I already have an XBOX 360, and the holiday season will strengthen the amount of good games. The XBL Arcade is a great system with some surprisingly addictive little games like Geometry Wars and Uno. With Gears of War launching, a new Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six, and F.E.A.R and Call of Duty 3 which my PC cannot run, and Battlefield 2 which has amazing multiplayer.
My thoughts on the PS3 is that is will not be worth owning until MGS4, of course there are rumors that it might get ported to 360 which would be awesome. I really hoping the tables stay balanced and Sony loses a little and Nintendo gains a little. Strong competition means a continued habit of good dame design.
Wii has a very strong first party lineup, but unfortunately I don't think it will have the third party support it needs until well into 07, if ever. Gamecube had almost no third party support - with the exception of Resident Evil 4, and instant classic.
So I'll be sticking with my 360 and widescreen HDTV for good online games and PC ports. Wii is my second choice for Zelda alone. Currently I'm fighting my way through expert mode on Guitar Hero 2 which is incredible and addicting. Any other GH players here?  |
