  Halo 3 cometh now.

  It's been awhile since I have mentioned my favorite game off all time.  Come to think of it have I ever mentioned Halo in my blog(no)?  SO lets get down to some of the new videos circulating around the internet of halo 3.  The first video I'm going to write about is the excellent "Quisnam Protero Damno" video.  If you've been clamoring for some new Halo 3 details I highly recommend you to check this video out.  The video starts off with some awesome mulitplayer footage with the bungie crew giving details about it in the backround.  The assault rifle looks awesome(bound to be my favorite weapon), it really seems like they took the time to make the weapons balance each other out.  They did a good job in that aspect.  Also the new attention to offense and defense maps is really smart.  I cannot wait to play on High Ground (the level they presented in the video).   However I disagree with one of the designers, mellee attacks and grenades were a vital part in halo 2 and dual wielding really didn't hamper that all too much.  As of right now the bubble shield sounds like a good idea, but I would really need to play the game to experience it and decide.  However the trip mine feature is awesome and I cannot wait to disappoint certain vehicle whoring players with a swift trip mine to the chest.  The new replay feature is also a good idea.  All in all Halo 3 is shaping up to be everything I expected it to be and more I cannot wait until it is released.

  *And in a popular side note it seems a video of a new and updated Zanzibar level from Halo 3 has been leaked.  Watching the video really made me want to pick up Crackdown just for the beta access,.

  Drought!

  Time seems to be going slower and slower as I wait for april 29 to pick up the elite.  Of course this time does have some advantages, I finally got to complete Zelda: twilight princess (note: actually the first zelda game I have ever completed).  Twilight princess kept me busy throught the rest of march and some of early april but it seems that now my video game playing has hit a drought. 

  This past Thursday I rented Warioware: smooth moves.  Nothing against wario ware but to be honest it took me about two days to completely finish it, and thats really not good.  Sure, the multiplayer is fun for awhile but after you have played and completed the game it gets stale really fast.

  With warioware out of my playing time I started to look for games that I hadn't gotten the chance to play in awhile.  So I decided to play alittle mario kart over wifi.  After playing for about an hour it really hit me how fun and addictive the game really is!  Nintendo wifi really is a great service. After playing mario kart I started to go back and play all my ds titles that have the feature.

  XBOX360 Three red lights of joy

  As i've mentioned in other posts my core xbox360 died.  After hooking it up to my new computer montior it started acting up and I finally got the three red lights signaling harware failure.  For awhile I was in quite the dilemma as to what I should do, but after debating it back and forth in my head for awhile I have decided to skip getting it fixed and buy the new black xbox360 coming out next month.  Looking at it now, I am actually kinda glad it broke because I really need the bigger hardrive and hdmi ports.  GOOD DEAL

  In the mean while I'm really starting to finally play my wii alot on a regular basis.  I am really getting into Zelda:twilight princess.  I don't know what kept me from really getting into this game when I first got my wii, but it definetely has seemed to pass.  So I at least have a good game I can enjoy while waiting for the release of the black xbox360.
