I went to Darien Lake this weekend to go see Blink 182 in concert. While wondering in the park we saw Mark Hoppus, my friend asked if we could have a picture and he said yes! The rest is history:

Today at where I work (GameStop) I picked up 3 new games for my PS3/360. I ended up getting

Bionic Commando $19.99 New (PS3)

Tomb Raider: Underworld $15.85 Used (PS3)

Wheelman $19.99 New (360)

I'm loving all of them. The sale they are having through July is a pretty good one. Usually are sales are garbage.

Well I got my license today and even though I just got it I have aclass Dlicense (senior) because I took drivers ed.

Passed it my first try

So what were you guys like when you first got your license?

Now this is my own personal opnion and its based on my experience in which I had of the major 90 consoles. Now the final three were between the Nintendo 64, Playstation 2 and Sega Dreamcast. Now many people are already saying "Oh it has to be the PS2!" well your wrong. The greatest game system of the 90's is without a doubt the Sega Dreamcast. The Dreamcast had the best graphics, online play, a smaller and more duriable system, and a huge selection of amazing games.

Some of the best games for the Sega Dreamcast many probably havn't played. Here is a short list of some amazing Dreamcast titles and their rating on Gamespot (not exclusives only):

Soul Caliber - 10

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - 10

NFL 2k1 - 9.9

NFL 2k - 9.9

NBA 2k2 - 9.7

Test Drive Le Mans - 9.6

NFL 2k2 - 9.5

Resident Evil Code: Veronica - 9.5

Unreal Tournament - 9.4

Quake III Arena - 9.4

Rayman 2 - 9.4

and that is only the first two pages of the top games on Gamespot.

(Soul Caliber for the Sega Dreamcast)

Now on the first page there are 50 games between these consoles: Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, PC, N64, Gamecube, GBC, and GBA. Between all of those the Sega Dreamcast has 11 of the top 50. That is one more than PS2,seven more than PS1, five more than the N64 and eight more than the PC. Now the Sega Dreamcast still beat out the PS2 even when the PS2 had a lifespan of a system (mainstream wise) more than triple the amount of years of the Sega Dreamcast which discontinued in 2001. The Dreamcast not only had better games than the systems of the 90's but it was more innovative with being the first video game system to go online, being able to play people across the country. Although the Dreamcast might now have been around for a long time it still is the best system of the 90's.

If any one agrees or disagrees please leave a comment.

Ok, well for a couple months i've been trying to get a Nintendo Wii but they havn't been in stock for months. Now im not dying to get one but I want one just for when my friends come over or some thing to maybe have a little more interactivity with. Is that why every one wants one?I mean when I look at it I can't see a real reason why any one would get a Nintendo Wii (besidse the price of it) rather than an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3. Sure the Nintendo Wii can relate to a lot of people as games use motion control instead of buttons and it seems entertaining and good for all ages and all but really what games can you really get that makes it so rare tobuy?

If your talking about the age reference as its better for younger kids how about the Xbox 360 which has parental controls on it and not only could you control what your kids play but also what they watch via the Xbox Live Video Marketplace.Or how about a PS3 which has a good hand full of fun games, a little bit ofthe motion controls, a decent marketplace and a blu-ray player where you pop in some spectacular quality moviesfor you and your family.It just seems like a better idea than a Nintendo Wii which younger kids will probably end up breaking some thing because they are all hyped up on Moutain Dew and pixie stix. If I was a parent and I was trying to get my kid the best thing for not only the childs fun factor but longevity of a system it would be either the PS3 or Xbox 360 (price aside). The Wii has out dated graphics but the gameplay can be fun. Until you run out of games to play after about two months.

Now maybe I am looking into the little kid thing too much but if you consider getting one for a teenager or yourself as an adult wouldn't you consider this...According to Gamestop (which I guess isn't the best source but it'll do)only three games are truly "great". When I look at a Nitendo Wii I see about five games I would want for it. RE4 (because i've never played it), WarioWare, Paper Mario, Zelda twlight princess, and Madden NFL 08 just because it seems like a cool way to play the game with the motion. Other than that I can't see any games that are worthy of a purchase. Maybe im missing some thing or maybe im just going off opinions rather than my own experience. But if I was a person choosing between the three systems the Nintendo Wii in no way would beat out the first two. Maybe if I didn't like Sony nor microsoft or im just a long time Nintendo fan I could see that but honestly what does the Nintendo Wii besides the motion controls have the the two others don't? In fact it has less.

Its just my opinion and i'd like to see what others think of it so please leave a comment.
