Huh? What?

All the prizes are in the mail, so I'm in a good mood. I'd be in a better mood if I was able to get more game time in. Soon. I'm going to make myself take some game time.

I love pointing to articles that I don't agree with. Here are the alleged Five Ways to Save Video Games. We start out ok. Female characters should be about more than sex, and there are many weak storylines in gaming. Then they run out of steam. Epics, Spectacles and Cinema influence can all be great parts of games. It's just they need the writing to match, but that's point two. Now that I think about it female characterization is a writing problem too. I guess it should have been the way to save video games: better writing. That probably doesn't fill up the page and generate the clicks.

Did I mention the first winning story is up? Check out the Games section. Ok, link for the lazy.

I don't understand Microsoft. They were doing so well at the beginning of the year. Now they're saying that the simultaneous worldwide release just means within the "launch window." What? They feed us a line, and then treat us like we're stupid for believing them. I told them before, just focus on the games. Oh, and stop with the bundles.

Hopefully, we'll be getting some good news out of the Tokyo Game Show soon. It should be interesting to see the Xbox 360 reaction.
