I had recently ordered an iMac 2.66 GHz. Today it finally came in. I know it has 4GB of RAM and a 500 something or other of hard drive. I am not a big computer wiz, nor am I a big computer gamer, but my other laptop was quiet ancient. So I updated. I got all these upgrades because I wanted a good computer so I could play games. WAIT A SECOND! Before you do or say anything keep in mind that I am aware that Mac's do not get most of the PC games. But as i said, I am not a big PC gamer. Most of the games I'd play would be the most popular ones, and the most popular ones are mostly made for both the PC and Mac. I ordered WOW the other day, so I cannot wait to waste my life away for hours upon that. Also, I have put aside enough money to buy two PS3 games. The icing on the cake? I get a month and three days off of school after my finals this coming week. So what am I to do with this time off? One can only wonder. But I have a feeling this week is the calm before the storm. And by storm, I mean me playing video games for a whole month.
I saw a commercial for the new XBOX game called, You're In The Movies which was advertised impeccably by Bert Reynolds. Not. It seems as thought the whole idea of this, "motion capture camera fun" thing, isn't really taking off like it should. And it has gotten to the point where it seems like people are trying to PUSH this idea onto us. Playstation, I am talking to you. Sony was very focused on it's Playstation Eye for a long time, but what really happend to it? Who cares. Recently in LittleBigPlanet there are certain collectables that you get which can be used only if you have the Playstation Eye. It's as if Sony doesn't really talk about it but try to throw it back into games every now and then and say, "hey this rules!!!!!." And now Microsoft has decided to jump in the pool to get a shot at this wonderful marketing success. Who is really entertained by the video of themselves running like fools from a monster in a 60 year old movie? Maybe if you get about 30 people together they MIGHT have fun. Give them a bunch of alcohol? Maybe. Pay them to pretend like they like it? Works like a charm.
