Well, it's a new year, and a brand new start for all game console companies. This is the year where Microsoft finally gets to test its console against the other game giants: The Big N and Sony. I've seen what they've had to offer, and this is my view on all of them.

The most impressive overall, in my opinion, was the Wii. Nintendo redeemed themselves with their Wii, despite caling it a Wii. It should be a Nintendo's revolution! But no, it's just their Wii. Anyway, mocks aside, this console showed all the skeptics how it's going to change gaming forever. Never has Mario looked so interesting since his N64 days. Super Smash Brothers Brawl looks great, and OMG it's Snake!!!!! Overall, a fantastic presentation.

Yet Microsoft's console stole some of the Wii's limelight in my opinion. I was amazed with what Bioshock has to offer, and Mass Effect looks absolutely dazzling. Microsoft also wanted a showing of their big IPs to be on the safe side, so Halo 3, Forza 2 and Fable 2 took up the rear. Although not much gameplay was shown, you know it sent a shiver up Sony's spine.

Which brings me to Sony. Seriously Sony, W T F???!!! No one in their right minds would say the conference was a success. It flopped. The only saving grace was Metal Gear Solid 4, which was just awesome, by the way.  But don't worry, cows, you still get a major leap in next gen gaming. How about real time weapon switching and giant crabs? It's all authentic Japanese history, so it's got to be good ;).

There you have it. My two cents. I hope all the gaming giants will be able to move on to the future with bright ideas and more immersive IPs.
