Ugh. *cringes with embarrasment* This definitely puts a new spin on gaming's giants.

1. Microsoft. Microsoft did just about everything right, from the level of coolness to the confident attitude. Also, their "Buy a Wii, too!" ads were genius. What better way to take down a mutual enemy (the PS3) than with the help of another enemy? It was brilliant.

2. Sony. Sony made themselves look like an ass in the end. They got WAY too complacent for their own good. It might have helped them to check gaming's history books. Just because your console wins the generation, doesn't mean your next console is guaranteed FTW. Making everyone seem like a servant was dumb, egotistical, and quite stupid in the long run. I do plan on buying a PS3, but Sony's blatant disregard for their consumers ("We want people work extra hours just so they can afford a PS3") puts me off.

3. Nintendo. Oh, Nintendo, Nintendo... Whatever shall we do with you? First they failed in the 90s with their dinosaur of a president's heated remark that "No Final Fantasy game will ever appear on a Nintendo console!!!" and then they do. In great numbers. Then, there was the family-friendly environment of the late 90s and early 00s. That was kinda stupid... I mean, I'm not glorifying peer pressure or anything, but if everyone else in the industry is allowing blood and guts and generally revelling in your inability to do so, that signifies that it's time for change. 2004 was promising, but again, Reggie's poor, misplaced zeal led them to where they are now... the console of choice for grandmas around the world. I'm tired of Nintendo and their lack of hardcore games. The PS2 had hundreds of good titles. The Xbox had hundreds of good titles. The Gamecube had about 75 good titles. The PS3 has about 15 good titles, but has lots more coming. The 360's every other game is critically acclaimed. But the Wii? We poor Wii owners have a grand total of 10 good games:

1. Zelda Twilight Princess
2. Mario Galaxy
3. Metroid Prime 3
4. Mario Kart
5. Okami
6. Resident Evil 4
7. Zack and Wiki
8. Smash Bros
9. Animal Crossing
10. No More Heroes

Great, Nintendo. Nice going. You find yourself with a grand total of 10 NEW GAMES-- and here we'll soon be going into Wii's 3rd year. How many good titles did Gamecube have in it's first 2 1/2 years? How many good titles did anyone have in their first 2 1/2 years? More than Wii, that's for sure. Nintendo needs to get their act back together.

But... It's doubtful they will. Casual games print money, dontcha know?

2 things:

1. Wii Music = Crap, fail.

2. Monkey balls lmao!!!!

You guys should do more, or like the others say, a weekly (or bimonthly) feature. Some suggestions:

Vampires (no explanation needed, save maybe for Brad Pitt's mullet in Interview with the Vampire...*shudder*)
Books (Spell books, stuff from Castlevania)
Guns (Anything in Halo/CoD4 VS real world)
Swords (Buster Sword VS medieval junk)
Science/Chemistry (creating mutants, etc)
Sex (Mass Effect's alien sex)
Water sports (Tidus's Blitzball vs Beachball)
Spies (James Bond/etc)

Just some ideas :)

Gears, Batman, and MegaMan are all really nice!

but... what about Castlevania? Or Pokemon? Or Metroid Prime? Or Master Chief? Or Soma Cruz? OR MARIO?!?!?!

lol, "and the winner is... Clou-! Wait, scratch that. Genesis!"

Cloud: "WTF?"
