pillar is crumbling

MS has been dropping the ball all year. They need to get back in the game. And get devs to release some more games. I guess there are more coming later in the year, but that's not really going to do them any good right now. Sony is still catching up, and that's never good. Especially with MGS4 coming out, and nothing to counter it on the 360.

I don't see how GTA4 can help or hurt either system. Of course, ideally more people would buy 360s to play it, but if they can't find one they won't. And most people won't know about/care about the exclusive DLC, so that won't affect their decision.

They need a lot more supply of Premium systems in retailers. In like the next two weeks. And they need a price drop at the same time. Not going to happen, of course. Sony is going to benefit from the launch of GTA4 by default.

Not to mention that their bribes and kickbacks to Warner Bros. have really been paying off for them because of the idiot fratboy crowd (who wants to watch BluRay movies on their 27 inch SD tv that's hooked up with the only cables included with the PS3 - composite.)

Before, I was just pi$$ed that Realtime Worlds was working on some stupid MMO grind rather than making Crackdown 2, but now I'm excited.

Top Spin Alley: Professor Layton first thoughts

nospam@example.com (NN) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:59:37 -0500

I bought Professor Layton on Sunday. I've played about 3 1/2 hours and solved around 55 puzzles. It's obvious at this point what's going on with the town, and why it's so strange, but it hasn't actually been solved yet.

Anyway, in my opinion the puzzles are way way too easy. Then again, I know it's a game, and probably for kids. I'd rather have a game with puzzles ten times harder where you don't lose the ability to get all the points if you guess incorrectly. Then again, I'd prefer puzzles that have a lot more than four possible correct answers so that isn't necessary.

These are just some first impressions, anyway. Maybe I'll feel differently once I finish the game. Anyway, at this point I won't be buying sequels. It's just too simple.

Games for 2k8

I have decided to compile a list of games I'm looking forward to in 2008, because I have no idea. I bought a Wii for SSBB and that's pretty much all I care about, even though I bought a bunch of other Wii games.

So, here we go. Keeping in mind I don't own a triple and don't plan on buying one anytime soon, unless they put PS2 compatibility back in, and have more than one game (Tekken 6, which isn't even out yet).

Xbox 360
Alan Wake (cmon already)
The Bigs 2 (not quite announced yet, but most likely in development)
Prototype (hell yes)
Soul Calibur IV (eh)
UT3 (I guess, if I have to)

XBLA
Castle Crashers
Ikaruga
SSF2 HD (I'm putting this here even though it probably won't be released until the earth crashes into the sun)
Doritos Dash of Destruction (:V)

Wii
The Wii has games now?! Holy crap! Since when?

PC
PC gaming?!? lol

I'm gonna have to figure out this whole spoiler thing, for the whiners. Because I have ideas. Also notions.

So anyway. Um. What ... what do you guys think? ....GONINTENDO STYLE! (That's where you act passive aggressive and retarded while clearly spouting your idiotic fanboy opinions, then pretending you care what anyone else thinks, just to get them to comment and click your ads. Also you have to be enormous and grow an unkempt neckbeard)
