The Blogboard Jungle

    Nothing has made me want to get a next gen console , now the current generation of consoles until today.  I like saving my money, I like that I have a huge selection of games to check out since I took a break from them to finish college quickly.  I like that the prices of the last generation are starting to get better for my pockets and because of that I was able to enjoy all 3 Uncharted games at my leisure. Nothing made me want a new console until I saw the trailer for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End , which shows the date of 2015 at its end.  The first 3 Uncharted games were probably my most enjoyable solo playing experience to date and knowing that a final chapter or new chapter is coming to one of the new generation consoles has made my decision to purchase one for me.   I'll be getting a PS4 in 2015, hopefully they'll make an Uncharted 4 Edition.

100 dollars less...after a price drop I'm sold.      I took a game theory class a few terms back and ever since I notice the moves these companies make in playing against one another, Nintendo was actually used as an example in one of the lectures.  It's only one hundred dollars less than the Xbox One but 100 bucks is 100 bucks and the more consoles that occupy peoples homes seems to determine the titles that get released on what consoles to some degree.  Xbox One seems to be the one not to go with with judging by negative views on social media because of all the restrictions they are putting on the console so far with used games and being on line.      Sony's doing the opposite (so it seems) for less money and may make people treat Sony like it's the good old PS2 days, when they were at their best.  They lost me at launch of the PS3 when it was $600 but it looks like they learned from their mistake.  I don't know ...

     I was away for a while on vacation but all the next gen console buzz seems to have died down due to the lack of info or interest.  I don't know but I read something earlier that made it seem like we're all waiting for The Electronic Entertainment Expo better known as E3 for more details to make a better informed decision on which way our hard earned money will go.     I've already decided on what I'm doing for next gen console stuff , but that has not removed my interest in the subject.  E3 is next week so we're sure to hear more on the subject but other than people raging on what may or may not be included I have not read anything new.  I have been waiting on my backer edition of The Game Stick so I can write a review on it to see if it has any chance of being a new alternative to console gaming and it's supposed to get to me before the end of the month according to the emails I keep getting so that'll be up as soon as I think I have d...

All of the sudden, Sony showed off their new controller..excuse me...made the PS4 announcement.  I guess Steve Jobs started this thing wher they show you a small electronic device and tell you how innovative it will be and people buy into that, not me though.  Sony ticked me off with the PS3 when it came out by charging rent level prices for it when it was released and I was a serious PS2 fan boy too. I got in on the current gen consoles late and I'll probably do the same for the next wave of new consoles. I have about 3 games to play and finsih on the PS3, and one I'm looking forward to ( God of War Ascension ) and, ....I just got my PS3!!!   My Xbox, which I have had for a while I love.  I use it for Netflix, I use it to play with my friends on line, I use it for all the popular sinlge player open world games.  I also have several games for that I need to tackle and finish, Red Dead Redemption , XCOM , L.A. Noire and Assassins Creed 3 .  I also ...
