The Year That Was: Revisited

Just explain/expand.

Ok, my 360 has provided me with games that have literally expanded the idea of what I thougth video games could accomplish as an artform, from graphics and sound to expansive storytelling (I only leave out the PS3 because I do not own one). The Wii simply could not recreate games like Mass Effect, Bioshock, etc in all their splendor. Compared to the Wii, the 360 is simply a broader canvass that gives the author access to better tools to create the most beautiful art possible.

Meanwhile, the Wii doesn't supply that broad canvass, but what it does provide are active games that get you up and moving, most of the time with people (real live people in person!) and actually helps build and maintain interpersonal relationships. And even if for the most part I haven't found the experience "mind expanding" it has been really fun as a social gaming system.

Does that help clarify?
