About Me: Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma. |
well i decided to get that samsung tv in 19". my fear was the game visuals would look too small that i couldn't see it, but it looks suitable.
Wii games look a little bit better on widescreen but the tradeoff is that it's little more blurry in motion than on a standard TV. do i want to get component cables or not? hmm...nah.
PS3 games look awesome on widescreen and using the HDMI cables help. there is a difference with 480i and 720p/1080i. Motorstorm looks way better. there are some visual details that were overlooked. now i could see what the billboards say and the sparks are more noticeable.
it's one of the newer Samsung models in white. one of the things i'm debating is whether to go 19" or 23". the 19" is on sale at RCWilley @ 449 and the 23" $300 more. there is a notable difference in screen size but my question is..is it worth an extra 300 bucks? anybody here have an HDTV set, if so what brand, how much did it cost ya, and more importantly are you happy with it?
it's probably suicide that i just bought a PS3 but i don't care. i was thinking of waiting but i just don't see a price drop happening anytime soon if Sony's arrogance has led me to believe. if i felt inclined, i could maybe just sell it off and get a 360. i don't see that happening right now. we'll see in about a year. if MGS4 gets pushed back to '08 and possibly goes multiplatform, then Sony is fucked. even if MGS4 gets released this year as a PS3 exclusive, i could still see it being overshadowed by Halo 3 but at least it will give Sony some ground to cover. i think a 360 price cut of $50 seems logical as it's been out for almost two years already. then again, they aren't being pressured to do so.
edit: i feel like redoing it from scratch. something doesn't seem right. maybe i should write more personally instead of it coming out like an information piece. i want my review to be informative and also project my experience with the game.
Wii Sports
Motion sensing technology used in video games have come a long way since the days of the infamous Power Glove. More often than not, the games of the 80's and 90's weren't specifically designed with this technology in mind. Thus the controls were either too complicated or they just didn't work. It was only during the beginning of the 21st century that motion sensing games began to make strides.
i finally beat Twilight Princess after playing for a month. 51 hours is my total time. previously Wii Sports occupied my Wii system for 3 weeks. now i got ExciteTruck and Trauma Center: 2nd Opinion to keep my Wii busy for the rest of January. i'm tempted to get Elebits, but it'll have to take a backseat to Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. This is my next Wii game to get.

by now i've clocked in almost 50 hours on Twilight Princess. i think i'm pretty close to the end. so far i've got 15 heart containers, 2 pieces shy of number 16. i've collected 38 poe souls, collected 9 bugs. seems like i'm about 65%-70% complete on finding everything. this game is just as lengthy as Ocarina of Time was, maybe just a tad shorter. i'm pretty sure i will fight Ganon eventually. that's no secret. surprisingly, the game only mentions him once(about halfway through the game) and i have yet to meet him. i liked how Ganon was established as the main villian from the outset in OoT. it just made his prescence all the more frightening. there have been some wonderful cinematics in TP, but that was early on in the game. the narrative seems a little bit less weightier than OoT. it does
Snatcher - finally got this game to work on the emulator. the one i'm playing is the Sega CD version. even though the presentation looks outdated...the story, sound effects and music is still top-notch. Hearing a blood-curdling scream upon arriving at the abandoned factory and the horror that awaits inside is by far the best moment in the game. right now i'm suppose to look for this Napoleon guy, but at the moment I got kicked out of Gibson's house for being a perv to Gibson's daughter, Katrina. funny stuff, but now i'm stuck. i think i am supposed to find something there, but i can't get back inside.
