Week Recap and other News

Once again this was the week of CES and many electronics were unveiled throughout the week. During Macworld, not held at CES, Apple debuted a speach involving the new Apple iPhone that was part phone, part MP3 player, and part computer type of gadget. Also Microsoft spilled some more info about their newest operating system, Windows VISTA. They also talked a little about the new Media Center type network for your TV.

I downloaded a creepy yet interesting game named F.E.A.R. And I also finally pre-ordered World of Warcraft : Burning Crusade which will be mailed to me on Thursday. YAY! Next week on Friday I will bring you in-depth info on that as I play!

Rumor: MadCatz Wii-Mote


A poster on the GameTrailers message board uploaded images of what he says is a Mad Catz Wii-mote. He writes, "I'm an employee of the Wal-Mart electronics department, just recently we got a shipment of Wii accessories from Mad Catz and on the back of one of the product boxes it shows off their version of the Wii remote. I took some pics with my camera phone to show you guys." You can see the uploaded images after the break.

This wouldn't be the first time a Mad Catz product accidentally leaked to the public without an announcement. There is no mention of this Wii-mote on Mad Catz's website or in press releases. We've gone ahead and contacted our Mad Catz rep to find out any information regarding existence, release date and price -- but it is Sunday of a long weekend in the U.S. (Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday). A contoured alternative to the Nintendo Wii-mote would be nice, especially if the internal speaker is less tinny. Also, at this point, we'd give anything to end this Wii-chuk and Wii-mote shortage, which still continues months after launch. We understand that getting a Wii is tough right now, but getting peripherals shouldn't be this difficult.

My thoughts:

I actually think that MadCatz have decent hardware but a wii-mote? I don't know if they can pull it off. Yes it would be cool to have a better speaker in the controller but somehow they will mess it up. They will try to make it so it is ergonomic to your hand or something and make it so your playing with a freaking piece of crap. I am very skeptical about this subject but it obviously already in the making but how it will turn out it is the question. MadCatz needs to think of how we play games, then try to make that experience better for all.


Thats all for this week, and hope to see you on Monday!

Friday is here!

Finally Friday is here and I can relax and play my new PC game I downloaded from Bittorrent. After 4 days of anticipation I finally installed the one and only F.E.A.R. I played it through the first three levels so far and have already seen a lot of blood and gore. The game has a damn creepy story... I have already almost peed my pants because of a simple yet horrific scare. The graphics are incredible and the enemy AI is...well completely perfect.

I was standing above a stairway running from a guy that was on the other side of a 3/4 way closed garage like door and he came running up the stairs to meet me. Another time I was barricading myself in a corner and one of the baddies told his squad to flank me! The enemy AI is extremely accurate. If you are looking for a in-your-face monster shooter DO NOT get this game, this game creeps you out on a freaky psychotic level.

When I was watching the extra videos (which I found out that the version I downloaded was indeed the Directors Cut Special Edition) they said that after the game one guy went to the bathroom and saw a shadow in the mirror. That very bathroom hasn't been used since. lol But enough of that because I have some amusing news taking place in the gaming world.

Run Athletics is releasing a pair of Nintendo sneakers that are quite a bit more attractive than the shoes that let you literally step into a NES. These kicks are pretty swanky, and even feature Nintendo characters on the sole, inside and out, giving 'em some real soul. The inner pattern on the outside of the shoe has a ton of invincibility stars, and check out that big Mario "M" on the shoe's tongue. Finally, you can pimp your feet out in some gaming gear that you won't be completely embarrassed to be seen in. We just wouldn't recommend wearing them in church, or on a first date. Unless you're dating a gamer, then by all means.

Damn.. School

Waking up on a snowy day is always rewarding but this morning our school decided to have us all be at school today. Oh, wow I am so happy the one day (Friday) you don't want school. It is only a mere 2 hour delay and that still means I have to "learn" today. That is not right. Just thought you needed to know.

iPhone

Apple has announced the new iPhone I'm not very excited because One: I don't have any Apple related hardware/software,Two: Although the iPhone is amazing with all its features it cost $500!!! Not to mention the touch screen will get scratched and smudged up-I know this because of my poor PSP. Even though I have my concerns about the phone, of course its going to be a big seller this year. Its shiny, sleek and new.

Ok, I am back

The holidays are over and I am not going to go into exactly what I got but I will tell you I got a new computer and World of Warcraft. WoW is very fun and I can't believe how fast I have leveled. Also I scored Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops and I have been playing online a lot lately. (MGPO Username: amorbis696)

Don't forget about the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) which just on Monday has revealed the new iPhone and iTV. Bill Gates also talked about Windows VISTA (the new Microsoft operating system)for a while on his keynote speach at the begining of CES. I will post some wrap-ups and opinions on CES tommorow too. I actually advise Treize to put down some opinions too.

One more thing... Yes, I did get my Wii and it RAWKSSS!!!
