Games! Games! Games!

Was the list what you expected? Did it encompass everything that is Mario? Well, no, not exactly. They seemed to have skipped out on all of the Mario sports games that have ever been created, from Mario Golf and Mario Tennis (I’m talking original Game Boy here, as well as more recent versions on the GameCube and DS) to Super Mario Strikers and Mario Hoops 3-on-3. And what about the original Donkey Kong? Super Paper Mario? Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix? Okay, that last one definitely doesn’t deserve to be on this list.

Anyone here ever lose a friend over an online RPG or even first person shooter?

8:55 — Microsoft VP Jeff Bell comes out to introduce Scene It?, based on the DVD games, "fully interactive" for Xbox 360. New questions, new clips. Game will come with a new controllers that they’re announcing tonight. It’s a one-handed controller with a big button and four answer buttons. Four of these controllers come bundled with Scene It for "same price" as a normal 360 game. (So, $60.)

Before, everyone thought that Super Smash Bros. Brawl would only be playable using the GameCube controller. And so, when it was finally confirmed that ALL kinds of Wii controllers would be supported, it posed some very interesting implications on the typical Smash Bros. gameplay that we’ve grown familiar with. However, this revelation is only the beginning, apparently.

We do own a Playstation, but to be honest I have always preferred Nintendo's gaming products over that of Sony. Therefore this news will not really affect my own purchasing.

Sí, señores… sabíamos que se iba a hacer un Video Games Live en España, pero no sabíamos donde. Se especulaba Barcelona (por guay) y Madrid (por capi), pero ha ganado Valencia (por Campus Party).

Is it a plot by Sony or simply another glitch in a Microsoft design? We all grew accustomed to the Microsoft Windows “Blue Screen of Death” in the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s. Are we now going to accept the XBox 360 equivalent? At least Microsoft is acknowledging the error in their support site. Not only is Microsoft acknowledging it, the are reacting to it as well. In a move that will cost M$ over $1billion, they are extending the warranty on the 360 from 12 months to 3 years.
