From a coffee shop...

Well, I know, it's been forever since I last posted on my gaming blogsite. Forgive me.

I had to take my car into the shop and got a lift from the dealer shuttle to this very nice coffee shop in Fort Wayne called the Firefly. I knew of it thanks to my Brother in-law. It is busy and packed full of people. Who knew anyone could survive the wrath of Starbucks. I tell ya though, if Starbucks had free internet, that's where I would have been! Damn Starbucks. Why does your coffee have to taste so good?

Back to the reason for this blog. Gaming. I haven't been updating this much and felt this was the perfect time to do so. I still am in love with my Wii. It is still a lot of fun and still play Wii Sports about every other day. Right now the game taking up the most/all of my time is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It is amazing. By far the best looking game I have played to date on the Wii and the controls are excellent and intuitive. Metroid is a must own for fans of the genre and fans of FPS type games.

Even more exciting than Metroid is the long waited arrival of the Guitar Hero franchise on a Nintendo platform! Hoo-ray. I have had my copy reserved at the local GameStop for a few months and have been paying it off gradually. I'm glad to say that when it comes out, I will not have to fork any money over. For the past year or two the only times I have been able to rock out have been at my Wife's cousins house and at Circuit City. I enjoy the game so much, I contemplated getting a PS2 just for this game. Well the wait is over. On October 28th, the game comes out for the Wii and will come with online capable battles and a leaderboard for all platforms. How sweet is that. Unifying the gaming world in a sense. Needless to say, I'm frothing at the mouth to get my hands on this game. The only downer so far is the lack of extra guitars in the GameStop computer. They still do not have a listing for one. Looks like I will be the only one rockin' out. No two player in my household just yet.

A quick comment on Halo 3 is also probably needed. Damn! I knew it would sell a ton but the numbers are amazing. Something like 3 million in the first week. Just crazy. As great as this was, I am even more impressed that the Wii was able to almost keep up in selling consoles in North America. I really believe that most Halo buyers all ready had a 360 in their living room. Now if only Bungie would release that killer looking version of HaloDS I saw...

I promise to update this on a more regular basis.
