  My thoughts about the 3 press conferences

  Microsoft: Well, I found Microsoft Press Conference to be not as bad as many think. Perhaps they didn´t show much about the console´s future, but I think it wasn´t really that necessary.At this point, Microsoft only has to focus on bringing some more good software to the 360 and that´s what they did, even the Xbox Live Arcade stuff was decent(tough, I still wonder what happened to Fatal Fury 2 Special Edition). I was a little disappointed about what they showed about Halo 3, it wasn´t bad but I was hoping to see more about the gameplay itself.

  Nintendo: I found this to be the worst of the 3 for me. Even when they showed good stuff like Mario Kart for Wii and the release date for Super Smash Bros Brawl, I still think they didn´t focus on the hardcore gamer. I was about to explode when they came out with their "we´remaking more non-gamers to the play videogames and be part of the this culture" speech for the 20ths time. About the new hardware they showed, tough the Zapper looks great, the wheeler and the wii balance board(for Wii Fit) didn´t make it for me. I was hoping to see more support for the online service(more games, an improvement in the service) or at least a new installment of Nintendo that really wanted me to play that title on the wii hardware.

  Sony: I think this year, Sony along Microsoft did a great job. Tough they showed a new PSP version, it lacks of a internal HD or the use of Flash memory and another/better analog stick will make me not to think of buying a PSP anytime soon. Same for the PS3, even with the $100 price drop, I still don´t think I´m gonna pay 500$ for a console. In the other hand I was happy to see good stuff coming for the PS3 such as the new installment of Ratchet and Clank, more about Heavenly Swords, Killzone 2(which really looks amazing) and of course... Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots!!!! (That Raiden vs Vamp [I guess?] fight was awesome)

  Vacations, Xbox 360 and future plans!

      Last friday was my last day of school, so finally I´m on summer vacations! That means more gaming time and more free time for posting and mainly updating this blog ´cause it´s been almost a year since I do so I hope to update my blog at least once at two weeks.
      Also, I´m planning to start writing reviews! but not any normal review, I will write bilingual reviews. In spanish(my native language) and english (These will probably suck but as cliche as it will sound, I´ll do my best)
      Finally, I recently got my Xbox 360 with Oblivion which I´m not playing right now(I want to finish some other games first so I can play it full time) My xtarg is Chronopolian so feel free to add me, I´m currently playing Halo 2, Star Wars Battlefront II and UNO.

  I know 500 post is not that much(I would like to have more free time to post ) but half thousand is a decent number of posts I think.
