The Wii Soars

January 15, 2010 15:57:04.482

I guess that price drop to $199 helped Nintendo move units:

According to The NPD Group (via Wired), Nintendo moved 3.81 million Wii consoles in North America last month. That's 1.66 million more units than December 2008, and the record for most consoles sold in a single month. No surprise, then, that the games industry had a record month overall, besting December 2008 by 4 percent.

I like the XBox, but the Wii is still very cool. Apparemtly, lots of other people think the same thing

I'll Never See my Daughter Again

She's already obsessed with Dragon Age Origins; with an expansion planned for March, she'll never come up for air :)

Gears of War 2

January 1, 2010 11:10:52.679

I just finished "Gears of War 2", and it was pretty cool - I have to say, riding the Brumak through the Locust horde at the end was pretty fun, using the chain gun and rockets to lay waste to everything in the way :)

If you get the game, leave the credits rolling - there's a small hint as to where the next game in the series will be going.

XBox Fun

December 30, 2009 23:50:50.304

I've spent a lot of time this week playing "Gears of War 2", after having gone through the "Modern Warfare 2" campaign twice (on different hardness levels). Gears of War is a longer game, and some of the segments require you to get something "just right" to get past - I was stuck flying the Reavers against Skorge for quite awhile before I moved on, for instance.

The big thing you need to adapt to as you change shooters is the minor controller variations - there's a fair bit of difference between MW2, Gears of War, and Halo, for things as simple as throwing/evading grenades. Speaking of Halo, I haven't gotten very far in Halo 3, but then again, that's probably related to all the time I've put into Gears of War 2 :)
