Well, my 4th year Spring Quarter has come to pass, as well as my 22nd year of life, and with it I was brought (through the giving nature of my gf) into the new console generation, by way of Xbox 360 of course (what other console is there?). After much evaluation I decided that the Wii wasn't quite the experience I wanted, and the PS3 is something that for me is a console that will become very relevant in the coming years (but not now). I'm sure Nintendo and Sony fanboys out there can respect that.

My preference lies with the well-developed online play via Xbox Live, which provides not only arcade games that my gf and I can play together, but awesome games like Rainbow Six Vegas, where I can get my multiplayer FPS fix. That being said, Oblivion and Lego Star Wars (very nostalgic) are great games too. For the Gears fans out there sorry, though the graphics engine is indeed spectacular, I get kinda bored jumping for cover and sawing giant alien insect heads off (back to Gamestop with ye).

And on the horizon! Oh the games are only beginning! Bioshock, Super Street Fighter II HD Remix, Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, GTA IV, Fallout 3, Soul Calibur IV, Beautiful Katamari, all spread out over the next year, surely enough to keep me busy. The real sad part is, I'll be in Japan from September to end of December, and will miss the frenzied release of the main two aforementioned. But oh well, I'll just have to go to the Tokyo Game Show from September 20-23 to make up for it!

Well friends, you know my gamertag, let's have a match sooner or later, eh?
