 Just watching the events of Tokyo Game Show play out . All I can say is this thing has fallen from grace. What once was the largest video game show on the planet has almost died. Seems like companies use E3 to make most of their big announcements and then use gamescom and tgs to support those. Oh well, it probably speaks to the state of gaming and japan and those developers seem to be kinda thin on ideas. With Nintendo being an exception, I think Sony falls into this category as well. Isolate yourselves, fail to pay attention, and get passed up by the rest of the world.

 Tonight at about 9:30 est the Tokyo Game show kicks off. It works much like the Game Developers Conference where only one of the platform holders gets a keynote speech. This year its Sony. I expect some big things , I just want GT already! I have a feeling that the ferrari videos from yesterday were touched up in both the forza and GT engines. However, I have doubted Polyphony before and they have blew me away. I can't stop looking at the tail light from that video..........

I really dig the lore of the Halo universe. I don't however, dig the games. They are all top of the line games but after getting burned with the ending of Halo 2 I was done. I keep seeing people base their opinions of the new Halo 3 spin off ODST on content vs price point. I was thinking whats the big deal, if a downloadable only game can get high scores and be short why can't this. I know shadow complex got rave reviews and is supposed to be shorter than the campaign in ODST. I think the one kinda weird point to the price of this game has to be that multiplayer disc that comes with it.

Well I finally got Need For Speed Shift yesterday. This has to be the most visceral driving game since burnout. I think burnout kinda falls into a just have fun in a sandbox type of game now though. Its nice to have this type of experience in a semi sim racer. There are 5 different tiers of racing and currently im level 13 in tier 3. I have started to unlock races in tier 4 but I cannot access them yet. A couple of my impressions so far....

 Ya know I wonder.......What if Taylor Swift was a black girl? Would that moron jump up on stage and try to shift the glory to a white girl? I think not. Lets reverse this. What if Kayne West was white? He would be labled a racist before he even got kicked off the stage. Why is it in our society that its ok for a black person to step all over and insult a white person and its considered being out of line? Yet if a white person demeans a black person in any way ,even if it has merit and is justifiable; they are labled a racist.
