In the many years of video games, there have been great designs, ex: Playstation 2 controller or Genesis. But more often than not there have been more bad designs that good. For instance, Atari Jag, Playstation 2, and now the Playstation 3 controller. Not since the Jag controller have I seen such a crappy controller. This is even worst than the Xbox "Fatty Type" Controller. The developers for this awful sack of crap should be fired. Although the system has looks that can kill, the control look out of place. So, I have a question for Sony, How much more money are you trying to make? I mean we all know after a couple of months, Sony will build a better controller. This means gamers will have to put out another 25-30 dollars for a better controller. So, Sony is so luck that Playstation itself looks good, if not sales would be crap next year.

I just played Need For Speed Underground 2, it's great game, but I feel that it will be overshadowed by GT4 and Forza. In terms of hype, I feel that GTA:SA was equal to the hype that it got and I feel it is a candidate for game of the year. In terms of Halo 2, I feel that it a great game, but it's basically Halo 1 with online play. The hype for this game was just too much, I feel no one game could equal the hype that this game got, so basiclly Halo 2 is a letdown, but still a great game. I plan to play Half-Life 2 soon, and I hope that it is one of the games that can live up to the hype that it got.

I feel that hype is a bad thing for games in general, because many great games get overshadowed by the hype of the bigger games. I mean games like Halo 2 deserve the hype, but I feel we forget lesser games because of the hype. So I say to you that you should try different games, and not judge a game just by the amount of hype a certain game get. If you need a reminder, remember Driver 3 (too much hype, but just plain bad)

Before I leave, I gotta say to the Toronto Raptors, don't trade Vince Carter, he's just in a slump, get him the right players and coaches like Butch Carter and he'll be great.
