A New Turn

First of all a big thank you for those who have even checked my blog out. I sometimes get people randomly tell me about it. To be honest I didn't even expect thatto happen even once. So a huge thank you to you guys who have read (or perhaps keep reading) this space. As the few reading. Tell me if there is anything that you want me to comment on and I will do it. Whether it's advice on game recommendations or even random questions like: "Who would win in a fight? Solid Snake or Bruce Lee?" Of course I would pick Bruce every time but I digress.

Since my funding has gone to nothing (well it was nothing before so we'll consider it less than nothing!) I've decided to change tack. I shall not report the latest news stories as you can find them everywhere before you'd even get here. Instead I shall comment on them or what I reckon to them. Or if I'm very lucky. I'll report something that only I know about.

Also I am not going to do up to date previews or reviews as my timetable regularly shifts, making this very difficult. So I have vowed not to promise things I can't do. This means that the previews of Heavy Rain and new games are out of the way. Things like this also take up a lot of space too. I need to refine my writing before I can type reviews that do a game justice without taking a decade to read. So starting today I am going to give a small snippet of my thoughts on gaming at the minute. They could be random, funny or informative but they will only be a few lines:

So starting today. Here's what's been on my mind:

- Motion control is not the way foward. Not only is the technology not developed enough but I think the whole approach is merely creativity for creativity's sake. It will be this decades "Virtual Reality" (I'll gladly admit I was wrong if it doesn't turn out that way)
- Special Editions are slowly becoming less and less special (Bioshock 2 being one the exceptions to this)
- I want more news on Sadness for the Wii and Shenmue 3!

After that I can now tell you what I plan to do over the next few weeks:

- Make what I call "Starter Kits". These are guides for people looking to buy a console they have little knowledge of. For these I will focus on a particular console and run off one game for each genre that I think will get players started for it. They may not be the best or most well known. But they are the ones that will introduce them to a certain platform. I'm currently writing one for the Dreamcast, Playstation 1 and today's current platforms. Expect these in the following weeks.

- Reviews on whatever the hell I want. These will be completely random picked by me. They might be bad games, good games or just damn right weird.

- A feature on pokemon. A look at the remakes of Pokemon Gold and Silver and the future of the series. But this will have something that I can add that few else can. I have a vague inside scoop from someone working for pokemon (you think I may be kidding but just wait and see!)

So thank you for reading again. I will try and give weekly updates but I might add in a few little notes here and there.

Keep gaming guys and leave comments upon anything related to gaming.
