  Nintendo Press Event

  Well I already talked about Microsofts press event so now its time to cover Nintendo's

  Nintendo
  
  What the heck were they thinking ? I would think that they would know that most casual gamers would not be watching but that is about all they showed was casual efforts.....Wii Music......WTF Im sorry that was lame in my book. Whats that we have to buy an attachment to make our Wii motes more accurate ? Wii speak was kind of cool but I did'nt here anything about smash bros or kart compatibiliy did you ?
  I hate to say it but this may be the last Nintendo console that I try to buy when it launches. I think they are drunk with thier casual success and will soon find out that they don't buy the same number of games. Lets start listig the stuff they could have showed but for whatever reason they chose not to :
  
  We know Monster Hunter is coming to the Wii but we saw nothing of it.
  
  Rumors of a new Pikmin game (which one would think would be a natural fit for the system) but another no show.
  
  The teams that make the Mario and Zelda stuff are working on projects....? Nothing else was said so what do we care. That last one was a bit of bone for the core Nintendo fan but by the end of the show it felt more like a slap in the face.
  
  I was dissapointed at first but now I am a little mad to tell you the truth.
  
  I am so gald I have the other two systems because at this point I see very little for the Wii that interests me.

  Microsoft Press event

  Well I saw most of it and from what I saw it was fairly impressive. Gears 2 looked to be a great follow up to Gears and the same could be said for Fable 2. Speaking of Fable 2, I thought the presentation was very well done and there were some cool ideas that are being implemented into it.... I swear if I let some of you into my world and you start hitting on my wife there will be trouble..... j/k.

  Final Fantasy megaton

  Exclusive content coming for Fall Out 3

  The me too stuff had me laughing out loud too.

  What were your thoughts on the press event ?

  Board games ?

  Yeah I know this is a video game site but I was thinking the other day about some of the great gatherings I have had with family and friends. Most of the memorable ones included some sort of board game or card game everyone could play.

  Some of the games have included Cranium, Canasta (spelling), various card games, marbles (like sorry) and recently even a game of Pirate Dice !

  After thinking about this for a bit I thought it might be interesting to see what some of my fellow gamers have played and liked. Are there games that you have not played that you would like to try ?

  I have played other games than just the ones that are mentioned above but those are the ones that came to mind first.
