Hello everyone, I hope your all enjoying your summer. I have a bit of catching up to do with info, so let's get started.

Always been one who enjoys watching movies, I decided to buy Beowulf, the new Rambo, and Cloverfield. First I watched Cloverfield, which is an excellent monster movie that is thrilling to watch. 5 stars. Then I saw the new Rambo, which was a good action flick, but left me unsatisfied. 3 stars. Lastly I watched Beowulf, which is a bit slow to begin with but got better as it went along. 4 stars. Overall Cloverfield was best, followed by Beowulf and then Rambo.

Also, the MGS 4 bundle has finally made its way into my hands! A full month after it has been released, a new shipment finally arrived, and I managed to get myself one on Friday. That PS3 is a beast, but it sure is nice to look at. Oh ya, and Metal Gear is kick ass so far . I am proud to say I now own all current gen consoles, and can now enjoy any AAA titles that come henceforth! mwahahaha!

Now that I have all three consoles, I thought it might be fun to do a little award ceremony, where I will hand out awards in different categories, and the winner will either be the Wii, the 360, or the PS3. I will mention that all consoles will get a prize, so there's no point in showing fanboyism and argueing with me. Each console is great in it's own respect. Without further ado, I give you...

NailBail's Console Awards!

Best Exclusive games: 360 - Who can argue with exclusives like Gears of War, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Ninja Gaiden 2, Perfect Dark Zero, Dead Rising, Dead or Alive 4, and the list goes on. While future PS3 exclusives look promising, the current ones are often dissapointing (Haze) and aren't especially jaw dropping (few exceptions like MGS 4 and R&C:ToD). And let's face it: exclusives for the Wii that aren't made by nintendo are crap (exceptions like Okami, RE:UC and Zack and Wiki).

Best Backwards Compatibility: Wii - Since the hardware in the Wii is not unlike the Gamecube, the Wii has no problem taking the GC games and playing them.Unlike the 360 and PS3, the Wii can play 100% of GC games. 360 plays around 35% of original Xbox games, and the PS3 plays most PS1 and PS2 games, but not all of them. Extra points for the Virtual Console. Both 360 and PS3 have something similar, neither of them can give the classics that I played when I was but a young lad, like Super Mario 64 and Starfox.

Best Online Capability: PS3 - I bet you 360 fanboys are probably raging right now, so let me explain. Yes, Xbox Live is probably the best online service, if it weren't for one thing: IT IS NOT FREE! I played Metal Gear Online yesterday, and it was so much fun to play against others, and I didn't have to pay a cent for it! And sure, the Wii has free online too, but who really wants to gather up all those friend codes, with a different one for each game? Not me!

Best Controller: PS3 - This one was a tuffy. First, there's the comfortable 360 controller that fits your hand like a glove. Then, there's the motion sensing controller of the Wii, that of which we've never seen before, and is open to so many different ways to play a game. In the end though, it was the PS3's Dualshock 3 controller that pulled me in. It's not the fact that it is wireless, as the other two can be as well. It's the fact that the controller does not require any batteries, and relies on an internal battery in the controller. Did I mention that you can also play a game while the controller charges, via a USB cable? Though I commend the other two consoles for their great controllers.

Easiest Initial Setup: Wii - Having the small frame that it does, the Wii is easily manuverable and and can be placed almost anywhere without getting in the way. It has few wires to connect, and a small power block makes setting up the wii easier than either of the others.

Best Ease of use: Wii - Again, Wii takes this one for it's easy to navigate menu, and for the way how you can just slide in the discs and play the game. It's clear that Nintendo made this a family console, because even your grandmother could figure out what to do.

Those are all the awards I'll hand out...at least for now

As for the new games I bought, I manage to find the game "Eternal Darkness" for the GC.The game is pretty cool, and the sanity effects are insane (literally) at times. I also bought the wii version of Resident Evil 4 and, of course, MGS 4. If you have it, and want a go at MGO, let me know.

