Who thought the movie was cool? Raise your hand. Ok, now, who actually just raised their hand? Yeah, I think I’m funny and you think I’m an idiot. Works for me. Transformers is a great movie in a lot of opinions. Many things contribute to that: directing, actors, visual effects, sounds, lighting, editing, cool cars, awesome action scenes, and of course the robots. Then there’s the video game.

Since the Super Nintendo, I haven’t played video games a lot, except for Super Smash Bros Melee on the GameCube. Since the announcement of Nintendo Revolution, now called Wii, I closely followed the news of the gaming world. Wii is going to be sold at 250 USD, Xbox 400 USD and Playstation 600 USD.

The high price of the PS3 can be explained by a bunch of features that nobody will use everyday when the console is released or even one year from the release date. By the time those features are spread everywhere, either the PS3 will be cheaper or there will be a new better console, so there really are no good enough reasons to spend 600 USD on a PS3.

As for the Xbox 360, it was release last year a month before Christmas. I never touched one, but apparently, people love the Xbox Live feature. A real sense of community there.

Wii will change the gaming world. It was a hit at E3. It’s not even released yet and it’s beating the crap out of Microsoft and Sony. They are so severely bruised that they both seek an alliance with Nintendo. They both said that people would have a Wii as a first choice for gaming and their respective console as a second unit. Nintendo is getting the best kind of victory there is: victory with the respect of competitors and enemies.

“I don’t want to swing my arms to hit the ball in a baseball game”. I should probably mention that this statement isn’t about an actually baseball game. The comment is about the new revolution in gaming …

The previous game I showed off scared the crap out of some people and turned at least one person against.

A giant tetris game can’t have the same effect, can it? This is the world’s largest Tetris game. It’s not even a mock-up, …

From the first comment I got on this post, I guess I should warn you that you should PLAY THIS GAME ALONE WITH ALL THE LIGHTS ON (if someone is in the same room but not looking and not paying attention at …
