I'm about one step away from not buying a PS3...ever. Just rip that stinking bd-rom out of there, drop the price $200, and then push it as a video game console and not some low quality blu-ray player. Sony...you suck. Have a good weekend!http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/kutaragiyoure-reason-sony-sucks.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115937471058559319Wed, 27 Sep 2006 16:30:00 +00002006-09-27T11:36:50.273-05:00Well not really but I was reading over at CR.com and Stan Beer over at iTWire tries to hold his own against the onslaught that he has received by flamboyant Nintendo fans from his blog post earlier. PS3 will continue to rule was the blog post that put the target on Stan's back. Nintendo fans say Wii will rule despite the facts is the post that where he tries to justify his kid convincing him to http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/stan-beer-stoned-by-nintendo-fans.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115868797804023092Tue, 19 Sep 2006 17:38:00 +00002006-09-19T12:47:56.563-05:00Considering that the Wii & PS3 will sell out regardless this holiday, just like every other console launch, and given the fact that it will be the holiday season of '07 that will give us a clearer picture of where the big three will be standing in the future. With that in mind I concluded that the $250 launch price for the Wii sets it up very nicely for the holiday season of '07. Given that it http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/why-250-wii-might-be-good-for-07.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115868205671948413Tue, 19 Sep 2006 15:54:00 +00002006-09-19T11:09:59.066-05:00That is the question. Since the announcement of the $250 price tag it seems that the gaming community has divided on whether the Wii is worth it. As for me, it’s well worth it but does the innovation with the Wiimote merit its worth to others? Considering the screams booming across the internet from angry gamers of every type it's apparent that answer is no for some. So that leads me to the http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/do-wii-need-tech-specs.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115834747890197622Fri, 15 Sep 2006 19:11:00 +00002006-09-15T14:11:19.346-05:00Well ever since IGN had posted their inside source specs on the Wii some have come to terms that the 729 MHz CPU & 243 GPU was what we were going to be getting in the Wii. Now I don't expect some insane power in that little box like the PS3 but I've always thought it to be between the 1ghz-2ghz range. In no way will I be disappointed if it happens to be true about the specs on IGN but something http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/wii-more-powerful-then-wii-thought.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115834267679520797Fri, 15 Sep 2006 17:50:00 +00002006-09-15T12:51:18.446-05:00Well since finding out about the price tag & launch date of the Wii Nintendo has started a snowball of excitement that leaves me only wanting more. From region free in the US & Japan, the Wiichannels, and the very nice list of games coming to the Wii at launch through '07 has just left me wanting more. Considering all the info and new game trailers that we have been flooded with I'm still left http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/wii-want-more.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115826093177655902Thu, 14 Sep 2006 18:54:00 +00002006-09-14T14:08:51.786-05:00Back when the Wii was codenamed Revolution and they first announced their goofy controller I was pumped. Just the thought of it made me excited. Also considering I'm a huge FP/S fan I couldn't stop dreaming of the possibility of being able to experience a FPS on a console like I do on the PC. Now I know back when the Dreamcast first launched and I picked up Quake 3 I did use the Dreamcast's http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/wii-coming-keyboardmouse-dated.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115824481000227244Thu, 14 Sep 2006 14:20:00 +00002006-09-14T09:40:11.073-05:00Finally we receive the release date of Nov. 19 & the cost of $250 for the Wii in the US. It will come with one Wiimote, one nunchuck attachment, an AC adapter, an audio/video cable, a sensor bar, sensor bard stand, a Wii console stand, two batteries and a copy of Wii Sports. There will be 30 titles released with in the launch window with about half of them available at launch along with 30 some http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/wii-news-and-all-things-great.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115817369665363880Wed, 13 Sep 2006 18:52:00 +00002006-09-13T13:54:56.666-05:00According to Spong.com the Wii will ship with a system updated disc when it launches in the coming months.

I've said I wouldn't offer any ways to try and help game reviews but I've since changed my mind. The one advice I offer is to apply the K.I.S.S method to your reviews. This method is to be as simple and straightforward as possible, Can you handle it? Heck, game developers even use this method when making games so why shouldn't you apply it when writing up a reviewhttp://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/game-reviewers-try-to-keep-it-simple.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115799893692032413Mon, 11 Sep 2006 18:10:00 +00002006-09-11T13:26:09.990-05:00I read this over on neogaf.com. Which wouldn't supprise me if the Wii pushes a lot more than what has been said in the past throughout the "rumor mill". Very interesting to say the least. _bla_ wrote: Someone on IGN boards found a video of Broadway being manufactured by IBM.

Amongst the gaming community the term "hardcore" is a mystery in its own right. The very meaning of hardcore varies greatly from one gamer to another and more often then not it ends up making someone sound ignorant. What truly defines a hardcore gamer? Is it how many hours a week you play? How many games/consoles you own? What genre of game you own?

Contrary to what you believe, Wii games for the most part ignore “hardcore” gamers. Just look at its lineup. It’s filled with games like Elebits, Super Monkey Ball, Duck Hunt and Excite Truck.

Well MLG offers just that and the great thing is that "anyone and everyone can participate in MLG competitions. There are no special requirements; there is no waiting list. All you have to do is register, show up, and compete." Major League Gaming features two competitive games which are Halo 2 & Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Okay, maybe not 90% but it tends to feel that way after reading a review that takes 5-10mins to go through. No wonder non-gamers remain non-gamers. Sure Nintendo is doing there part by pumping out some games that are attracting non-gamers but what do you think goes http://worseless-gamer.blogspot.com/2006/09/whats-wrong-with-game-reviews-these.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (admin)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594061.post-115756626548945549Wed, 06 Sep 2006 18:00:00 +00002006-09-06T13:58:16.766-05:00 Here's the site http://www.aperturescience.com/ and it's like a DOS prompt that you can play around with.

First off, Metroid Prime: Hunters is a 10 all the way, hands down. I also don't know why there were so many complaints about the controls and it having a high learning curve.

From the updated specs sheet on the US Playstation 3 site that states the following; "HDMI cable not included. Additional equipment may be required to use the HDMI connector." They should just yank HDMI out of the PS3 along with Blu-ray. How many games are going to support 1080p at launch? I thought so.
