and change the date to 2009. Xbox Live sets your clock automatically if you are connected.

Now that you have done this, go back into the demo, and you will be able to play the game in the Berserker or the Commando class.

For the Defender or Bio Engineer classes, you need to select the character and over and over as fast as you possibly can for 4 to 5 seconds, and then press either left or right.

Now that you can play all the classes, you can get more out of your demo of Too Human. Be sure to check out the rest of the cheat codes for Too Human at: http://www.xboxcheatcodes.com

What's Next For The Nintendo Wii?

One of the interesting, new developments with the Nintendo Wii system is the Mii Channel. The Mii system allows you to create 3-D avatars on your Wii system. Nintendo is launching an online Mii Channel that will allow users to share these avatars and vote on them. Wii users love the ability to create avatar models of themselves, their friends, and families to take part in traditional video game roles. The increase in video games allowing users to manifest as their own Mii is also sure to increase. As users can save their Mii on their Wii system and use the same avatar to play different games, it is also hoped that this system will advance to allow the avatars to enter into other online virtual worlds. The future for this system has a lot of possibilities for video game players. An advanced Mii system will first have to incorporate better design tools and graphics for the avatars.

Users will want to spend their time to create avatars with all of the characteristics they need to enter and play the video games. These avatars should also be able to incorporate their own tools or gadgets from game to game, or platform to platform. Having the avatars able to be customized in this manner, different avatars with various configurations of features, accessories, spells, and so forth can be saved on the game box like the Wii. If the Mii avatar can be made to apply in a wider variety of game applications, including online MMORG environments, then it will be an interesting success.

The worry is that allowing avatars to carry gadgets from other systems in games that were not designed for them could completely change the game itself. But the advantages of having an avatar with all of the attributes, accessories, and additions one wants ready, before entering the game's environment to participate is clear. The ability to carry acquisitions found in one game by the avatar into another game is also interesting. A lot of new possibilities for video game development exist in the further expansion of the Mii avatar on the Nintendo Wii gaming system, and into other platforms.
