I don’t talk about gaming much, but I want to go over the best game you’ll play all year. Better than Red Dead Redemption, 
better than God of War 3 (it pains me to say that) and better than Starcraft 2. How is it possible that this seemingly unknown game is actually better than every single game out there? Well for starters, it does something that most games just don’t do anymore, tell stories. Alan Wake has by far the best story of any game in the past few years and you’ll instantly see why when you play it. Now I know what you’re thinking, how can this game be any better than Red Dead Redemption? I don’t know about you, but Red Dead bored me to tears after awhile. Maybe it’s the open worldness of it, or just the blah gameplay, but I quickly sold the game back to Gamestop and found myself quickly playing Alan Wake and never looked back.

So I wrote this post about two years ago, but since I couldn
‘t import my old database, I’m just going to copy and paste it here. Since this was written two years ago, plenty of things have changed. I still feel strongly against piracy, but I’ve also edited out quite a bit of swearing I had in my old post. Please note that there might be a good amount of negativity, but I tried to tone it down a bit, so I do apologize for that. A lot of this post still matters, so I’m going to paste it below:

Back in 2006 Nintendo came out with their newest console, the Wii. With it, brought motion gaming 
with it’s Wiimote. Essentially what it is, is a remote control that can track your movement via IR. People loved it, and made the Wii the best selling console of this generation. Having used the Wii and hated it, I really hated having to flail my arm around like a jack ass, just to play a game. 4 years later, both Microsoft and Sony have their own answers to the Wii, the Microsoft Connect and the Sony Move. Microsoft’s technically is not innovative, in which you don’t actually have to hold a controller or anything; but it also lacks buttons and is incredibly annoying to press buttons with your hand. The Sony Move is quite similar to the Wiimote, being that it’s a remote-like controller you hold in your hand and does 1:1 tracking with your movement. The Move does offer quite a lot over the Wiimote and is actually built with core gamers in mind, unlike the Wii’s casual gamers. While I’m not excited about any of these, there are some redeeming qualities about motion gaming, but I honestly hope that it doesn’t last long.

The iPhone 4 has been released for the past 3 weeks now, and it has received much fanfare. While it is by far one of the best smartphones out there, it does have a few
problems that people already know about…the antenna. While I’ll get to the antenna issue a little later, it’s been such a major issue that pretty much everyone has heard about it. But is this phone a significant upgrade from the 3GS? Or is it just another phone to make people buy it? As with most Apple products, it is one damn beautiful phone. As with everything, this phone isn’t for everyone and there are a number of factors that you should think of if you’re looking at buying this phone. But let’s get into the actual review here.

This review has been delayed quite a bit, as both work, and me playing with my iPad, has taken up my time. But is this new Apple tablet re
ally all it’s cracked up to be? I’m sure you’ve all read the reviews by the big guys, and even Engadget and Gizmodo’s review, but what about a regular guy, with no incentive to push out a review? While many people think that the iPad is nothing more than a glorified iPod/iPhone, are simply wrong. You’ve read my desire to buy one, now you get to read my amazingly real review.

I know I talk about a lot about cell phones on here, but cell phones are a huge part of our culture. 
Microsoft recently announced Windows Phone 7 series at Mobile World Congress in February. As some might know, Microsoft’s last endeavor with a mobile OS was Windows Mobile 6/6.5, which is an utter disaster, so everyone was excited about what Windows Mobile 7 would bring. After screenshots of WM7 leaked, I was pleasantly surprised; it looked fancy, looked to add better functionality, and just a better overall experience than WM6/6.5. Being a former WM user, I was excited to see what MS could do. Well, they decided to completely scrap what we knew as WM7 and make something that you see to the right here…I present you, Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Series. Ugh, even that name is horrible. I know Microsoft is trying to ride on the “success” of Windows 7, but Windows Phone 7 Series? Can’t we just drop the “Series” from it? Well the name isn’t the only thing that Microsoft failed at.

As many of you know, the Apple iPad is going to be released on April 3rd (my birthday) and I’m incredibly excited about it. The thing is incredibly thin, sexy, and just looks really nice. If the iPad meets the bar set by Apple, this is definitely going to be the best device they’ve created. Though things weren’t exactly all great for me and the iPad, I initially hated it! So what made me change my mind from hating the iPad to being really excited about it? Plenty of things to be honest. But first I’d like to go over the details as to why I hated the iPad from the get go.
