  Me? A PS3? Quite possibly!

  Well through a collection of recent events including the lowering of the PS3s price and the possible addition of yet another HD TV to my humble house I may just end up buying a PS3. No I will not throw away my Wii or ditch my computer but this certainly opens up an exciting amount of possibilities to me as a gamer. I don't have much time to blog but I have quite a few games I'm considering!

  • Uncharted
  • Uncharted 2
  • Little Big Planet
  • Lost Planet 2
  • Battlefield 2 Bad Company
  • Fat Princess
  • Batman: Arkham Asylum

  That's about it for now. I've been researching quite a few games but these struck me as priorities for my possibly soon to be PS3. If you guys could recommend me some good games that would be fantastic or tell me if any of the games I'm considering suck and should be dodged at all costs. Now keep in mind I can't get M rated games.

  Anyways Wii wise I'm very excited for New Super Mario Bros. Wii and I just got Excite Bots yesterday. I'm impressed with Excite Bots, they really put an emphasis on the craziness and gave the formula a turn for the better. I would currently recommend it but then again, I've had it for like one night so...

  Anyways sorry about my recent lack of blogging, don't worry I didn't dissapear from GS, I've actually been pretty active. I just never seem to find the time or attention span to blog anymore. See you guys later!

  PS3 maybe, frogloe

  lol it's a rant

  I'm still having a little trouble understanding why so many people feel the need to complain and give up on Nintendo. I don't want to offend anyone but come on! For the past twenty years Nintendo has delivered top notch games that have hardly even hit 7.0s and such then for one or two years they have decided to experiment. Yes it seems a little money crazed but it was only one year or so. Now I can understand a little frustration and perhaps some sophisticated and well thought out criticism but it was much more than this. You see some of us decided we were too impatient, not to wait one year of our life to perhaps try other things maybe take a break from Nintendo but to let go off Nintendo entirely with the notion that Nintendo had betrayed you and gone down the crapper. And only a little over a year! What baffles me even more is now Nintendo begins it's return with a good looking bunch of games such as SMG 2, Metroid Other M, NSMBW, and two Zeldas and you complain further. You complain that there is no star fox or F Zero. Yes these games may be absent for another year but their not dead and Nintendo can't release a new game for every franchise they've created every year! Then while Nintendo continues its return you complain that they milk their franchises. Now yes they go overboard I'll admit to that but no matter how much they milk it their games still end up great in the long run! You complain that NSMBW is just a DS game with a Wii box and four players slapped onto it- hey wait a second. Your complaining that one of the most popular game series back in the 80s and 90s that went missing for 10 years and now returns to fans delight isn't good enough. Wasn't it just a few years ago you were complaining that it was absent? Mario galaxy 2 is called milking too. Yes it's not as original as it was but call me crazy, the original could have had more. Such a concept has yet to be explored in depth. You should be happy that they're taking the time to explore even further into the worlds beyond ours and continue to explore a new concept. Metroid Other M appears to have dissapeared from your radar and I don't know why. Finally there are the two Zeldas. When Spirit Tracks was announced only god knows how much flaming Nintendo got. Honestly? Nintendo didn't give you exactly what you wanted and boom here comes the armada.Let's face it people no matter what platform it's on Zelda is Zelda. Then Zelda Wii is just about the only game I haven't seen a lot of complaints on. So to be honest there just isn't a whole lot of reason to complain. It's not going to be what everybody wanted, it's not going to be the next Halo shooter, it's not going to have graphics that make us drop our jaws but was it that way back in the age of the NES and SNES? No and yet we still enjoyed the games. I'm not implying that the 360 and PS3 suck, they deserve an applause aswell, I'm just saying Nintendo isn't dead or betraying us. They just want us to enjoy the gameplay and not enjoy a game based off how mature it is, or how good the graphics are, or how next gen it is. No matter what system it is Nintendo is still being the Nintendo from 20 years ago whether you recognize it or not.

