    Windows 7: Jumping in?

    The critics have been raving about it, and judging with my hands-on time with it (actually, for quite a few hours for 3 days), it's shaping up to be a great upgrade. It's still Windows because of some of the hang-ups that still occur, so I can safely say that for a lot of the time, the Mac's stability is better. But since I have a Windows PC running XP exclusively for games, I think it's fair to say that it's finally time I made the jump. I mean, who knows, the stability would probably better since it's not a netbook (the machine I tested 7 on was a netbook, and it was still astonishingly faster than I expected) but a full fledged custom made tower.

    Then again, before I was introduced to Mac OS X Tiger, I was following Vista closely. I mean, it looked like the be-all and end-all of Windows versions, but when it was released and I had to go through some installation hang-ups and incompatibilities, as well as UAC that had to take 10 minutes to fade the screen alone, it was clear that Vista wasn't doing it for me. True, you can blame the Pentium 4 rig, but it was already the minimum requirement, so it should at least run Vista without Aero... which it didn't.

    Now that I have a decent Core 2 Duo rig, it could be a proponent to a more pleasurable upgrade experience. It may not be OS X, but I still want to ask the question: should I upgrade and jump into the Windows 7 bandwagon?

    I Like The Lego Rock Band Setlist?!

    Even though I'm a bit of a huge Rock Band fan, I wasn't very happy when WB announced a Lego Rock Band game. Actually, it kinda made me feel all dead inside. Beatles: Rock Band was fine, but this? This was overdoing it.

    And yet here I am looking at the setlist and amazed at (some of) the selections. And by that I mean Queen. Seriously. That's kinda awesome.

    True, Harmonix is going to release a 10-pack for Rock Band 2, but I reallywant to play "We Are The Champions" and "We Will Rock You". True, they're no Bohemian Rhapsody (which disappointingly isn't in the 10-pack either), but these songs are killer classics, no pun intended.

    Then again, I'm kinda sick of that Boys Like Girls song "Thunder", "Suddenly I See" is a very puzzling selection, and the P!NK song, well, let's just say it's not up to par with my tastes. OK, I know, this is a decidedly kids-oriented game, thus the puzzling selections, but there are surprisingly a decent amount of songs that I see myself liking. Hell, "Just Dance" isn't going out of my head for a while, not after Elite Beat Agents.

    In the end, I think I'm gonna buy the DS version, if only to experience the same gameplay of Unplugged on the PSP which they say is amazing.

    Bowser's Inside Story reminds me why I love Nintendo

    I've just dusted off my DS and the first few games I got for it (first time in a long time, too) were Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. I intended to play the former at first, but when I tried the latter, I couldn't put it down.

    Good writing, good gameplay and inventive mechanics make for a tight, solid RPG experience that, for the most part, improves a lot on Partners in Time, which I also loved. Before I spew out an entire review over here, I should stop right now.

    Just know that if you own a DS, this Mario game is something you shouldn't dare miss. That's all I'm gonna say for now. Reminds me why I even love Nintendo in the first place.

  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Gameplay

    Watch this video

    This is just an example as to how a typical multiplayer SSBB match can get pretty crazy with a few tweaked settings. (300% handicap, metal form and fast-motion play in Special Brawl) And no, the fast motion speed is NOT a result of editing.
