So a week later (more if you count the demo) and I’m still playing Crackdown like a crazy penguin fool. The game has seriously taken over multiple aspects of my life. I’ve even gone as far as to discuss actual happenings in Pacific City with my Co-Workers and friends as if they were real. The game simply is the best sandbox game to come out in a long time.

On another note I was reading Ozy’s blog today and noticed he mentioned how he got to a certain point in Zelda and just stopped. I can echo is sediment, as myself as well stopped playing Zelda as soon as my broken 360 returned. Since then I haven’t gone back and gamed on the Wii much at all in fact. It’s really a shame, because the Wii is a solid little system; but for whatever reason it just isn’t for me. Sure there are certain games and experiences that I find enjoyable on it, but when I compare my feelings for it to what some of these people on the Internet think about it, I often wonder…what am I missing?

On a side note, I played some of the PS3 demo kiosk this weekend and I can honestly say I’m glad I did. I’ve been on edge about getting a PS3 for a month or so now, and was really close to pulling the trigger a few times. After playing the kiosk I can honestly say I’m not missing anything, and don’t see myself missing anything for at least a few months. Motorstorm was simply not all its cracked up to be. It’s basically ATV Offroad fury with trucks and buggies and bikes. There’s nothing innovative about the racer at all IMO. Yes the graphics are solid. Why is that? They have an amazing texture artist and a fairly easy terrain palette to work with. Is it better looking than say something like Gears of War? I don’t think so, maybe on the same level, but artistically not even close.
