Giant bomb finally launched. and boy, what a launch! We can already feel a strong community building and the site has barely just begun. Well I'm here to stay I guess!

It's my first blog, so I think I'll use it to ramble about everything I can find, much like anyone else would do ;)

And first on my list: The fall update for the 360.
I saw the trailers and have to ask: why would they do such a thing? Are they thinking that by adding avatars there will be some so-called "casual gamers" who will switch thinking "hey, this seems like my Wii, but way cooler!!"? Isn't the primary effect of competition is driving you to innovate? Nobody will gain any benefit from that update, and as such it seems pretty pointless. The more the console will look like a Wii, the less people will care. They already have a Wii.

- Ghil out.
