One thing that I absolutely hate is having to alt+tab in games, or having to play in windowed mode. I’d imagine that many other people probably feel the same way.

I’ve been on something of a wii-frenzy lately. It’s the only current-gen console I own (and the only 4th-gen console I will ever own) and I’m trying to “keep up” with the console by playing through all of the headliner games.
