I would be wary of ironing in the nude. People like Leo, Archie and me, can't risk having our wangs getting in the way all the time.

This week that passed, I beat Baldur's gate: Dark Alliance (review posted).  I played, in passing:

- Flatout for the XB.  Not bad, but not great. very shallow vehicle upgrades in career mode and rubber-banding AI that was absolutely ridiculous.  Good tracks and car destruction though.  Not good enough to play to completion.

- FF3 (DS) Picked it up again for 3 more hours.  I've played this game on and off since it came out.  I hate the bubble headed graphics and I'm just not into it.  I'll play the SNES version from scratch rather than finish this.

What I'm playing now:

+ Chrono Trigger DS.  It's finally starting to come together, but this is not a perfect game.  Regions are open even if you have not triggered the events that are supposed to have happened prior to you going to those regions, so you spend a lot of time "clicking" on everything trying to get something to happen.  Like I said, it's finally coming together.

+ Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II (PS2).  Not much to say yet.

+ 50 Cent Blood on the Sand (PS3). This is a great game.  Think Gears of War meets Stranglehold.  Great soundtrack, fun and funny.  Little easy though, I'm playing on the default difficulty.

Hoping to wrap up all three games before Yakuza 3 arrives with my monthly box of games and manga from "america".

Whoops. I too vote for sexy man-beast number 3. I would say I just jizzed in my pants, but I'm not wearing any!

Yay!

Much better!

That being said, I just can't see a reason to prefer Wii over the other consoles. Now let me scratch ma ballz and go play some games.

One of my favourite genre is platformers 2d and 3d. Which console do you think I would prefer?

The PS3?

I think it can handle platformers at least as good as the Wii.

Yeah sure it can, in theory. But I have no time for such hypothetical situations. I see a console with Galaxy, Galaxy 2, NSMBWii, de Blob, Boy and his Blob, Icarian, Wario Land Shake, Lost Winds 1 and 2, Bit Trip Runner, Epic Mickey, de Virtual console (Snes does not work anymore) and the situation is quite clear.

Plus where are the lightgun games on the HD consoles (not my preferred genre but some people like them)? Or where in the shoot em up like Sin and Punishment 2 on the other consoles? Games like Endless Ocean or LKS (not even sure it what genre to put those two in), Rune Factory and more.

Or what about Metroid and Zelda like games? Trilogy, Twilight, etc.

There are enough reasons to prefer the Wii.

But what I'm saying is, why would I WANT to play any of these games on the Wii, if I could be playing them on the PS3?

Obviously any great game that comes out on Wii I'm more than willing to play if that's the only place I CAN play it. But if I had my choice, I'd pick the PS3 every time.

I mean if Miyamoto came up to me and said "Well Edge, should we go ahead and make Zelda on Wii or the PS3?" obviously I would be insane to pick the Wii when Zelda on PS3 could offer anything Zelda on Wii could, and then some.

This this this this this

Fuck Final Fantasy 13. Behold the power of Square on the Wii bitches!!!

How about

I bet it will have cities

Btw stop acting like a 13 year old. You'd take everything on PS3 if publishers and devs had unlimited funds to make everything in the top possible quality which would be stupid because then if they had such unlimited funds they could make everything for PC (or said supercomputers) so that they would be even better games and if and if and if, hello, return to the the real world please, the Wii has games worth playing, deal with it or don't, just grow up. Did you constantly whine and cry last gen when devs didn't make all games on the original Xbox but instead favorited the PS2 for most everythiing or what? And what exactly are you doing here, port/remake begging or something? What's your point? Software is king, certain (many) people like Wii (or PSP, or DS) games and so have and enjoy the system, where exactly is the problem that deserves such heated debate? What's your goal with this? The generation doesn't start when the Move is launched, many people already have settled on system choices, and even you have settled on PS3 instead of bother hooking up your PC in the living room for some top tech couch gaming, why are you so angry others may settle on even lower tech hardware, as long as they enjoy the games on it?

What is this?

What did I play this week..... good question. God of War Chains of Olympus since I'm jonesing for GoW3 and can't play it. Sadly I was better off not playing this. Very disappointing....

...Such an enjoyable game for me, though I did break the nub off my PSP when playing it.

It wasn't bad. I just had my expectations too high. One of the things I really enjoyed the most about the God of War games was the story.  Yes it's Greek mythology at its worst, but it's a fun and unique take on those established legends.  But due to the file size constrictions a lot of that had to be sacrificed and the story was mostly told through a narrator.

In fact it wasn't until that final hour of the game after Atlas was released that I really felt the story had gone anywhere at all.  That last hour was very good though, and I did enjoy the climax of the game, but after I was done I just felt myself disappointed and wondering, "was that all of it?"  

 Yeah, I can see that.  The PS2 games had some involving stories (it was a non-entity in the PSP game).  I kind of focus on the gameplay more than story (as has been covered elsewhere).  I was amazed by the capabilities of the PSP as well.
