Wii Hardware sales have doubled up since the price cuts in America giving it back to the lead they gain from last year while Sony sales have increased slightly and Microsoft suffer some loses.

TGS just pass and for does who don’t know it’s called Tokyo Game Show. So many games went up there and were talked about then demos were played. A quick summery on that will be released tomorrow. There will be some news on the Project Natal which will be very intresting and also a update on Final Fantasy XIII progress.

So, leaked box art has revealed a new black colored Wii. It looks awesome!  The black is fantastic compared to that innocent and clean white color. With black it looks like an awesome console,  ready to be played by his awesome owner. Hopefully we’ll see more color variants for the Wii in the future.  A question to the public: what color would you want for your Wii? Please comment below

Ok so its summer, that means that some killer new games are out or on there way to wii fans everywhere.  Here’s a list of some of the games that I think are a huge step for Wii.

*Grand Slam Tennis for Wii (Out Now!)- I’ve been looking forward to this game for months so when I got it in the post I was jumping out of my pants excited JK! lol. No really though,  this is hands down the best tennis game ever made.  This is because this game is supposed to be played with wii motion plus, which makes it feel like your actually holding a real racket!  It might be a little hard at first to get the hang of the controls, but once you do you won’t be able to put the wiimote/ or racket, down lol. CHECK OUT THE TRAILER!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvfbsFhUZbM

*The Conduit Wii (Out Now!)- So i’ll admit, sometimes I wish I had a 360 or Ps3 so i can get my hands on those crazy fun first person shooters (Gears of War 2, Killzone etc.) But with The Conduit I truly have fun with the wii again.  This is the best first person shooter out for the wii.  The muliplayer is also very addicting!  Okay I still want a 360 but whatever lol! CHECK OUT IGN TRAILER!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxOvbmCpPGE

*Metroid Prime Trilogy- Metroid Prime has always been a huge title for Nintendo.  The 1st and 2nd games in the trilogy were a hit on the Game Cube and the 3rd game (Metroid Prime Corruption) defined what the Wii was capable of.  But coming soon ..August 24 to be exact…all three of the games will be available on one disc for the Wii, and you guessed it, with wii motion controls!! Cool isn’t it? NO TRAILER SORRY :’(

*Wii Sports Resort- The first Wii Sports was , for like a week, one of the funnest games i’ve ever played.  And on July 26, 2009 Wii Sports Resort will be hitting the shelves.  Some of the mini games that will be on this thing are archery, table tennis, jet skiing, frisbee, and sword fighting.  What will make this game 5x better than the first is the wii motion plus attachment. CHECK OUT ON STAGE DEMO!! : D           http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgKoWac2TA4

*Super Mario Galaxy 2- Okay i know A LOT of people are excited with this game, but i wasn’t a huge fan of the first Super Mario Galaxy ..please don’t kill me.  I really tried liking it but it just gave me a huge headache lol.  The second installment looks much more fun becuase you get to ride around on Yoshi!  I have no clue what the release date for this one is ..again please don’t kill me, but I know it’s gonna be a huge seller for the Wii. Sorry no trailer!!

So these are the games i’ve really, REALLY been excited about and you all need to check em’ out.

Woot, I got NBA Street Homecourt for my birthday for my 360. I have to say it’s one of the best NBA streets game I ever play. Like if you want the serious rule or similar style to the real NBA it’s best to get 2K10 or NBA Live 10. If you feel like messing around or doing awesome Dunks then you want to grab a NBA street game. Everything if hilarious in how you can dunk and play. There are no rules you can push players to get the ball. Perform awesome tricks when you dribble the ball and jump high like dwight howard.  Shoots 3 pointers like kobe. Do a two man team like Shaq and Kobe. There a dunks where they do mad tricks in Mid-Air at the end you have your mouth wide open and saying that was freaken awesome. Trick your opponents or fake a shot attempt it’s all up to you. It’s a versatile game and if you get bored of dunks you can do a double dunks or triple. Gameplay is very simple and anyone that has hands can play like a pro. There is a story mode where you make a character and build up his reputation in the streets. If you just want to play a normal match like NBA Live there is a mode for that. Do Dunks contest where your man can show off there skill jumping over objects or Mid-Air Tricks. EA Big did a great job with the game. The graphic are amazing to 2009 they are up to standards to games like NBA Live 09. Amazing coming from a 2007 game. You can play multiplayer online and local. A great game to play by yourself and friends. Perform a Gamebreaker where your player performs impressive tricks and could help you get the lead if you were losing. A problem is that even it’s a NBA game it’s not NBA. This game breaks boundries of realism and some people like the standard rules for NBA Live. You can jump higher than Yao-Ming or Dwight Howard. Sadly the courts are relatively small and not large like NBA Live or 2K.  Teams are 3 vs 3 not 5vs 5 like 2K or NBA Live. Another problem is that in NBA Live or 2K as the matches split into quarters and are longer but NBA Homecourt has small matches.

What you’ll like:

• Incredible Tricks and dunks
• Is a versetile game
• Story Mode
• What you don’t like:
• Small courts
• no realism
• short Matches
• Verdict 9/10

It’s streets not stadium there is no need for refs. Just play for found like you play with friends basketball on streets or in your backyard.
If you have a 360 or PS3 and want to have some fun then play NBA streets Homecourt and laugh at the stupid stunts that your NBA player does.

Hey, sorry i haven’t been writing guys. There has been a lot of stuff going on at school like exams and Birthdays.

So E3 just passed and I’m going to recommend some games that look awesome to me. If there are any games I miss give me an email or comment

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is coming out 11/10/2009  we all played COD4 right? If you haven’t go to a store and rent it, because the campaign is pretty quick. We have seen how Infinity Ward do their magic so this game should rock you to the top.

Halo 3 ODST, I’m happy to see another Halo game. It’s been an all time favourite. It will come out in September. Can’t wait to play firefight and a beta for Halo reach will make it even more awesome.

Left 4 dead 2 is coming out 11/17/2009 it’s awesome to see melee weapons. It really does show you that a game dosen’t need a story to be great

Assassin’s Creed 2 coming out 11/17/2009 It looks very good, recommend you play it. It’s best to play the first one before you pick this one up, because the storys should be linked together.

I can’t say much about the Wii because I don’t do anything with mine and I wasn’t paying attention to the released games.

For the PS3 there is a new PSP coming out later later this year called the PSP GO but I don’t know when.

Some new Racing games were announced like, Forza Motorsport 3 and Need for Speed Shift they both look brilliant.

Last Notice, the new Splinter Cell, which looks very fun using stealth as a weapon. Release date: October

If you have anything to say please comment or send me an email and sorry for not mentioning new wii stuff or PS3 but I see Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and New Super Mario Bros for Wii look good.
