Just wanted to say thanks for the great video on powetTV. Very fun to watch your reaction! Seemed like you got a kick out of the game--that's the idea! We're working on our third game here: www.mommysbest.blogspot.com. It's called Grapple Buggy. And if you're still looking around on XBLIG, try our first game is Weapon of Choice. It's 5 bucks--more pricey--but was much more complicated to create than S1UP. Enjoy! Nathan Hi Zac,

The graphics are better and the Hard Drive storage on the new Xbox is far superior to the Wii. There is no need for controllers which meansless battery and recharging cost. If you have a young family like me , you don't have to worry about the kids misusing the controllers or dropping them in there juice. Kinect does have voice recognition so if the kids are getting out of order and reality wrestling rather than virtual wrestling you can just yell pause and Kinect will pause. Shamethis doesn't generally work with the kids, well not in my house anyway. There is no doubt your friends and family will have a lot of fun with this system and it is taking interactive gaming to a whole newlevel. I have to admit , Microsoft were lagging behind a bit recently in the games console world and it's about time they stepped up to the plate and with <a href="http://xboxkinectbundle.com/category/kinect/" rel="nofollow">Xbox Kinect</A>, they have done exactly that imho Whether it has bugs or little minor problems remains to be seen and as with all these things, the proof is in the ongoing sales rather than the initial sales onslaught of inquisitive techno-holics who buy any new gadget released.

When I first saw the topic I thought well yes games ARE art but after listening to the sides of the argument you laid out I now see that while artists may create the games and there are artful elements within gaming that games are NOT art but simply well made entertainment that contain elements of art.

]]> Comment on Halo 3 ODST review by Michael Stevens http://zacshipley.com/?p=362&cpage=1#comment-118 Michael Stevens Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:50:53 +0000 http://zacshipley.com/?p=362#comment-118 Yea, I like ODST it is fun. But, once you have beat it on normal legendary is so easy it's just the fact that it seems like or is that the covenants bullets have more damage. So you have to use more skill. I like ODST, because you finally get to be someone besides Master Cheif. You, finally get to play as an ODST. My favorite cutscenes is the drop, and when DARE slaps BUCK and says "thats for leaveing" and then she's kissed him and he says "what was that for?" and she says "for coming back". Ok, that was my point of view on HALO 3 ODST. My GAMERTAG: Michael414. Catch ya later. Yea, I like ODST it is fun.

She was only a year and had a cancerous tumor over her shoulder. The one left, she passed away in January with a tumor as well. I had put my first one through surgery bc of it's placement and there was a chance she could have survived. But my second girl, it wasn't possible so I had to make the same choice as you. I deeply miss them, they are funny creatures and very loving. =) I'm happy Dax was able to leave you with fond memories. I’m sorry. =( I can relate, I had two rats and one past 2 years ago.
