Man, I must fail at life. The only submissions of mine that are being accepted are adding games to lists. None of my writing has been accepted, which as a journalist major, kinda makes me sad.
"Nintendo reached it's last straw at E3. Well, It really didn't for me (I hated them before that). But for a lot of people it had. I never had much hope for Nintendo to get it's acts together since I got the Xbox360 back in February. Since then I now know what it means to play truely hardcore titles. But not only are they packed with story, action, depth, amazing graphics and mechanics. (GTA IV, Gears of War, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Orange Box, all of which are not on Wii.) But all of the titles on Xbox360 also have something called effort pack right in the box. Not that I am saying Nintendo doesn't put effort in there're gam-, oh, wait, they don't anymore, do they? Well, Once every four years, they put there focus away from money (Zelda, Metroid, Mario....and other 20 year old sequels) but that is once every four years, three if you are lucky. What I am saying is, Microsoft's system gets games every month (not every year) that have a good story, action, depth, amazing graphics and mechanics, with also a bonus, playability, and even replayability. The designs are thought out and are not simplified. Nintendo simplifies everything so they can get a wider audience, thus brings in much more money. But apparently Microsoft doesn't think like I do, because now they are trying to copy off of Nintendo, by SIMPLIFYING the dashboard, and getting the addition of Avatars (cough..Miis) I want Nintendo to stop trying to make everything for the casual gamers, and start cracking out different ideas, not sequels. Microsoft also better not begin down the Wii trajectory, because America has gotten milked of all it's money and attention from the mainstream. "
NOTE: This is my HS alumni, Plano East Senior High School. This occured in 1994. The game won an ESPY for biggest showstopper. I was 5 at the time, and one of my earliest sports memories.
