Bought Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete for PSX

Today, I’ve been playing Madden Football 2002 on my PS2. I scored five touchdowns for the Vikings against Green Bay with the score ending 35 – 27. That was a tough game. I had to use all my time outs in the last 30 seconds to get Randy Moss (line receiver) to catch the touch down pass. The game was satisfying with nothing to do. It’s football season you know. John Madden is as classic with his so/so acting the same lines over and over. I don’t believe that Madden 2004 could possibly be much improvement over Madden NFL 2002. The other PS2 football game is ESPN NFL 2K5 which is the last football game Visual Concepts will ever make since EA decided buy a 1 deal license in football.

I’m going to get a tour in Century College on Monday. That’s where I’m getting a computer diploma in and everyone works for Geek Squad at Best Buy. Geek Squad costs a fortune to have them come over to your house from what I’ve had heard. Everyone needs a diploma . I can start with 1 or 2 classes.



I found some Xbox 360 face plates. I believe that the best one is the wood model. MS probably got that from the Atari 2600. These were used for displaying consoles.

We were talking about how Europeans are getting really bad prices on their systems. It’s 20% more than ours. That’s why I have more videogames period. I paid less for them.

Yesterday I went to Toyriffic while looking around and bought Project Snowblind for $20. Lunar Eternal Blue Complete was in an encased cabinet for $69 so I bought that too. Lunar 2 came out 12 yrs ago on the Sega CD. That makes 42 PS games, 90 PS2 games, and 62 Xbox games.

After I play Rayman 2 Revolution he best platform game starring Rayman as of yet (very colorful and showed off the hardware) because the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2 looked and felt great. I’ll take a look what Lunar 2 looks like.

Point of View of Nintendo Revolution

I know I'm biased about this and I won't be when editing pages. Nintendo makes childish games except for the mature games. The controller sucks on Gamecube, but Nintendo fans often are ecstatic about Revolution /w the remote NES controller. I haven’t seen the games yet. No one has.

Some see Nintendo trying to pattern the most successful strategy used by the music industry against illegal music downloads. Since computers have been powerful enough to emulate past-generation home consoles and the Internet provided an easy, fast, and widely accessible distribution path for ROM images. The music industry's most successful method of reducing illegal music downloading has apparently been to offer consumers a way to download music legally for a small cost. If Nintendo is successful at utilizing this model, they may be able to reduce illegal ROM downloading and open up a new revenue stream.

. Yuji Naka, the designer of Sonic the Hedgehog at Sega, said in an interview with Famitsu, "It's also great that we'll be able to play Famicom (NES) and other games via download. I hope Sega games will be playable as well.”

Nintendo’s new system fully supports Non uniform rational B-spline used in CAD. It’s better than polygons because NURBS do more shadowing and colorization while using the same tech spec hardware.

Point of View of Playstation 3

Awesome. I love the more than simple PS3 controller. It's expensive though. So far PS3 is coming out in March. It has that same dual shock controller that I am comfortable with.

The estimated cost of producing a PS3 is US $483. The Cell microprocessor, the RSX Graphics processing unit, and the BD-ROM disc feeding drive cost $101. The report also notes that Microsoft may plan to disrupt the normal console business cycle by choosing to cut the price of the Xbox 360 at the same time the PS3 launches and supports 7 USB controllers.

PlayStation 3's hard disk drives will be preinstalled with the latest version of Linux, a free operating system.

Sony’s 3rd console will be fully compatible with PlayStation 2 and PlayStation games without emulation.

Point of Xbox 360

Has potential. Xbox 360 has more anticipation than Revolution in the US for sure. High definition graphics and Halo 3 have to do with it. Halo 3 won't come out until PS3 is launched. I am thinking about owning one in early December.

If Microsoft chooses to add HD-DVD it could make the Xbox 360 a more competitive multimedia device from a marketing perspective. Since HD DVD would not be standard across all models of the Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 has the ability to support four Bluetooth controllers. The controller for the It is an improved version of the Type-S controller packaged with Xbox. MS says the controller works 25 hrs w/o being recharged.

Point of View of Playstation Portable

Without a touch screen it can't exceed to popularity of Dual Screen. The JPEG viewer, MP3 decoder shouldn't be in the conclusion why biased PSP owners say PSP is better. The bad battery life is shooting Sony in the foot. The UMD drive is sucking up tons of battery although that doesn't have to do with functionality and playability.

PSP is doing much better than Wonderspan Color, Game Gear, Game.com, Gizmondo, Neo Geo Pocket put together so I give it 3 cheers. Bo-Yah. PSP is the biggest Nintendo handheld competitor ever on the market.

Sony has stated that the PSP will be able to connect to the forthcoming PlayStation 3 for transfer of game saves and media to and from the PS3's hard drive,

The system's manual states that the PSP is capable of 3 to 6 hours of game play.

You can read my PSP review. It’s well written.

Point of View of Nintendo Dual Screen

Trying hard to see why Dual Screen is cool! It does have well designed games. GFX aren't as good as PSP, but there are times any 3D will do. Of course 3D games have been on videogame consoles since Doom came out on Super Nintendo. Nintendo hasn't brought out many 3D games other than Super Mario 64 yet! Nintendo is coming out with Metroid Prime Hunters and Nintendogs is 3D.
