I finally was able to aquire a Wii today, and let me tell you noting beats the smell of a new game system fresh out of the box. Over all I find the Wii to be a rather average when compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360, and this though is owing to the fact the Wii has broken a Nintendo tradition, it didn't come bundled with a Mario Game. the worst feature about the Wii though is it's sensor bar, it has to be aligned perfectly in order for the WiiMote to Work Properly, another problem though is it's lack of storage space and the need for game cube controllers and memory cards in order to be backwards compatible.

The WiiMote actually can be extremely fun, especally with the sports games and can be very relaxing especally after a hard day's work, but over time it starts to feel really childish. It's motion sensing feature is perfect for sports games and simulaters but it makes shooters and other games more challenging then they need be. My biggest complaint with the Mii's though is that they're simply too cute, and goofy looking.

But over all it's a good system, and a nice introduction to Video Games and Nintendo, especally for gamers who never had the chance to play Nintendo's older systems, but it's very over raited, the motion sensing technology is a nice feature, but it can become boaring very quickly, and Nintnedo's failure at E3 has helped cement the Wii's reputation as a kiddy console, when it could have been a fantastic hard core system.

while owning a wii has somewhat restored my faith in Nintendo, the Wii still doesn't feel like a Nintendo console, and that is mostly becaus of Nintendo bragging about how much money they were making off of it at E3, instead of show casing games and updates on par with the 360 and PS3. If Nintendo wants to do something good with the Wii, figure out a way to make the WiiMote work with out that blasted sensor bar.

I've always loved Nintendo, especally since the NES was the first console I ever owned as a kid. But latlely, especally in the aftermath of E3 my faith in Nintendo has been shaken to the core. While I still hope to get a Wii, simply because of the upcoming Star Wars Clone Wars game, it just doesn't feel like a true Nintendo console.

I finally was able to aquire a working Atari 2600 system. Over all it's a good system, especally if you want to see the nostalgia games like Space Invaders and Missile Command in their original glory. My only major complaints with the system is it's joysticks. They feel very stiff and can at times be hard to move, the most confusing aspect is that the controller ports are in the back of the console. But owing to a problem with my TV's sound system, I've allowed my brother to hook it up in his room.

This definatlly was one of the best E3s with Microsoft and Sony coming out on top with a host of shiny new upgrades and games for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I'm giving Microsoft the benifit of the doubt when it comes to the avatar, as long as we don't see a pink Xbox 360, with roses, Hello Kitty, or bunny rabbits painted on it I'll let the avatars' cartooninish slide (A red or blue 360 with mechs and super cool anime characters is another story). The improvements to LIVE's interface though, look quite promising, and the addition of a NetFlix feature also looks quite promising.

Game wise Microsoft deliverd a blow to Sony, from which it will probably never fully recover, in the form of the announcement that Sony had lost what was looking to be a killer app exclusive: Final Fantasy XIII, and thus it's minopoly on the popular RPG franchise, and the annoucement of a decent selection of RPGs also has added points to Microsoft in what is quickly becoming the Console War to end all Console Wars (Playstation vs. Xbox). While this was with out a doubt the highlight of the show, Microsoft also delivered an impressive presentation show casingthe 360's next Killer App: Gears of War 2.

While Microsoft drew first blood, Sony fired back announcing what looks to be a fantastic new feature for PSN, called Life with Playstation, which on the surface looks to be a huge improvement to PSN. However Sony has yet to mention anything related to the release date of the much anticipated home service, something that may cost Sony in the future when it comes to online games, but the addition of Sony's own video service more then makes up for it, hopefully though these features arn't just a lot of hot air.

Game wise, it looked as though Microsoft had delivered a fatal blow to Sony with the aquisition of Final Fantasy XIII for the 360. Sony proved that they still had an ace up their sleeves, and revealed a much needed killer app to follow up the excellent MGS4 in the form of a trailer for the sequel to the Playstation 3's first killer app, Resistance Fall of Man, while not on par with Gears of War 2, Resistance 2 definattly will give Microsoft's game a decent run for it's money. The annucment of a Resistance game for the PSP and the first glimpses of God of War III also added some much need thunder to Sony in the wake of the loss of Final Fantasy XIII.

Coming in dead last in my opinon is Nintendo, who spent much of their time bragging about how popular the Wii is, how many games they've sold, and how the Wii is the true future of gaming. While Microsoft and Sony were giving the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 price cuts, shiny new games and fancy new updates that will no doubt take both consoles to new levels of popularity, the Wii is starting to suffer from Nintendo's trade mark syndrome, when the game library starts tanking, we start selling pointless accessories, this time in the form of a microphone add on to the Wii.

Game wise, if you were expecting to finally see the Wii's library pick up, you will probably be disapointed the only game worth mentioning is Animal Crossing, and too much emphisis was placed on upcoming Music games, which further cements the Wii's reputation as a kiddie console, they didn't even bother mentoning the whole reason I want a Wii in the first place: the Wii exclusive Star Wars: Clone Wars Game. For me this really is sad news, because I absolutly love Nintendo's other systems, yet so far the Wii only has had four really good games: Mario, Smash Bros., Zelda, and Metroid, all of which are Nintendo's flagship series. Where are the Wii's Double Dragon, Final Fight, Contra, and Castlevannia Games?

Over all it seems we've got a lot to look forward too in the coming months, hopefully Microsoft and Sony live up to their hype, and Nintendo starts releasing better games and less accessories.

I've been thinking about starting a console wars union for a long time. If anyone can help me out I'd greately appreciate it.

Finally saw the new Hulk Movie, personally I find it a major improvement over Ang Lee's verson, the new Hulk actually looks and acts more like the Hulk in the comic. I really liked the cameo of Lou Ferrigno aka the Hulk from the live action TV Show , and having him provde the voice for the CGI Hulk was a nice touch. Here's hoping Dark Knight is a good film
