Here’s a little something for the Nintendo Fanboys. Big thanks to Gamespot for all the quality E3 coverage this year and opening it back up to the public!



I don’t know how I feel about the Wii Motion Plus hardware. It is cool that the Wii was so affordable in the beginning, it is also great that Nintendo is trying to improve the gamers experience, but I feel if they wouldn’t have skimped with the 3D accelerometer in the first place they wouldn’t have had to bother with Nintendo Motion Plus in the long run. None the less, what is done, is done. Now it is time to move forward. I mos def don’t want to be dropping another $40 a remote. On top of that it looks like one will need to get all new rubber grips… which doesn’t bother me since I don’t use them in the first place. I am definitely looking forward to “Wii Sports Resorts”. This looks like the first game that will let you, if you choose to do so, try out the Motion Plus (MP) for the first time. As for the new Super Mario Bros game… well, I was over side scrolling action Mario games when Mario 64 came out, and that is that. The one game I am really looking forward to is the new Zelda game. Miyamoto states in the interview that he is pushing for MP to be intergraded into the game, if this happens, I will mos def shatter my record of over 109 hours of game play for Twilight Princess. Oh and Mr. Miyamoto, may I push for one thing, “ALLOW FOR OPEN GAMEPLAY AFTER GANNONDORF IS DEFEATED!!!”

Hello Gamers!

Greetings. This is my first entry - do know that I hope to deliver a product that is slightly counter to the typical GTA- and Madden-fueled obsessions of the modern male Gen Y gamer (a bit stereotypical?). So yes, I am not really a big fan of these games, just personal preference. Feel free to hate.

But on to what I’ve just finished playing: Mass Effect. EPIC WIN. You play the role of Commander Shepard, a human military officer and godsend who is called to investigate a rare artifact left by the now-extinct, once-legendary Protheans. The catch is that you’re not the only one looking for this thing; your missions take you to various planets dealing with hostile forces in search of the ultimate meaning of this piece of history. And that meaning turns out to be…yeah I’m not gonna tell you.

Truth be told, I haven’t enjoyed delving into the story of a game so much since I played BioShock. The game has all the ingredients of a great action-RPG: an ocean of backstory and knowledge to be gained about the galactic inhabitants, a compelling storyline and a main character who’s interesting, and lastly a wonderfully constructed web that weaves all of these entities together, one that creates dynamics among the species, their choices, and the environments they live in. In short, the game does a pretty good job of recreating life and many of its complexities.

There are quite a few side quests, as with most RPGs, but I was so immersed in the main story I couldn’t help but forge ahead to see how the main story eventually panned out. You’re also given a Codex of data to help you better understand all of the people, places, and ideas you encounter throughout your missions, and you meet some cool side characters who help you along the way. Oh and there’s also a controversial scene you can opt into if you make the right choices. Let’s just say the scene involves Shepard and a female alien. If you’re into that sort of thing, give me a call.

All in all, this game’s a phenomenal play. I don’t normally tout graphics, but the level of detail in this game is probably the best I’ve seen for the 360 to date. It’s incredible just how attentive the makers of this game were…so please, give it a spin!

First, please take a look at this video ---> Project Natal


With this latest development by Microsoft, I simultaneously had two thoughts: 1. Looks like Microsoft is taking Nintendo’s idea of abolishing the classic hand held controller to the next level. 2. What does this mean for Nintendo?

Rarely do I gloat, for I see it as a very elementary form of communication of success but… I told you so. I don’t care, call me a kid, I do still feel like one at heart anyways! As I have said before, “…the Wii is not an undying fad but rather a trend setter.” Now with saying that; Nintendo, it’s time to pull out all the stops at E3, cause if all you have are exclusive game announcements… well, it ain’t goin’ to be prêt-tay. Granted, Project Natal must still prove that it works as fluidly as Microsoft claims, but if it does, I fear not even the huge reset button of releasing Wii version 2.0 would save it from certain doom… at least not until the next generation consoles are released.