  I posted this rant in the comments somewhere. Took three posts. I just thought you guys should see it. I though it was a nice little rant. I didn't flame anybody so hurray!

  New Theme+7 Days to E3+ Best Metroid Review

  Well would you look at that! I finally got a new theme on the Conduit. I'll admit that it's been ages since I've designed so I feel like this wasn't top notch work, but I'm satisfied with it. So if you will tell me how my new look is.

  Next I have to say that E3 is a mere week around the corner. You know what that means? Niether do I! Hopefully this year will be good and surpass last year. Not to sound pessimistic or anything.

  Anyways to countdown to E3 I'll be posting a review blog of the best of every Nintendo Series. Now the review in my blog will have pictures while the review will also be posted in my reviews. So you might want to catch the blog review because it'll be a lot better. So I decided to start off the week with Metroid. Here I go:

  -------------------------------------------

  Review: Metroid Zero Mission: 8.5

  The best Metroid game experience but is it a little short lived?

  I'm going to give it to you straight this is probably the best Metroid game made, atleast in my opinion. I'll start off with the story. This game is basically a re-cap of Samus's very first adventure. While it does follow some of the key points of the original Metroid it is not entirely the same. The game has more to offer and some spit shined levels. They've taken the original game a buffed it up with new features, graphics, and more.

  The first and most easily noticed change between the two is graphics. The graphics in this game have been signifigantly changed. The game has come a long way since the 1980's and now has beautful 2-d side scrolling graphics. The graphics are definately detailed and clearly had effort put into them. Enemies look more menacing, enviroments tend to look more impressive and bosses are massive and threatening all with the new graphics.

  

  Metroid has come a long way in graphics since it first came in the 1980's.

  The sound will accompany the graphics and also has changed a lot. Although the sound isn't your surround sound movie type of sound it does do alright. The music isn't impressive hollywood music but it is pretty good.

  However more important than sound or graphics is the gameplay. After years of building side scrolling shooter games, the metroid series has finally delivered it's prime experience. From the minute you start you are blasting with your arm cannon. You can get enemies from all angles with the ability to aim up, side, diagnol or even down. You'll never miss an enemy and you're ensured the maximum 2-d experience. Switching weapons proves to be easy as ever, you can press a button and your ready to fire a barrage of missiles. The game is so easy to get a hang of that the metroid nooby could pick it up and enjoy this fine adventure.

  Besides the enemies the exploring is also well done. Traveling to any point on any part of the planet can be easy with the right tools. There are endless amounts of items to hunt down as you explore and they all give you a reason to explore the planet even further. As you get more tools, more of the planet will become accessible and you can explore more to gather more items. Although backtracking is frequently required and can get annoying at some times it still isn't near as upsetting as other games. With a map provided you can find that area that you haven't explored and get to it without too much hassel.

  

  The game provides an endless amount of items tofind while exploring.

  Fighting is also a great experience. Most enemies you can wipe out just by shooting them a number of times but others will require a strategy. Enemies despite this, are still very unique. Some will hang off theroof while other hop from place to place. Some can move across any surface no matter it's angle. Then the bosses, while there a few of them, theyare large and menacing. Most of the bosses require a strategy to defeat them. The bossesprovide a good difficulty and are by no means dissapointing. My only complaint would be that some of them still only require shootingmaking them too simple. But never-the-less they are still fun.

  

  Bosses are often large and menacing.

  One of the big downsides of the game is the length. Your first play through you will most likely be to simply beat the game. You can accomplish that in a very short amount of time. Unless you aim to get all items it is unlikely that the game will last you very long. The replay value is also very small, especially it you'll gotten to the Space Pirate ship. At some point you won't be able to go back and get items. Your best bet is to restart the game and that can be annoying if your trying to get all items.

  Overall this game is a great experience. It may be short but it is still the best that Metroid can offer and that's pretty good. If your a Metroid fan or your just searching for a good game, this is a must buy.

  ------------------------------------------

  More is to come! Well that's it for this blog, see you tommarow!

  Has a new theme, frogloe
