The Playstation 3
Umm, another drum roll please? Sony usually doesn't have the best release parties. It just can't keep up with Nintendo's classic magic and Microsoft's flashy MTV release party. I honestly think that everyone who went to the PS3 release party was utterly impressed with Sony's super system. Since these games were recorded demos, there is no proof that the system will look this good when it plays, but there was some more kick ass games to be shown there. Some of the demos include a Gran Turismo clip, a Spider Man 2 clip with realistic graphics, realistic! I mean that literally, it looked real. Others include Devil May Cry 4, Fight Night Round 3, and teaser for Final Fantasy VII! Is it coming to a console near you? Click Here to take a look.

The PSP and DS Releases
What kind of person are you? The kind of gamer that sticks with Nintendo and likes having more then one thing to look at? Or are you the kind of person who likes multi-media and having some graphically impressive console games for a handheld, which aren’t quite console games. In this corner, the heavy weight champion the Nintendo DS! Weighing in with Animal Crossing DS, Mario and Luigi 2, Metroid Pinball DS, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Mario Kart DS, Nintendogs, and a bunch more games with a DS on them. And the challenging, the Sony PSP! Weighing in with Grand Theft Auto, SOCOM, Metal Gear Acid 2, Daxter, Mortal Combat Deception, Burnout Legends, a Final Fantasy VII movie, and a bunch more ports. Does the DS-ing make it better, or are ports the way to go? Click Here for the DS line up, and Click Here for the PSP line up.

Halo 2: Multiplayer Map Pack
For the poor souls who have been robbed of the Xbox Live experience, Bungie has decided to be nice and release them in a store near you for a nominal fee: $20. This includes 9 maps, the grenade and melee damage upgrades, and some commentary on making the maps. Is it honestly worth the $20? Some of these maps and upgrades come free on Xbox Live, and the Map Pack is missing Foundation, the level originally designed to be unlocked after someone beat the single player campaign, now given to those online who have beat the single player campaign. Is it a waste of $20 or a miracle for those without Live, Click Here to judge for yourself.

The Game Boy Micro
Me no like PSP multi-media, Nintendo smash! Well it'll look like Nintendo's new Micro was smashed after you take a look at it. It’s about the size of an iPod mini. Holly shit that's small! How do you play a game on a tiny ass screen like that? Well first of you have eyes, and you use them to look at things. No but seriously, is the tiny screen gonna be a hassle, or will its new multi-media features be enough to try to crush the PSP even more. I don't know, wait no, yes I do.