And finally, E3 is apon us! What sursprises will we see? What games will be featured? Will there be cake? We shall find out tomorrow!

Sorry for contributing to the "soon to be" many blogs about the metal gear solid 4 release and the PS3, but I just couldn't resist! The hype that this game has generated is phenominal, and this moment makes me truly happy to be a gamer. We all were waiting for it, and now it's finally here. The true first staple for the PS3 has at last arrived. June will most certainly show a dramatic increase of sales for the console, and I think Sony is grateful for that. Not only Sony though, but gamers as well. Many people (myself included) have waited for a solid (get it? Solid!) reason to buy a PS3, and now we have it, in the form of Guns of the Patriots.

Already, I know 3 friends that have bought a PS3 on June 12, along with MGS 4, and I will most likely hop on the band wagon. Strangely enough, I have never actually played a Metal Gear game, yet I'm as excited as ever for the newest sequel. This is because a few months ago (probably around March),while playing Smash Bros. Brawl, I realized that my favourite character to use was Snake. Since I wanted to know more about the character, I started reading up on the storyline. At first I was overwhelmed with the complexness of the plot, but I became intriqued, and continued reading about it. Before long, I fell in love with the story (figuratively, of course), and I wanted to play the games for myself. Sadly, never owning a playstation console before, that would be hard to do. So I'll probably buy The Essential Collection along with the PS3. Also, I bought the new Metal Gear Solid book, which retells the story of the first MGS game. It's really good, and I reccomend it to anybody who enjoyed the game or enjoys espionage stories.

Now for a bit of news non-snake related. First off, only 3 regular days of school left! I'm happy to say that I finished my school year better than I started, and I hope that my marks show it. I had to cut down on playing video games to make sure I pass each course, but I don't mind too much. Some sacrifices must be made for ones education. I also bought some CD's of Iron Maiden, Godsmack and Avenged Sevenfold. Yay music!

Lastly, I want to wish you fathers out there to have a Happy Fathers Day! See you all later.

Well now, I bet most of you are happy that summer is merely a month away, and it's almost time to break out the sunscreen again. For those who are still in school (myself included), it's also almost time for school to be over. I must say that I will miss it, but I'm happy that I'll be back for Grade 12, and I'll most likely take Grade 13 as well.

Today, I went with my english class to see a production of Macbeth, and I must say I enjoyed it very much. The play was well acted, the fight scenes were awesome, and overall it was just fun to watch live people perform in front of you. I had a great time, and I suggest watching a play to anyone who likes to be entertained and have the action right in front of you.

Sadly, I wished I enjoyed the 4th installment to the Indiana Jones series just as much, but it is not so. Being a big indy fan, I had high expectations for this movie. If I could describe this movie in one word, it's cheese. There's plenty of it. Not being one to tell spoilers, the last thing I'll say about this movie is that I'm going to pretend that it was never made, as I was pretty dissapointed with it (especially the ending).

Gaming wise, I got a chance to sit down and play Metroid Prime 3 in the past few weeks, and it's looking very good. The controls were awkward starting off, but I quickly got used to them, and the game ends up controlling very nicely. It is more epic than the first two combined, and you can really tell that this game was aimed at a more broader audience than the first two. The backtracking is cut down considerably, the story is more interesting than the others, and there's even voice acting included. I can't wait to finish it. Also, I ended up buying GTA 4 like I said I would. I even made a video of me opening the special edition of GTA 4 on youtube. It's something to watch until I start doing my reviews again. The game is amazing in terms in depth, there's so much stuff packed into this game it's mind boggling. It's definately a game you should check out (unless, of course, your'e under 17 years of age).

That's all I really have to say for now. Take care every one!

If there's one thing that's bad about having so many great games avaible to us, it's that we don't have enough time to play them all! Within the last little while, I've increased my Wii library from just 1, to 5! I now have brawl, Umbrella Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, and I just bought Mario Kart Wii and Mario Galaxy today. Unfortunately, I've barely touched Corruption (it's not exactly a "pick up and play" game), yet tomorrow GTA 4 comes out, and I want to buy that too! I didn't notice it before, but I realized that I'm becoming very materialistic. Everything I buy just doesn't satisfy my needs anymore, and I keep buying more and more to fill the void (i'm starting to sound like a drug addict aren't I ).

