Like a Boss.

Time to kick this show off again. It keeps me busy and gives me some self satisfaction!

So i've missed alot of news recently but nothing that i missed really appealed to me. There are however only a few things that i feel need some nerd rage. Not so much nerd rage that i need to deface my desk but enough to make me cry inside.

My first dig is at the 3DS. It's already been out half a month, and although i have yet to play one and experience the 3D technology, i despise the concept! I know this kind of technology is wasted on a portable device purely because it would be so much more effective in the home. I mean i know i haven't done any research into this and i should have before ranting, but to me it makes sense. Why perfect something which can be used on the go instead of in the comfort of your own home? I just don't get it. The 3DTVs available already are fantastic despite having to wear the glasses. It would just be better if you didn't need them, and I'm sure almost every owner would agree with me. I'm not hating on Nintendo though, they came up with something pretty clever for such a popular console. And they are breaking barriers in gaming and technology in general. I'm probably just hinting that the 3DS is before it's time.

However, the NGP which was announced by Sony is definitely my most anticipated gadget. In comparison to the 3DS, it surpasses it at everything i want in a portable console. The only thing the 3DS has that the NGP doesn't for me is the 3D. The pure power of the NGP amazes me too. Almost PS3 quality on something just bigger than the original PSP with no cut back on additional features. In this sense i will always be a Sony fanboy. Makes you wonder what Microsoft would add to the portable arms race.

Finally, i want to comment on the upcoming Battlefield 3. This game just looks absolutely phenomenal, and has not competition on graphics. Not even with Crysis i think. The new Frostbite 2 engine is basically reality you can play. If you haven't seen a trailer yet you should. At some points you will find it hard to realise the game play is not real life. Unfortunately it just won't meet the same expectations as Call of Duty exceeds. It will be a great game but no one will play it. Just what i know will happen.

Until next time.
