Ah, the week before Thanksgiving, and you know what that means…. Gaming console releases.
If you know me, you know I can’t stand Sony Products, and I still can’t. I haven’t really seen the PS3 yet, and I probably won’t be for a while, considering that all my friends who bought one are putting it directly on ebay for some idiot to pay 2k for.
As far as the Wii goes, I think I’m moving toward less noise, more signal. I thought that the Wii can go either of two paths. Gimmicky, or frigging cool. I mean, how much replay value does swinging your arms around with a remote control have besides being able to laugh at whomever is playing? But I think my friend playing Trama Center changed my opinion. The control mechanism seemed very innovative, and although I didn’t play the game, it seemed really cool. However, how many games are like trama center? I mean… not that many games are going to take to using the candy bar Wiimote as a pointer.
Anyway. I wish more people would read this thing. It would make me want to write in it more.
I actually think the pointer will be used in a lot of their games…whether it’ll just be a useless option I don’t know, but I’m sure they’ll find ways of integrating it……but isnt the point of video games for us to excercise solely our brains and our Adductor Pollicis muscles??? Look it up if you have to.
I read your blog all the time – but I just forgot my password and was too lazy to reset it until now.