When I was a kid, I didn't have a lot of money, so I only bought a game every 5 - 6 months or so. Since there was such a gap between each game, I had to make the game I already had worth while, so I would play it numerous times, look for Easter eggs or have some fun with glitches. I would play the game and enjoy it to its fullest potential, but nowadays, I only have enough time to play through the game, and then move on to the next.

I'm more than happy that we've gotten so many AAA titles in the past year and a half, but is it better to fully enjoy a few games, or to go through a lot of games, but not exploring them to their full potential? I'd like to hear your opinions.

-On a side note, I'm happy to announce that I'm currently working on my next cartoon, and that the quality of the pictures and jokes will be better than all my other cartoons combined! (which, come to think of it, isn't a very big feat).

I know my past couple of blogs aren't exactly the greatest, so I decided to do a real update now. This is what's been going on with me.

First of all, the wii is awesome! At the moment, I only have Smash Bros. Brawl, and it's great! There's so much content for it, and so many new modes, that I don't know which to play next. I'm satisfied with the roster of characters, and I love the new stages ( one of my favourites is the "Bridge of Eldin" from twilight Princess). The smash ball and assist trophies are really cool, and it's fun to see everyone racing for them. I wish the online was a bit better (but since nintendo is still kinda new to online, I guess it will have to do). My next game will most likely be Umbrella Chronicles, which I will pick up sometime during this week.

In school, I'm doing a bit of good work. In English, we are reading the Shakespeare play, "Macbeth", which is probably my favourite out of the three I read (the other two being "Twelvth Night" and "Romeo and Juliet"). I't about a guy named Macbeth (duh), who wants to become king of Scotland after hearing a prophecy, and will do anything to take the crown (perhaps even kill?). What happens? You'll have to see the play or read it to find out .

In Psychology (study of the mind), we have to pick a topic that interest us, and create an arguement about it using observations, surveys, and case studies. Being the Video Game addict that I am, I chose the topic "Video Games do not cause people to commit acts of violence". One of my sales pitches is that: Do you think if Ghandi played GTA, he would rob a car? No. Do you think that if Mother Theresa played Manhunt, would she kill a person? Probably not. People who blame video games as a source of violence are just looking for a scapegoat, and don't realise that people become violent because that's how they were brought up. If a murderer plays Gears of War, and then a few hours later goes and murders his family, did the game cause him to do that? No! He did it because he was a violent person, and the game had nothing to do with it. If you guys are interested in hearing the rest of my report, I might even post it here on Gamespot.

Moviewise, I few days ago I saw the movie " Sweeny Todd, the Demon Barber on Fleet street". It's an interesting movie, because it's both a horror and a musical! That's right, they're singing while he kills people. If you think you can handle the blood (believe me, there's a lot), this is actually a very good movie, it stars Johnny Depp (who was nominated for an academy award), and the songs are actually quite good.

In other news, I think I might have found the video camera I was looking for. It's a Canon HV30. It's supposed to have really good image quality, the options and audio is really good, and it can record in HD. If I'm lucky, I should be able to buy it for about $1000. When I do get a camera, I can't wait to start making amateur films, I have a few ideas already in mind.

Sorry for the lack of reviews in a while, I'm not really inspired to make them that much because the piece of software that I use to make them (iMovie) has a strange habit of changing the settings of my options every time I do something on it, and everytime it's something new. Once I figure out what's wrong this time, my newest review WILL be up (it's already in progress).

I think that's good. See you next time everybody.

I found a wii. After a while of searching, I have in my position a nintendo wii. I am very happy now . I have also bought with it Super smash bros. Brawl. If anyone wants to exchange friend codes, just drop me a private message! I'd make this longer, but I'm going to play some more . Talk to ya all when I come back!
