Oh how many times i have heard the argument! You know the one! The battle that has been waged since the days of the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis. This console is better! No, this console is better! What shames me is that i used to be one of these 'fan boys'. I have to agree, however, that there are superior console..... in a sense. Take the playstation 3 for example: a power house with a ton of extras built in. The 360 right under it with noticably less features. So here is my point: Why would i buy one cosole because it has a fancy dvd player or a shiny online service but it doesn't have the games i want to play? Does a console make the games? No, they don't.

Buying a console is of personal choice. The Wii has mario. The 360 has Halo. The ps3 has Metal Gear. Buy a console for its games and your own personal preference of what you like to play. Shut your mouth about which one is better and start arguing over which game is better if you have to argue about something! Or you could be one of the rare ones, like myself, who enjoy every console and their games and features they have to offer, for what they are!

SO SHUT UP AND SPREAD THE LOVE INSTEAD OF STARTING ARGUMENTS ONLY IDIOTS WOULD START!

Here are a few upcoming games that I am extremely excited about. Leave some comments stating the games that you are excited about playing so we can see everyones personal tastes!

Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Turok

Metal Gear Solid 4

Condemned 2

Grand Theft Auto 4

Let's keep adding to the list!

Here is a few titles that i hold close but is surprising to me how so few people have actually played let alone heard of them.

Omikron: the Nomad Soul: David Cage is a genious story teller and this title does an excellent job of making you feel as if you are an actual part of this cyber punk action thriller. The game is long and has many twists and turns. It is ingenuitive in which it uses many formulas from other genres to make it what it is. It blends a traditional 3rd person adventure game with fps shooting and mortal kombat fighting with a sprinkle of lite role playing elements. Even with its many flaws this game captured me and still holds its place as one of the most captivating games i have ever played.

Second Sight : Story is one of my favorite parts to a game. If a story is amazing and the actual gameplay sucks then i can normally look over the downfall of the game. Second Sight's story is amazing! But by no means is its gameplay bad either. Enter a world where you play someone who suddenly awakens in a hospital all bandaged and discovers he has extroidanary mental powers to boot. You are quickly thrust into a world of action and the supernatural as you search to uncover what happened to you. Throughout the game you have 'flashbacks' in which you see things prior to what is happening in the present. But as you play these segments you seem to be able to change what happened in the past through your visions! The game still holds the greatest twist to any game in my eyes and is something i can experience over and over! If you haven't expereinced it... you should!

Indigo Prophecy: As i have said before: David Cage is amazing! This title is a little more popular but still qualifies, at least in my book, as 'unheard of'. This is one of the most unique games more impart becaue it really isn't a game when you think about it. It's a movie. One which you controll by timed button presses and responses. This 'movie' has multiple endings and is a masterpiece of superb story telling. Don't go in expecting a shooting or fist flying expereince....go in expecting the true art of making a game: Story!

I'm pretty tired as of now so if i think of anymore i will update my list!

I was raised in a loving home where i was always told to "help thy neighbor". Being taught to lend a helping hand to those in need was a mojar part of my upbringing and i pride myself even today on helping those less fortunate than myself. Well, the other night was yet another lesson learned on the road called life, but one quite opposite than helping others who need it.

I was working late at my second job and i didn't get home till around ten o' clock. I threw on some spider-man pajamas and an old t-shirt and then proceeded to plop down on the couch to get some Call of Duty 4 time in. I was just signing into Xbox Live when a rapid knock sounded on the front door. Who the bloody hell could that be?, I thought to myself as my dogs began to bark from the back room. I opened the door and to my surprise a complete stranger was standing there in front of me. Immediatly she began to speak, leaving me without a single chance to even say: hello?

"I'm good people!", she said, "My car ran out of gas and i'm trying to make it back home. All i need is a ride to my niece's house to get some gas money."

Now that i can look back i can definatly see what i should have done. I should have simply said, "Well here, let me call your niece for you and she can come pick you up." But stupid me decided to simply throw on a pair of old shoes and jump in the car to take her to her niece's. All the while still in my spider-man pjs!

So, here I go, taking a complete stranger across town, freezing cold, without even a jacket to keep me warm. Belive me, those paper thin pajamas with the numberous spideys staring up at me weren't going to do the job!

So we get to her Niece's, right? Her niece isn't there she says. Could you take me to my "other niece's" she says. And once again i can't say no, but remember how i was raised? I now realize that all that upbringing has taught my mind one thing: to never be able to say no. So i take her to her other niece's house.

We get there and i'm in probably the worst part of town scared half to death. I could see people peaking out of their run down house's windows glaring at me and i could just invision myself getting shot because someone fancied my really fancy 99' grand am with the muddy fenders and scratched and peeling paint! But the woman had said, "please don't drive off and leave me, please, i'll be right back". Oh God how i wish she wouldn't have said that because i would have drove off in a heart beat if i hadn't of felt just that much more sorry for her! So I wait. And wait. Then she finally comes back. Her Niece wasn't there she says. Can i have some Money she says. No I say. By this time I have made my mind up to just take her back to her car. I've done all i can now and I'm sorry but you'll have to find some other way.

Now, we were driving back and she was still asking me for money when i saw in my rear view mirror, yea, you guessed it, red and blue lights. Dear Lord in heaven those red and blue lights! I didn't know wether to feel doomed for being pulled over or feel rescued by my own personal saviour! All in all there were three cops, all there lights blinding me to the point that i could barely see past my dashboard. The first cop approached on my side and the second approached on the passenger side.

"Driver's License and Registration please."

Oh God! I left my wallet at home! I let the officer know this and it seemed to be no problem, thank god, and he simply called it in to check if i was telling the truth and i had a license.

"Do you know Ms. Fox here?", the cop asked.

"No sir", i answered and then proceeded to tell him the story. About this time i hear the other officer ask 'Ms. fox' if she had any dope on her. Great...

"Did you know that she is on parolle for posession?"

Double great...

"No sir"

"You normally give rides to strangers?"

"No but i was raised to always lend a helping hand where i can."

Yea i pretty much felt like an idiot by then.

"Well", the cop said,"The house you just dropped her off at was just busted for dealing coke two minutes after you left."

I had to stop myself from laughing out loud. Not because it was funny, (at the time it was anythign but comical) but because of the irony. Here i was transporting a possible coke user from my place to a crack house! What luck hu? To make a long story short (to late) I let them search my car, all the while hoping Ms. Fox hadn't planted anything in it, and I was frisked by a big burly man that probably thought my Spidey pants were just amazing! Of course i was found with nothing on me and my car and surprisignly neither was the woman! After all that was said and done the first cop asked if i still wanted Ms. Fox in my car and i promptly answered: NO SIR!

The only thing i got was a warning that my windshield had a crack in front of my view and my license plat wasn't illuminated at night time! I had even told them that i don't have any tickets on my record which makes it even more funny when you think about it! Here i am, a person who upholds the law and stays out of trouble and me and my car and getting searched for narcotics! All you can do is laugh about it i guess.

Needless to say i went straight home and capped some terrorists on COD4 to relieve some stress and rethink my plan of helping people out. Believe me when i say that some times its just not worth it.
