Level 36

Yep, I finally made it to this level, congratulate me guys and gals.

A RRODless 360 for a year

Yep, it finally has happened: My 360 has lasted one year without the RROD. My previous 2 360s got RROD months before reaching a year, but I found a way to take care of this one, it is a newer model after all, a Falcon to be exact. I overcame the usual assumptions of 360s breaking a lot, which is kind of blown out of proportion. Now excuse while I continue to play with it...

And now for some Wii news!

No Wii HD?

According to a article, Reggie says there won't be a Wii HD, despite all those rumors. While I'm glad those rumors can rest, I still wish to see Zelda and Zero Suit Samus in HD, oh well, I can always dream. Maybe next gen?

Create games for the Wii

If you had seen my sig on the forum, you know it says something about creating games for the Wii. Maybe not commerical games, but using a program called Wii Game Studio would allow you to create 2D games for the Wii. It's pretty much Game Maker with a different look and I've been using Game Maker for a while so I should be used to it as it's easy to use.

If you want to create 3D Wii games however, you have to use Unity 3D, but that's for commerical use though. This is some cool stuff eh, who said the Wii is useless after all?

New Super Mario Bros. Wii and COD 4 Modern Warfare: Reflex

The more videos I see of NSMB Wii, the more I want it, with 4 player co-op, the Koopa Kids making a return and being in 3D for the 1st time and the videos do make the game look fun despite it's graphics. I enjoyed the DS one despite the difficulty and I would most likely love this game. As for COD 4 Modern Warfare Reflex, I'm not getting it, while the game got better graphically as the youtube videos proved it, the graphics are still flawed and I have COD4 on PC anyways. Great for Wii owners who didn't play the HD versions though.

Now to end the Wii talk and speak of the PC version of MW2...

PC version of MW2 gets numerous complaints

If you think the $60 price tag is bad enough for a PC game, you haven't seen the features taken out of it, I'll start with this chart:

And to top it off, someone makes fun of it with this pic:

Yeah, while funny and cruel, it's sadly true. It will still sell millions, but would PC gamers like it? Stay tuned next week to find out. This game has been leaked on 360 BTW.

IW to stop making COD games?

Yep, you heard it hear folks, another article I found said IW would stop making those games when it stops being fun to make. Er, ok, that's going to be hard to do seeing what direction they're taking, but hopefully so since I want to see some new IPs from them, they have the talent after all.

Valve attacks PSN community, Pitchford responds to them

Yeah, I can't believe it either, here's what Valve said:

"Right now for Left 4 Dead 2 we're looking at PC and 360 because the community aspects really fit the game - it's all about playing with your friends,"

"But that's the short term. What we're looking at for the long term... if it works out, it works out. Right now don't not buy it on the 360 because you think it's coming out on the PS3 - it's not going to. Right? It's coming out on the PC and 360. It's going to be exclusive for that."

"In hooking up with your friends and the community aspects, I think the Xbox 360 is head and shoulders above the PS3. The 360 and PC are on par, right?"

Ouch, harsh words, and Pitchford's response:

"[Valve VP of marketing] Doug Lombardi had to take a swipe at the PS3 again, and I thought it was foolish,"

"I read it the same way I read fanboys,"

"Like there's a guy who brought the Sony platform and he's a Sony guy, so he decides he's going to spend a certain percentage of his time bashing Microsoft. And there's a guy on Microsoft doing the same thing. Those guys are childish and narrow minded; It's the same kind of thing."

Yeah, I should stay out of this one.

Now to end this blog with a few things

Mass Effect is $10 on Steam, I should buy it to see how different it is from the 360 version.

My next blog will talk about the girls on Gamespot, mainly the ones I'm friends with, and what I think about them. Why am I doing it? Well, according to this site(and many game sites in general), hardly any girls come here and I'll prove them wrong. They're just like us males and should be treated equally.

And to end with a sig with Aika from the game Skies of Arcadia
