It's not the Wii's fault you have no coordination, man. </cynic's approach>

Just because you want to hate the system doesn't make it reality. Open-mindedness is key. Wii controls aren't perfect for hairpin turns, but they're much more precise. You might have gotten good with analogue controls, but FPS honestly doesn't translate too well to analogue. Maybe a double-joystick approach would be more appropriate, ala Descent. Still, the Wii's point-to-aim approach is pretty efficient and fun to use.

Yeah, I'd love to see more rail-shooters. Umbrella Chronicles is a step in the right direction.

360-wise, I'm most interested in Lost Planet. I haven't actually seen it, and I remember the concept looked pretty rad. Capcom tends to make games that are either amazingly good or frighteningly awful. I also want to know more about Alan Wake. Despite it's general unoriginality as far as other media goes, I'm not used to seeing that kind of indepth and solid concept in videogames. Things people consider to be realistic/reality based are always war games or GTA styled crap. Resident Evil is cool, but it's more along the lines of a B-rated movie than something particularily classy.
