Intro, E3, and My DSi

I don't know how long this will last, but I'm going try to reboot this P.O.S. into some sort of game journal with occasional distractions (like my token summer movie musings and such).

Anyone that's a fan of more abstract weird shit, go to the Venkman Suite, which is my community blog with my now fiancee and our two best friends. Its not updated often, but whatever.

If you like reading even more abstract shit, read my fiancee's blog about...well, just read it.

I went to E3 last week. Words can't really describe how insanely awesome and tiring it was. All I'll do for now is link you to Nintendo World Report's coverage of it, which is insanely robust. I will be contributing to a post-E3 feature soon, so I'll keep you posted on that.

I've been loving the crap out of my DS lately as I picked up Nintendo's The Legendary Starfy on Sunday and downloaded WayForward's Mighty Flip Champs and Nintendo's Mario vs. DK: Minis March Again. All of them are pretty fantastic. I'm getting near the point where I can write up reviews on MFC and Mario vs. DK, so look for that on NWR soon (I'll try to throw up a link).

I'm really liking Starfy though. It reminds me of an underwater Kirby with better level design. It's pretty simple, but it's got this undeniable charm and surprisingly good sense of humor. It's been kind of a cakewalk, but it's been a wonderful contrast to the difficulty of Mighty Flip Champs. I can't wait to see what other powers Starfy will get and see what other bosses there will be. The bosses are easy, but I love how they terrorize not just one level, but an entire world.

My DS will continue to get love as I await the arrival of Atari's Ghostbusters DS for review.

Although that pesky lil Wii will be getting some love as well thanks to the coming storm of The Munchables, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (hopefully), Let's Tap, Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, and maybe Indiana Jones Wii.
