Last night was my first chance to play a Wii. I hooked it up and went through the settings to get everything how I wanted it and this took me about an hour mainly because I have my wireless network secured and had to get the Wii configured to work with my security. After that I set up my Mii (avatar that looks like me for Mii enabled games). Then I put in No More Heros and started going through the tutorials...... I was blown away. I mean WOW there is something so engaging about moving the controls with the game and No More Heros is so "over the top" with its presentation and combat that I was completely taken away. I couldn't stop playing last night or telling my friends today how amazing of an experience it was. I am what you could call a hardcore gamer and not a casual gamer so I have always wondered what my experience would be like with the Wii. I had a good feeling I would like it because the type of games coming out looked great and have received spectacular reviews. Well, I am hugely impressed and can't express enough in words how much fun it is to play the Wii. When you have friends over it is just such an addictive thing and the controls are so intuitive.

I highly recommend getting a Wii even if your a hardcore gamer like myself. Nintendo has really done something special here and I think their plans for world domination are definately a lot closer than we all thought.

Have fun!

It finally happened... I called Gamestop and asked if they had any Wii's and they said YES!!!

I almost had a heart attack. I ran to the store as fast as possible and there they were. I have had a Wii account in the bank for almost a year and now its balance is ZERO. I had to go back to work but I cant wait to rip the box apart and get to it...

I bought Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Metroid, No More Heros, Super Mario Galaxy and pre ordered Mario Cart.

Cant wait...

Have fun!

Well, I just finished Dark Sector and I really enjoyed the game. I was not very impressed with the multi player and just thought the game should have focused on single player more because I lost interest in the game once I finished and tried multi player. The single player story is not very deep but thats ok because throwing the glaive is what its all about.

I couldnt get enough of using the glaive and just stuck with it for most of the game. There were a few hard situations where I had to pull out a 9mm and put a cap in someones ###( you get the point). But beyond the small need for fire arms the glaive pretty much did the job and was a ton of fun to throw. I would like to see Dark Sector expanded upon with another single player campaign. I think this style of play has a lot of potential and is currently unique. This untapped potential could mean a lot of cash to developers but due to the "pray and spray" nature of first person shooters this game needs to be configured for the type of play like a tactical shooter such as any rainbow six game not like halo.

Lots of fun and definately received my dollars worth out of this game.

Have fun!

Here's to the hope that Battlestar Galactica (BSG) doesn't continue to suck on Sci-Fi. BSG starts up this Friday for the final season. I absolutely loved this show for the first and half the second season. Every darn episode had some magic and incredible story but once they landed on the planet it started to suck really bad. I mean why do you recreate a show about a rag tag fleet of humans crossing the galaxy to find the lost colony called earth and then have them just give up half way through the season and land on a planet (hence the "jump the shark" quote).

Anyway I am hopeful that last season will wrap it up and make it entertaining. I will watch the first and second episode and if they suck I will just dvr the rest so I can fast forward if I need to.

I was totally captivated when BSG started and kind of feel robbed that something I cared about so much was ruined. I know the show was not made for me by the people that created it but it was so darn good when it started.

They should have another BSG show where they find Earth, teach humans the new technology and use earth as an army to "hunt the toasters". Now a galactic war where humans fight cylons on a galactic scale with current day earth as the standing army would be a show to watch.... food for thought!

Have fun!

Today I finished Viking: Battle for Asgard. I was pretty excited to finish the game because it was a lot of fun and kept me addicted. I stopped playing all my other games just because I was obsessed with Viking. I finished it on hard too. I almost completed all the achievements. The only achievements I didnt get were the ones for finding some skulls. These are ridiculously hard! You have to sneak into a fortress with literally hundreds of baddies and find some skulls that actually look like a rock. I found about 1/3 of them and said screw it. All in all the game was great but its very linear so there is almost no re playability. I am going to email the company that created it and let them know how happy I was with their creation and encourage them to make another. I hope you get a chance to play this game as I had a wonderful time.

Next I am off to conquer Dark Sector. I have been getting up early in the morning to play before I go to work and its great but I can tell its a short game. There is something about throwing that Glaive that is awesome.
