  What's Grabbing my Attention

  I've not had a look at much of the E3 related stuff yet, but all I have to say is that the Nintendo Wii is looking like the console for me.
  
  From what I've heard and read, as most will know, it's going to be the cheapest next-gen console. And for someone who has 3 1/2 months before entering university, where money will be tight, if I'm going to get any console, it'd be that one.
  
  Secondly, from what I've heard and read, it won't require a HDTV (not that the 360 or PS3 need one), but, its another financial reason why the Wii is appealing to me.
  
  And then it's the games. Well. I've only seen one game, really, that will appear on the Wii which looks alright, but the ability to play Gamecube games is also pretty cool. This is because I wanted a Gamecube to get the Resident Evil games, but money has always been a problem for me. To not even need a GC, but just a Wii, is even better.
  
  Hurrah!

  My DS!

  
  I've had my DS for about a week now, and I've got two games, Resident Evil DS and Madden NFL.
  
  I've got further in Resident Evil DS than I ever did when I played it on the PS or the GC. It's good, the visuals may not be as good as the revamped GC version, but for them being held in my hand, they're certainly good enough.
  
  Madden 06 is proving to be another good game to say it's a shrunk down version of a console game, basically, with different things to make it unique to the DS. The poorer graphics I don't mind, using the stylus to take kicks, I sort of do. At least until I get the hang of it.
  
  As well as this I've not actually won a game out of the few I've actually finished, most end up with me turning off the DS in pure frustration as the opposition take the lead again, while even the simplest of my plays on the offence **** up. I'm sure I'm getting better every time I play though. Hopefully!
  
  And until the 22nd, they're the only two games I'll have, but I'm sure but then I'll still not have finished one season on Madden, or gotten even half way with Chris Redfield on Resident Evil.
  
  We'll have to wait and see.

  The LAN Party Result

  I won on Call of Duty, the best level being the Tunisian level, which was a close game where we all used sniper rifles.
  
  As well as this we had a four-player co-operative on SWAT 4, only managing to complete one level (A Bomb Nightclub). The rest we all died. This might be put down to the fact that one member of the team kept wandering off from the rest of us. Dick.
  
  
  Also, I played a DS yesterday, and now I really want one. So I'll probably be getting one of those in a few days, as well as selling my PS2 and Mega Drive.
