The Sunday Funnies

I took the weekend off from reviewing because I was still recouperating from Mohegan, and I had to get my new PC up and running, and I had real work to do for the real job. Instead I watched would could be described as an ass kicking by the Patriots and played some Heavenly Sword for the PS3. I loved BB's quote after the game about putting Brady in. Sweep the Leg..yes Sensei!!

I have to say I'm rather surprised by the low scores this game is getting (probably becuase it's a button masher) but I'm having fun with it. They did incorporate the SIXAXIS controls in a great way.

I thought I'd see Victorious Boxers for the Wii by now but it didn't show up this weekend. Instead I played some Wii Table Tennis which I have to say isn't as good as I expected. Yes it's fun, but it's silly to see such tips as "move back from the table to get a better shot" when you can't move back from the table in Wiimote only mode. I was really expecting better. Oh well -- that's not to say it's a fun game -- with the nunchuck it's similar to the 360, but without online play and your hand can get quite sore while playing, it's a bit of a disappointment.

I believe there are only 3,456 games coming out for the DS this week. Isn't it funny that the same week that it's Bill's daughter's birthday and Bill gets her a DS as a present that Hannah Montana Music Jam is released -- the game Bill said was one of the best of E3? Bill, just buy your own damn DS and admit it. Guitar Jam and Flash Focus are fun. No way I'd play Madden on it though. Bleck -- there's a reason they don't make cartridge based consoles anymore.

Getting back to sports, as I mention in my recent TWID article, I love SpeedBall 2. Anyone interested in playing online?
