The next project from Bungie is coming. In what could be the shortest update ever, Bungie also released the most important news since, well, the new maps. Here's the most telling part:
It's really making progress in an exciting and fascinating way. And I can't wait to share that with you properly. The level of secrecy is every bit as oppressive and confining for us as it is for you. Much, much bigger update next week. See you then!
E3 starts next week. I offically can wait no longer. I must know. Do you think driving a semi through the convention sotry would count as illegal? (J/k....I know, I know, illegal. Please no cops at my door tomorrow)

Star Wars Day 2006
For the third stright year, we are going to have a Star Wars day.
This year, Septemeber 12, 2006 will mark the release of the orginal Star Wars on DVD. Each will be sold as its own special 2-Disc set, that will include both orginal and special editions.
Also on 9/12, Lego Star Wars II will come out, and it has been revealed that the game will be available on the 360.
Also annouced today...The Sopranos Videogame, devleoped by THQ. Should be cool, even if it's just to hear the theme song during the menu scene.
Remember to stay at CR for "Continual" (and maybe "Random") updates from E3 06.

Oblivion Rating Changed to 'M'
The ESRB has changed the rating for Oblivion from 'T' to 'M' today, after a response to the "Nude Mod" for the PC. The rating was also changed for the the Xbox 360 version, because of what looks like more violence and blood was found to be in the game.
This marks the second time in less than a year that the ESRB has reversed ratings on a game alreadly released. The first, of course, was the infamous GTA:SA, for the "Hot Coffe" mod over last summer.

AP Tests 2006
There were be even fewer posts than normal this week, to to my intense work on four AP Exams. This year, it's AP Computer Science A, which I took yesterday (can't comment on it untill tomorrow), English Lit, Government and Politics, and MacroEcon.
In other news this week...
PopCap annouces Heavy Weapon will debut on the Xbox 360 (Very cool game)
Verizion to offer free week of Live next week
UNO game coming sometime next week
Still nothing on SF 2, but I'd be shcoked if it doesn;t come out this week or next.
I'll be here on may 9th, however, to cover all of the glory of E3. Remember, CR is your best spot on the 'Net to get a round-up of whats happening on the show floor, from someone who isn't there.

My 360 Can Blog
This is kinda weird, but very cool. There's this site (www.360voice.com) that provides a blog that your 360 writes. Apparently, it looks at your GamerScore and games played to "blog" about your experience. Now that's some cool Java programming!
Here's a link to my 360's blog, however, it says it takes 2 days for it to gather enough info.

I Hate This Strikes Back
Time again for another installment of I Hate This. It's been awhile since I've made any posts in this category...but today I got pissed off so much, well, I had to blog about it.
I hate people that stop right in the middle of your walking path. You know what I'm talking about. Your walking along, going with the flow and trying to reach your destination, hwne the person in front of you just stops, usually to join some other group and chat. Your left with either making a quick turn to avoid them, which usually involves you bumping into someone else, or stop short and re-plan your main route.
I hate people that stop short, right in front of me.

Introducing: Wii
This is soooo funny, I don't even know where to start. I geuss the offical press release is good:
Introducing... Wii.
As in "we."
While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames that sets it apart from the crowd.
So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything.
And, of course, here's the immediate reaction that can only truly happen on forums. Here you have the intial WTF, the "I don't care" and the "wait...this could be cool." Here's an excerpt from the very first posts on the name from TeamXbox.com:

I dont care for the name either, it makes it sound like it's being dedicated to the Japanese market. I think they put too much thought into a name when it just needs to be something simple and not have complex meanings. Even the rumored "Go" name was better (not by much though).

in retrospect, do you guys still think 360 is a bad name?I think it's great. No one says "xbox 360", it's just "Check out this game for the 360" or "When's Halo for the 360 coming out?"I think xbox 360 sounded dumb at the time, but it is certainly better than xbox2 or Xbox Next, and I think the name has taken on an identity of it's own. It's "the 360"...so, you guys still think 360 is a stupid name?

yeah...that name does suck. What are you going to do, be like,.."hey guys, i'm gonna go play with my wii" that would suck.

the codename was better, but I'm betting that Eastern markets will love the name...remember, Nintendo is, at heart, a company for kid's games. The kids will get this name, they will remember this name. It is what it is. Would Revolution have been better for the Western Markets (specifically the 18-34 year old male demographic?) Yes. But for the kid markets, Wii will work very well.All the same, let the perverted jokes begin...

Thats great..Wiipdii doo.anyways just read this at another zdnet"The main culprit is the game division, which Sony said would rack up an operating loss of $871.8 million this business year as it gears up to launch the PS3 in November, overshadowing an expected recovery by its core electronics unit.Sony said it expected to sell 6 million PS3 units by March.AND THE KICKER ----"We believe that we can lower costs dramatically (on the PS3) through chip shrinkage and by cutting the number of parts, but there is no way to avoid high costs in the first year," Sony Senior Vice President Takao Yuhara told a news conference."Cutting the number of parts....hmm...lets see...blueray...1 hdmi port....hard drive....what else....oh maybe they will make the ethernet port an addon accessory again!

Whee! and awesome.
Now, as far as what I think: I think it's actually pretty cool. It's odd, yes, but I like it, and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's becuase it's different, and I'm sick of seeing so much of the same boringness that videogames have become lately. Sure, you can go ahead and make fun of Nintendo for picking a name that rhymes with both pee and wee, but, can you really not appluad them for taking a risk at being orginal?

