Here are my beloved consoles. At present times, i only own Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3, Sony PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox and Microsoft Xbox 360. I will try to post the specs for each and every one, but i like to think that hardware performance is nothing without feeling, gameplay, music, story… Something that, for example, Final Fantasy series will always have. After all, why do we play on these little machines ? We do it to escape out of this world. We do it to relax, to have fun with friends (or enemies). We do it for the nice or scary moments inside the games, and not for the hardware under the hood. I think those that only think about the hardware power, poligons, pixel or vertex shaders, will soon forget about what a game should be.

To be continued…

Dupa cum era de asteptat, pt. Gears of War (Unreal 3 engine pt. Xbox 360) au inceput sa curga premiile. De data aceasta Video Game Home Entertainment Awards: Gears of War as “Game of the Year” , “Shooter/Military Game of the Year”, “Best Game Graphics of the Year”. Bravos ! L-am jucat, terminat, ramas impresionat. Practic este primul joc din a doua generatie pentru Xbox 360 care demonstreaza ce se poate face cu un engine bun. De data asta stacheta a fost ridicata sus, si bine. La categoria “handheld” Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy a fost “DS Game of the Year”, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories “PSP Game of the Year”. Pe Wii a castigat Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, pe PS3 clar Ressistance: Fall of Man, iar pe PC… hmm, de ce nu ma mira… WoW: The Burning Crusade. Una peste alta, un an bunicel as zice… Mai jos, un mic trailer din Gears of War.
