I am a controversial person.

Well seeing as I have not touched my gaming blog in months I decided to update it and hopefully get it going at the same speed as my normal blog.

Firstly I would like to say I have a Mac! There! It is terrible for gaming but I'm a console gamer, not some delusional purist. Also I don't use it for anything other than simple tasks online (i.e. Firefox) and drawing (Macs are good at photoshop).

Now let me tell you why I made those two bold statements shall I?
Firstly PC gaming is great and all but I prefer to keep my money and play console games which the industry works very hard on. It is the direction gaming is heading and I would like to be a part of this when it picks up.

Secondly the reason I prefer a mac over a PC is because I now finally have a computer that does what I want! I could have a PC function but I would have to learn to much. Lets just say apple understand simple interfaces for simple people. That is me! It's true I am a huge geek and I could learn these things if I tried but it is unnecessary as long as I don't care for anything more daring than Firefox.

While I am at it let me just say why I prefer PS3 over Xbox 360. I may as well! Both consoles are practically the same! All the big games come out on both and yeah the Xbox currently gets slightly better versions. But the way Microsoft treat the gaming industry is more or less another money making gimmick.
Microsoft started Xbox Live by charging people to use it. And then they pushed forward on DLC for consoles. While this seems like a good move people don't realise the difference between DLC and expansion packs. Before DLC on consoles you only paid for expansion packs. PC gamers used to have it good with mostly free DLC but since the big push by Microsoft to casual gamers we have all started paying.
This move was made in the form of Fallout 3. That was the big DLC game and Microsoft payed to get exclusive rights to it at first for at least a year. And they wanted to of course make money on it.

What makes Sony any better? Well they did make PSN free to use and they made a loss on manufacturing and selling PS3's at first anyway. They also support newer developers and to be honest I am quite intrigued by it's processing power. I really want to see if a game will ever utilise it fully. Also I have been a Playstation man my whole life and don't see a reason to change.

If I am honest the PS3 does not do badly at all in the UK. And it certainly kicks ass in Japan. I prefer these two places to America. I am sorry but America has some of the most poorly informed people in the world when it comes to things like industries and other countries. The big "casual gamer" faction of people in America don't realise that Microsoft would happily slow the industry's advancement if it made money on it whereas Sony and even Nintendo (both Japanese) try to push the boundaries. And really 90% of gaming revolutions have come from Japan. They are PASSIONATE about it!

On my last note I am making another bold statement. I would rather buy Darksiders over Bayonnetta. Why? Well even though Darksiders has flopped a little bit, the style of game is just so rare to see nowadays and I can't get enough of Zelda-type games. And since it is a good game that is fun I think I would enjoy it. I don't know why but it reminds me of Jak and Daxter. Another series I love. Even though Bayonetta is crazy and fun and very polished it doesn't hold the same nostalgia for the exploration Darksiders is promising.
