My template is'nt exactly "new" to Blogger, but it's new to me. I like to keep thing's simple, one of the reason's I choose this look.

Do we really need more game consoles?

PS4, Ybox 540, Nintendo HDWii are just some of the ridiculous contemplated console names that I have come across. Do we really NEED another Playstation or Xbox? Well, I dont quite think so, but many others do. When consoles first come out, they are pretty pricey, and most average gamers cant afford to go out and buy another console just to play the latest addition the their favorite games. I will give some leeway by saying that new consoles dont come out every year, but when they do, the hardware quickly becomes obsolete. I for one play most of my games on my PC, which I update with the latest hardware and software almost monthly. On the other hand, you cant install new CPUs or GPUs into a console, so the latest and greatest PC is already 50 times more powerful than the newest console. In my opinion, PC gaming is the only way to stay up to date with all the latest technological advancements. I do however see the point in having game consoles. Whenever you buy a new PC game, there is usually a little sticker on the box that has the system requirements, and graphically heavy games like Crisis (which a lot of people were saying that you need a NASA supercomputer to run the game on full setting) require a high powered rig to even run. With console gaming, almost all games have just one standard default graphics setting, bloom setting etc... So that you dont have to drop even more money to upgrade your rig so you can play the game with the all the settings turned up. Consoles just make things easy to play games, and buying a console every so ofter isnt really so bad. So yes, as long as the consoles dont get up in to the thousands of dollars (This means you, Sony), and add new groundbreaking (not just better graphics) then keep the consoles coming! No, the Wiimote isnt groundbreaking, it hardly works. The Wii is a terrible console :P.

While Im waiting.....

It is nearly the end of a pretty long day. Allow me to elaborate. I recieved a Psp Go for Christmas, which is exactly what I wanted. The first game that I downloaded onto it was Final Fantasy VII, which took me all of Christmas day to download, since its over a gig. Now, today I decided to download Final Fantasy VIII, which is 1.8gb. Well, so far Ive had to restart the download twice. The first time it said something about timing out from the server, which means that it pinged the server to many times, before it lost contact. The second time my Psps screen went black, so Im assuming that my battery died, during the installation of the game. Which lefy me with 1,800mb of corrupted data that I had no choice but delete. Now, I have heard many times before that "third times the charm". Assuming that phrase is correct, the I shouldnt have a problem downloading it this time. The download has been going for around 2 hours, on a fast wifi connection. I truly hope it works this time......

Theres this really long line at AppleBees...

I really don't like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Yes, I am probably one in a million, but I cannot stand CoDMW2. Why? Well, the singleplayer was a huge letdown, only lasting me around 3 hours (I play A LOT of video games, its all I do). The overall experience of singleplayer was lack luster and rather uneventful. Given there was only one neat moment (where helicopters rain from the sky after being disabled by some kind of electromagnetic bomb that exploded over earths atmosphere), the singleplayer is totally forgetable, in my opinion. I dont buy games just for the multiplayer, as most people do nowadays, so I wasnt to interested in the already over-hyped multiplayer experience. All the perks and customisable loadout features sound cool, but killing people over and over and over and over again just to unlock new weapons is really repetative. The most high-powered weapon requires the player to be at least level 72 (which I think is the highest level you can reach). And reaching level 72 is the equivlent of getting over 10,000 kills, at least that is derived from my math. Getting 10,000 kills does not sound very amusing. So, since Im not fond of multiplayer, this game didnt last long on my game shelf (I sold it at Gamestop). In my opinion, the game is only living on hype, and is only another fad.