Far Cry is One Long Game
These last couple of weeks I've been going through Far Cry Instincts, and man, it's a pretty long game. It's good, and mildly entertaining for a FPS, but it has some serious flaws. In fact, out of the current FPSs on the 360, I'd say it has the most. And the biggest.
Cheif of my complaints is the gernade kills. They are impossible to avoid, and just plain suck. You ca be one kill from clearing a tough area, when all of sudden your laying dow on the floor, dead. There is no way to see them and move out of the way. You just die.
Another thing is how so much of the game is just searching for a blue dot. I'm serious, the game is set up so that for hours on end, your only real goal is reaching one place. It just gets boring after awhile.
And don't even get me started on the controls.
From this post, you might gather that I don't like Far Cry, but that's not entirly true. It's just not "as good" as I might have hoped.
Expect a review to come probably around May 1...by than I should be finsihed with both stories.

GRAW Review Up
Youd can now read my full final review of GRAW over at TeamXbox, or by clicking here.
Thursday, April 13, 2006
Anyone Miss the "Old" Major Nelson?
Recently, I've grown rather boared of Major Nelson's blog. When it first came out, in May 2004, the blog was more than a shopping list of DLC for the Xbox. In fact, it was more than just "insider" MS news. Remember the Vasaline story? That was interesting.
Ever since the site switch, and the release of the 360, Major Nelson.com has become less of a real blog and more of informational site.
Don't get me wrong--I like the Marketplace updates. They definatly are handy, and I don't know where else I would find the info. However, shouldn't the blog be alittle more than just updates to the martketplace.
If you don't see the problem, here some stats for you. In the last 3 weeks, 26 of the 54 posts were about Marketplace contents. 6 of those posts, by the way, we're the weekly Live stats and blogcats. Taking those out of consideation, that means that 54% of the posts have been solely about new content on the martketplace.
On the other side, there were only 3 or 4 rel "non-Xbox insider" news, depending on how you look at it. Thats only 8% of the total posts. As far as I'm concerned, that's too low to be considered a "blog".
Perhaps Major needs to rethink the way his blog works. I'm not saying he should take out the Marketplace updates, but perhaps he should try to post about some more random things. His blog is called Random Thoughts, after all.

Too Bad It Will Suck
EA releases the cover for Superman Returns today. In the words of the now infamous PKG (of teamXbox.com foum fame)... EA + Superman = Suck. And I'd have to say I'd agree. Plus, the recent target images are far from impressive. I suppose there is some hope, becuase as long as the game features the famous Williams soundtrack, the audio will rock.
The movie, on the other hand, looks great. I personally can't wait for this summer to roll around for all of the great movies coming out. As far as games go...the only gem hanging out there pre-E3 is Gears of War.
Final Push
Today begins the final push towards the end of my high school career. Just back from spring break 2K6, there are just 9 weeks left untill Grad Night. I'm really getting pretty excited.
Again, I've been accepted to UC Davis and will probably be going there. A few more weeks left, we're into the final push.

I'm Back
OK, so I'm back from my double San Francisco trip. First off, heres a recap of events in my life. From Thursday to Sunday, I was on "Band" Trip up to the bay area. We stopped off at Paramount's Great America, which has some pretty awsome rides for the size of the park, and Pier 39. Than, the next day (Monday) I turned around and headed right back up there to cheek out Cal and UC Davis. I liked the Davis campus a whole lot more, and I'm probably going to end up going there.
While I was gone, here's some of the news in the tech world:

Finished GR:AW
I finished the single player mode of GR:AW last night. It rocks! Expect a full review to come, probably latter (today...man it's late).
Not sure how many posts I'll have for the remainder of the week...I'm leaving Thursday for a San Francisco trip and I won't be "home" untill Sunday, only to leave and head back up there untill Wednesday. It's crazy, I know...but I'm actually looking foward to it. Unless the hotels have Wi-Fi, my posting over the next week will be skethcy. That said, I may try to do some uber-rare audio updates from my cell phone, but, I always feel retarded when I do them. So, maybe. Possibly.
In other news, I'm getting Far Cry for the 360 this week, although I, for the reasons above, won't have much time to play it. There were some big PS3 and Revoultion annoucments made last week, but none of them peeked my interest enough to post.
Oh, and I was wrong once again on a demo date, but this time it really wasn;t my fault. EA has gone on record stating it's all MS...so there. I still belive there will be wave of content out this week. There better be, if MS wants to save any face from this horrid Q1. In my entire life of videogames, I have never seen such a dull and lackluster quater. MS better get its head in the game before Novemeber if it wants to bet out Spony before 2010.

Burnout Revenge Demo Out
There's a new demo for Burnout Revenge out on the martketplace today. I think there's also a new GRAW theme and The Outfit gamerpics as well.
Expect to see the fabled GRAW demo out either this Thursday, or next Friday for the Free Live Weekend Deal. Also, expect Street Fight II and Texas Hold 'Em to come out "around" there.

While the game has been out for awhile, I haven't had a chance yet to get more than a few hours into it, so these really are my opening thoughts.
First off, the single player. This style of gameplay just isn't for me, but I can live with it. The graphics are nice, and the story is interesting. The controls are alittle cluncky, however. I'm just not sure if I'm going to end up liking this SP experiance.
The multiplayer, however, is great. Really great. Best Live experiance for 360 so far, maybe even best Live since Halo 2.No lag, tons of options, and great maps make this a sure-fire win.
Overall, my opening thoughts score is a 3/5. I'm impressed by the multiplayer, but a little put off by the single.
Prethoughts: 4/5
Opening Thoughts: 3/5
Clsoing Thoughts: Coming Soon
