Okay, I will admit that I have been in a sort of writing frenzy as of late and I suppose this makes up for the times I haven't wrote anything for any stretch of time (has that even happened...?). But I have things to say! Or write! You get the idea!
And this blog has been absolutely my outlet for venting, ranting and raving about anything and everything. It is soothing to a degree, just blabbering about whatever pops into my head. It helps sort out the personal junk and it lets me know (later) how stupid and foolish I was at whatever particular time. Okay, so maybe not everything I write is meant to show my idiocy, but moving along...
Ya know what does NOT have me convinced? These new motion control gimmicks that Sony and Microsoft is setting up to toss out later this year.
I'll give 'em credit that their games look a whole lot better then anything on the Wii, but come on. If Sony and Microsoft plan to release similar titles as the Wii has, I think I am about to quit gaming. I mean have you seen the kind of crap that got out there? Now I am not saying that everything on the Wii is trash (Arc Rise Fantasia looks interesting), but for every good game there seems to be a truck loaded up with crap.
And as it stands (for me), I see the small line up that both sides have amassed and I can't say I'm even remotely impressed by any of it. Surely not nearly enough to make me willing to spend $150+ on these new gimmicks. I also have to wonder what the focus of these things are? Casual gamers also? If so, it'll be a long while before I even consider grabbing any of these.
Seriously, if I wanted any of those kinds of games, I'll just go back to the Wii. And that thing is still sitting on my shelf, collecting dust...

If it wasn't for the fact that I'm a dance game and exercise game FIEND, I would be totally uninterested in all this motion control crap. I love dancing games. I love dancing. I did ballet, tap, and jazz from about age 5 or 6 until I left high school. I still take dance classes once in awhile for fun. I just love to move.
I also have a difficult time sticking to an exercise program. Video games are actually capable of tricking me into being consistent, believe it or not.
The Kinect is clearly being targeted at families, not gamers. They're setting up demo kiosks in MACY'S on the mainland. Not Lamestop or BestBuy, but MACY'S.
The Move, on the other hand, looks like it's more for gamers, based on all the reviews I've read and video I've seen.
Personally, I will buy them both. I always buy everything. The video game industry really should love me. :-)
