New Sonic Game Announced, and GiantBomb.
By now we all know that another Sonic game is in development exclusively for the Nintendo Wii called Sonic and the Black Knight. I just got the Nintendo Power issue with Sonic holding a giant sword on the cover. Since it was just announced, there aren't any details on how the game works, or some footage of the game in action. When I see the details, I might get interested. Until then, I have no opinion on it.
Last I'm not going to judge a book by its cover. Just because Sonic is carrying a sword doesn't mean the game already sucks. At least give it time to develop and for the facts to be released before you judge it.
In other things, it seems everyone is joining a website called GiantBomb.com. After constantly hearing about it, I joined it yesterday because I wanted to see what all the talk was about. So far it's a pretty good website, I like their rating system of using stars instead of numbers.

Thoughts on E3.
Last day of E3, it wasn't as exciting as we had hoped. But a lot of cool stuff was showed.
Nintendo did show off some cool new games like Wii Music and a new Wii Sports. But since it was Nintendo, I was expecting a whole lot more. At least they announced Pikmin 3, that should be sweet.
Microsoft did a great job showing lots of footage of Gears of War 2. After watching the press conference, I've gotten interested in the upcoming game Fallout 3 which looks really good based on the footage I've seen.
So a bunch of great games to look forward to this year. For me, I can't wait to get Gears of War 2, Sonic Unleashed, and Fallout 3.
What games are you looking forward to this year?
Making Progress with the New Games.
I'm really glad I got these Nintendo 64 games, I can't believe I almost missed out on these classics.
I beat Paper Mario today. It was simply awesome, and now one of my all-time favorite Mario games. Though out of all the Paper Mario games, The Thousand-Year Door is still my favorite out of the trilogy.
GoldenEye 007, well I just pick missions and go around shooting people and see how long I'll live before getting killed. It's still a good game, but it's really overrated. No offense.
I'm almost done with Half-Life, which is absolutely an incredible game by the way. Just a few more levels and I can move onto Half-Life: Opposing Force, and Half-Life: Blue Shift.
Other than that, not much else has been going on. Since me and family aren't going vacation this year, it's going to be a long dull summer for me. Oh well, at least E3 is almost here.
Independence Day.
Well, it was Independence Day. The United States is now 232 years old. Mine was good this year, me and my family went to a small party and then went and saw the fireworks. Other than that not much else happened.
I hope everyone else had a great Independence Day.
Retro Game Shopping.
I ordered a few old Nintendo 64 games a few days ago, and today they finally came in.

GoldenEye 007 is a pretty good game I must say. I can see why a lot of people liked it when it was first released.
I have to say that the first Paper Mario is awesome. This is a great role-playing game, and I literally can't stop playing it.
This is also a great shooter. Though before you start the single player campaign, you have to do all these tedious challenges when all I want to do is just start the game. Besides that, it's still a great game.
I hope to get more Nintendo 64 games soon, the last ones I plan to get are Mario Kart 64, and the original Super Smash Bros. But until then, I'm going to enjoy these games.
