So I haven't written in quite a while, although I've done a significant amount fo gaming since then. I just wanted to get down some of my impressions of yesterday's Pressers and the news that broke throughout the day before the Sony conference starts.

First of all, I thought Microsoft did a fantastic job, and I look to Sony to see if they can beat it (doubt it). Since I last write, I proudly bought a PS3 and have been playing it quite a bit. In fact, Killzone 2 and MGS4 are both currently two of my all time favorite titles...and they are both PS3 exclusives. With that said, I no longer consider myself affiliated with either brand. That's right, I am not a fanboy in the least. I've played all of the Sony consoles to death, yet they are usually the second console I buy every console cycle. To clerify, I do not own a Wii and likely never will. In my opinion, it's more of a novelty or toy than an actual game system, and this is reflected in the audience at large that they target. I consider myself a "core" gamer and I'm simply not interested in a lot of the titles, first party or third, that are being pushed onto the system. I'm also not really that interested in portable gaming, so the DS or any of their new SKUs also do not appeal to me. (Although I do have a PSP and recently bought Patapon 2 since it has been collecting dust).

It's running on 2:00 EST, which is the beginning of the Sony conference, and I must attend the Live stream. Now that i've written that little disclaimer about where I consider myself in the current gaming word, I can write up a full comparison following the Sony Conference. I will also probably be twitting my thoughts throughout the show. See you in 2 hours!
