    RE: Next Generation Systems

    the only psp game I've seen that's compellingly good is Lumines. And while that's a kickass game, it's certainly not worth $350 to get it, ya know?

    But don't bag on the xbox just because it's microsoft. MS is not going away. And the console is pretty damned good. Microsoft and gaming go hand-in-hand ... their DirectX apis have LONG been the choice of game developers for the versatility and performance, and ease of development compared to OpenGL. Not to mention platform standardization and backward compatibility.

    Besides, the line between consoles and pc's is blurring. They're both computer equipment. Just that one's got a keyboard and mouse, and the other has a custom controller.

    RE: Next Generation Systems



    Right now neither the DS or the PSP is a must buy. There are absolutely no really killer app titles that demand my attention. I'm more inclined towards the DS mostly because I hate sony after what they did to sega. I'm really hoping that nintendo pulls out a killer app or two during E3. So far PSP isn't selling as well as it was expected to. Mostly because sony is trying to market it as an all inclusive multi media device. For the average consumer it's very confusing because they have no idea of what to make of it. Sony should have distinguished the PSP as a gaming machine and used all of the other features as nice extras. PSP isn't as good for watching movies or listening music it's just something that you get as a nice extra.

    I'm really hoping nintendo dosen't fuck up with the revolution. I'm getting mixed messages but nothing will be clear until E3 comes along. Also Bungie should be shot for what they did with halo 2's ending. This penny-arcade strip sums up my feelings best.

    Here's another one that pokes fun at the sony microsoft pre E3 press party battle.

    Generally I don't like most of the penny arcades strips but when they hit the mark they go straight for the jugular.
