Shia LaBeouf Slams the Wii


Wii [http://www.transformersmovie.com/] recently, dismissing it as an "amateur console."

As well as providing his voice for the Activision videogame [http://www.transformersgame.com/] based on the new movie, LaBeouf, a self-described gamer, also offered feedback on the original Transformers movie game, one result of which is the new online gameplay available in the sequel. Many of the updates and improvements in the second movie will also be visible in the videogame, so it "should be a better game," he said, but he admitted that he wasn't familiar with the Wii version of the game and had no plans to become so in the future.

"I haven't been able to play the Wii game because my hand is broken. I've just been playing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3," he said in an interview with Big Download [http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/06/18/interview-transformers-shia-labeouf-loves-civilization-iv/]. "I would imagine that the Wii experience will be like... I don't mess with the Wii, to be honest with you. It's kind of an amateur console. I'm not into the Wii thing."

"This is how in a simple way you can find out if it's a gamer you want to play with," he added. "Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the f--k out of there."

That's a bit overly judgmental for my liking but it's possible that LaBeouf is just that hardcore. How hardcore is he? He said he's a big fan of LEGO Star Wars [http://www.civilization.com/] with Megan Fox on the set of Transformers 2 because he doesn't like the game. "Who wants to play the Wii version of LEGO Star Wars?" he asked. "I'd rather eat glass."

But he assisted in the murder of both Transformers and Indiana Jones! Why do we care what he thinks?

Touché.

I'm not too big of a Wii fan, but this is kinda... eh, maybe he just got swept away in the moment.

I think that might have some consequences in the future.

Anyways, when I saw the title, I thought: Pwn'd!

The Wii isn't THAT BAD. Its just that it wasn't really made for hardcore gamers.

Though it's odd. It seems like he's not hardcore.

I find it kind of funny. I'm a pretty hardcore gamer myself and even I own a Wii.

I just don't turn it on very often.

Didn't he admit to having an alcohol problem in the new Parade? I mean, not that I'm saying one thing effects another, but... Honestly, I don't mind him denouncing the Wii. I think he's wrong about calling it "amateur," because it's clearly not, but yes, I don't particularly care for it either.

Also, Shia, as a male gamer, you have an obligation to not portray our demographic poorly to Megan Fox. Or any other woman, for that matter. You have failed in that obligation.

I think that playing Lego: Star Wars with Megan Fox is less about playing Lego: Star Wars with Megan Fox and more about playing Lego: Star Wars with Megan Fox. Then again, he's worked with her before.

Either way, it's Shia freakin' LaBeouf. Who cares what he says? He was only good in Holes. After that it was the same role over and over again. It's like he has Nicholas Cage sindrome.
