I always thought I was an “RPG” player and fanboy.. but I find I have less time to devote to trundling through long stories and prefer just to relieve some stress. I would say my favourite genres right now, in no particular order are: First-person shooters (Counter-strike, Call of Duty), Third-person shooters (Metal Gear Solid, Gears) and Action RPG’s. Action RPG’s encompass a slightly wider scope of games but generally qualify if they still have some sort of real-time fighting system such as Zelda, or Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I’m definitely not a fanboy, having owned systems by Sega, Sony, Nintendo and now Microsoft..

First I had the Wii (which I still have but am debating on whether or not its worth keeping or selling while the value is still high) and I would make arguments like.. ahh even though it looks like its a N64 game, its still fun because the actions kinda make it more interesting. And now with the X-box 360, I’ve decided I would easily trade that arm-waving action for some really good graphics. That being said, it shows while the graphics are a weak point, there’s still many hours of fun to be had beating up people.

I think the systems really cater to competely different things. There’s just no imagining playing Assasin’s Creed or Lost Planet on a Wii.. while on the flip side, there’s no Cooking Mama or Tennis on the 360.

The 360 vs the PS3 is a whole different matter though, they’re both essentially made up of: one part personal computer and one part graphics card, and are much more directly in competition. Which wins out? At THIS level I think I could say graphics are a non-factor in the comparison. I am perfectly happy with the level of graphics of the 360. I personally think PS3 has the edge on technology (although Gears of War would beg to differ) but now it really comes down to the games. The following is a list of games which I like, look cool or I wanna play:

(These are ALL in-game shots. The only one I’m not sure about is Battlefield: Bad Company because its from the teaser trailer. But the bottom of the trailer says its the in-game engine)

heh, this is pretty cool, start your own apple rumors here!

UPDATE @ 6:09pm : wohoho.. Out of Foreign Customs! (in 6 minutes too.. maybe it’ll be $0 duty!) Could it be a pre-weekend delivery..! Too bad it’s USPS.. which means it’ll stay in the post office. But I can pick them up Saturday at least.

Stepped on my crumpler, didn’t even say sorry.

Maybe I’m being petty.
It’s been a long day.

Apparently, we’re in the middle of nowhere in the South Atlantic Ocean.
