I Completely Disagree!

I was on yahoo yesterday and I saw a rather interesting news article in their gaming section! It was about the top 5 games that should retire. The first one was sonic the hedgehog which I completely agree with. It has been going on too long and its not really going nowhere. I think that they should retire even if it was for just a few years so they could completely rethink it and come back with something that has never been done in the sonic franchise. Second they listed the Tony Hawk pro skateboarding series. I also agree with this one. I didn't become a gamer until the PlayStation era so I don't remember a time without these games. They are just old news, its enough already! The third game listed was the Assassins Creed franchise. When I saw it I absolutely could not believe it. Sure we are on number four now but every new game gets better. The first was crap to the second, the second was crap to the third, and the third was crap to the fourth. I am sure that when they release the fifth one this summer or whenever they said, it will make the fourth one look like absolute crap. I honestly don't remember the fourth one but i think it was one of those anime games that I don't play. The last one they listed was the Sims. I do and I don't agree with this one. I agree because they release way too many add-ons between games. There is going to be 6 in march with the addition of showtime and honestly I think five was too many. The reason I don't agree with yahoo's article is because it is still a fun game that makes it easy to waste a few hours tortur....... I mean caring for your Sims. Anyway please tell me what you think and tell me about any other games that you feel should retire. Oh one more thing! I know my posting has been erratic lately but I got an English Bulldog puppy for Christmas and long story short, he is a lot more work than anticipated! I'll post a pic of him later today!

Possible Game Changer?

Today I wanted to give my views on something else you guys might have heard of! Alienware's console sized gaming pc. When I first saw it my first thought was "This is going to be a total game changer!" Finally the console wars won't be just between Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft! I thought that if they could make it affordable it would significantly raise PC gaming popularity. Unfortunately once it came out and I saw it's features I was extremely disappointed and then I noticed the price... For $700 all you get is an Intel i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 1TB of hard drive space. Sure 1TB of HDD space is a lot but not even that makes this computer worth the $700 they are charging for it! You can get an HP slim series with an i5 Intel processor, 6GB of RAM, and 1TB of HDD space for $640, thats $60 less for twice the features! Even if all you want is what is inside the alienware pc you can order the HP slim with the exact same things and it will only come out to $550! That is $150 cheaper than the alienware pc! If you want a true gaming pc and your on a budget for just $730 you can get an amazing Intel gaming Pc from iBuypower. Anyway I would love to hear your opinions! I forgot how fun blogging is! I will probably post again tomorrow!

Valentines Day is Going to be EPIC!

I'm sure you have all heard but I'm so excited that I thought I would write about it anyway! Nicki Minaj is releasing her sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, on Valentines day! Also coming out on that day is the new Twisted Metal game which I am equally excited about! Between the two I think my head will explode from the sheer awesomeness that this Valentines day is going to bring! OH! I almost forgot!! DO NOT preorder twisted metal! If you preorder it you will not receive the voucher for the PS2 classic Twisted Metal Black! Sure you will get Axel but they plan to release him as a DLC later in the month and I am sure he will be less expensive than buying both twisted metal games separate!
