The Wii ain’t no fad bitches
Says the President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime. Of course he did not use those exact words. In a recent interview with the San Francisco Chronicle Fils-Aime said " We are finding that consumers are playing a wide range of software much beyond Wii Sports. People are playing their Wii consoles frankly more today than the day we launched
The Reggantor also expressed his like of BioShock he says the game was really well done, and here’s an interesting little kicker. He also would like to have Halo on the Wii. And questions the sanity of anyone who would not want to have Halo on their consoles. He also added if you don’t read this blog a million kittens will be shaved and thrown into the sun.. . .Ok I made that last one up.
In Other Nintendo news it seems we can’t go anywhere with out getting hit with some sort of Super Smash Bros. Brawl news. Whether it’s to the bathroom or the funeral home we always here something new about SSBB. I’m sure we have all heard the news about the releases date being pushed to Feb. 10th, King DEE DEE joining the cast. Now We have even more news about the game. But don’t worry this news is quite interesting.
SSBB is going to feature a level editor. That’s right Fanboys I said a level editor. This will allow gamers to choose the background pattern, stage sise, platform placement and music. Players will be able to send out custom made levels to friends, well wishers and pals. But here’s the icing on the turnup. Level makers can submit their creations to Nintendo which will then feature best level designs on a daily basis.
The entertainment and devices division of Microsoft (responsible for the 360 and games. Just letting you know for the record) Are reporting an increase of $165 million to their quarterly profits. All thanks to the wonderfully kind, and might add single Master Chief.
So, well know licensing issues cause a lot of problems, high gas prices, war and global warming. Well now licensing issues are causing the delay of SingStar for the PS3. The game was set for a December release, but now it has been pushed back to a further time. Course you licensing issues can’t you give us a break just once?
In other PlaySation 3 news we can look out for the new 40 gig model to hit store shelves on Nov. 2nd. The 40 gig version won’t have backwards compatibility with PS2 game and only two USB ports instead of four, but get this it will be a little quieter. It’s all very simple you see the 40 gig PS3 uses a smaller, cooler running 65 nanometer Cell processor which results in reduced power consumption (135 watts down from 200) and external noise that the machine gives off.Yeah.

BioShock Review.
I have played a bit of BioShock. Not as much as some people, but I have also seen a lot of the game in action. Enough to give the game a review.
BioShock is just your standard first person shooter/adventure with some RPG elements, and nifty powers you can shoot out of your hand at enemies. Wait What? We have not seen too many games that blends in genres like BioShock. Systemshock, and Deus Ex are good examples. I haven’t had a chance to play Deus Ex or Systemshock, but they have received a lot of critical praise. Trust me. And they have one thing in common with Bioshock. . .You’ll be willing to run over a monkey for your chance to play it.
The game takes place in an underground city called Rapture. I had a dog called rapture he bit me once then ran away. Life in Rapture is not like life in any of the underwater cites you have been to on vacation. Something funny has been going on at Rapture. So funny that people in the city want to kill you as soon as they see you, and some can throw fire at you, while others just like to shoot you. When you first arrive in Rapture you are guided by a nice little voice over the radio you fills you on the underwater city, and tells you what to do, and helps you upgrade and gain powers where can shoot electricity and fire out of your hand, as well as other awesome fun powers too.
One enemy to fear is the Big Daddy. They are strong, unforgiving, and weird looking. You only have to fight a Big Daddy if you attack it first. Oh and when you need to take Adam upgrades from a Little Sister. Little Sisters are these weird girls whom the Big Daddy protects. And If you want to make it anywhere further in the game you have to kill a Big Daddy to get at the Little Sister. But here’s the eye spiting good part you can to chose to harvest or rescue the little Sister. Both give you Adam, but you get more if you harvest them. And what’s more fun then harvesting a Little Sister?
In conclusion BioShock is a really fun unique game that is well worth it’s $60 dollar price tag. That’s how I’m going to review the games is by the price tag. If a game cost $60.00 but only plays like it is worth $30.00 I’ll let you know.
