Week In Review - Volume 2

January 13th, 2007 I feel a 'Wii' bit left out Riley, OH is a small town, and let me tell you only having a few stores here, it's very hard buying a console, in fact when I picked up my PS3 December 18th, I was very surprised I got my hands on one. I thought I'd get my hands on the Wii before a PS3, but boy how have the tables turned. I will however mention, my hopes we're crushed by a bald man who arrived to the electronics department before me. It made me bicker, oh well I can wait. I have time to spare. Microsoft buying Capcom? I've thought I heard this a few years ago? Yup. I don't think it would happen, but it would certainly cause an outrage to many gamers. I know Microsoft wants to badly break into the Japanese market, but please do so by not acquiring Capcom. I don't feel like shelling out for an Xbox 360 at the current moment, until it actually catches my appeal. The games for it too me are a little overrated, with the exception of Gears of War, and Dead Rising. While you may think I am a bit fanboyish, there's just not a lot of games that appeal to me in 07 to be honest. Capcom is one of my favorite game developers, and I'd prefer them to make games for all platforms. PlayStation 3 to the Media= Lackluster It hasn't been out for even two months, and it's catching a lot of heat. Everyone is choppin' at the bit at Sony's heel and to me it's unfair, considering it hasn't been out for two months. The GS forums are overflowing with sales numbers, disappointments, complaints, well if you have a problem with it I have two suggestions: wait it out until there's a price drop, or more games to appeal to you, if not than don't buy it all. Your problem is solved. CES 2007 CES 2007 was a bit of a disappointment to me this year-- while it's cool Sony has unveiled six classic Midway games, where are some of the highly-anticipated games? Why don't you tell us what you plan on doing when the firmware update is available when the PS3 launches in Europe? Also Cisco's lawsuit against Apple to me was uncalled for. As for the iPhone, it looks pretty cool, but there's no way in hell I am going to sign up for it, if it's being offered by one carrier, and for the price, I just don't think a $500-$600 is worth my money. While you may argue I spent $600 on a PS3, well two things: I love games, and it will be a smart investment down the road. I'll stick with my T-Mobile service thank you. Xbox Well one of my fellow friends sold me his Xbox, with two controllers, and 40 games for $210, which is not a bad deal at all, as he was saving up for a PS3, and I am gladly enjoying some of the games I've missed, especially Panzer Dragoon Orta, Crimson Skies, MechAssault, and much more. Although I've been playing Crimson Skies the most-- the gameplay is amazing, and the graphics are very good even to todays standards.
GAME RECOMMENDATION OF THE WEEK
Wave Race 64, Nintendo 64
Wave Race 64 is one of the N64's timeless classic, and one of the best games of all time on the N64. If you've forgotten about how fun it was to jet-ski on water, popping Wave Race 64 isn't a bad choice at all.
