1th
Similar to franchises like Devil May Cry, Rygar, and Castlevania, the game draws its inspiration from ancient Greek mythology and boasts a heavy emphasis on exploration and battle strategy. Broken into three to four acts, the game also has a strong focus on story-telling and boast tons of magic spells and abilities. Described as "Clash of the Titans meets Heavy Metal", God of War equips its hero with a pair of sword-like chain weapons that can grab enemies, perform multi-hit combos, and pull off a variety of different aerial attacks. Slight platforming elements and an energy collection system similar to that of Onimusha have been incorporated as well, and players are even able to use certain elements of their fallen enemies as a weapon (re: Medusa's head, for instance, can be used to turn enemies to stone after you've defeated her).

No matter what changes, which commericial head comes and goes, we as gamers who have not stopped at adolecense and kept playing will always keep a piece of that childhood gaming with us. And when we look back and look foreward, things are never the same.
This remeniscense began today when I was flipping through my iTunes library and I launched up my LOZ: Ocarina of Time soundtrack. Once it got to "Zora's Doman," I began thinking. When I was a kid, I loved this game more than anything. Played it multiple times through, just having to get *every* last piece of heart or Gold Skultulla. As I listened to the cheerful melody of this watery cave, I thought "How can it be that I've played this game as a child and yet even today if I have the slightest urge to play I fire up my N64 in an instant?"
Same thing for another memorable Nintendo franchise. I was 7 when it happened, and it changed my life forever. Pokemon was released. Yeah, I know; the PERFECT wallet-I mean age to milk for all its worth. I even distinctly remember one moment with my parents at a store: "Mom, you have to buy me the holographic Dragonite card or I won't be popular!"
This isn't just the guys in their late 20s who grew up playing NES and Master System, or my generation who had to catch 'em all. 15 years later those f**king little kids from Halo will experiance the same remorse. So there will be the newest, young, hot protagonist from Final Fantasy XXVI, the ever-memorable Mario, and some other so-and-so, but those same grown-up people will look back and say "These games are great...but I miss the Cheif. Where's Fenix when you need him? Whatever happened to Nathan Drake or Commander Shepard?"
Even now playing through Asassin's Creed I imagine him taking the head of a target and holding it above his head the way Link would whenever you discovered the Hookshot or Fairy's Bow. I'm watching Drake smashing mercenaries against solid walls, jumping on thier backs to snap their necks, among other badass actions...but he's no Duke Nukem (a little early for my time, but you get the picture).
So I ask this question: We were gamers before with the games we loved. Who are we now? Why does it seem nothing was as good as it was when we were little (Star Wars [old timer's here], Pokemon, Mario, Sonic, whoever you grew up with), and why is it that no matter how much we replace them with the Master Cheifs, Marcus Fenixs, and the Ratchets & Clanks of today? I want people to respond with their opinions, so I know I'm not alone in my thinking.
ok, I usually don't use blogs to ask questions because I have my own brain 
But EVERY way I look at this question I still can't find an answer so here it goes:
Couple months ago I sold my Rig (a very good one, about 1 and a half years old) It was very painful because it took alot of time (and money) to put it together but I needed the money to go to Japan, Hawaii, Arizona and Mexico but all said and done it was worth it. SO NOW, I have a little less of a thousand dollars and I was wondering whether should build a new rig or buy a 360..I even drifted towards the thought of buying a pS3 but once that happened I Said No! to myself ofcourse
Simple Question: which should I buy? PC or 360
the are a bunch of games that I want on the PC (Crysis, Spore, etc.) but the 360 has a pretty decent line up.
Another Question: With Vista now out are most 360 cross platform? meaning both on the 360 and PC?
Thanks alot to anyone who is willing to give me their opinion.
