First off, I’m not going to do a full write up of Sony’s conference because, quite frankly, it was boring. The only thing there that I liked was Portal 2, and that’ll be on PC anyway.
Microsoft, with the Kinect, is at least trying to bring something new to motion control. The Wii and Kinect each have their own separate Pros and Cons, but Sony’s Move looks like it’s trying to hard to copy and 1-up the Wii.

Now for Nintendo: Holy crap! Nintendo wins E3 2010!

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
We all knew it was coming, Zelda with Wii Motion Plus control. I am a little disappointed that I can’t play with a control pad anymore. I didn’t like Twilight Princess on the Wii because I could never get the sword to swing the correct way and ended up reverting back to the Gamecube version. If what I’ve experienced with the swordplay games in Wii Sports Resort is any indication, then this new Zelda will have that problem fixed with it’s 1:1-ish sword swinging. The new art style looks perfect to me. It sits somewhere in between Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. I would compare it more to Super Mario Galaxy, cartoon candy but still beautiful.

It’s that time of year again. Time for me to rant about games even though almost no one is going to read it.

Last year I ranted about games I didn’t really care for, so this time I’ll focus on what I’m looking forward too.

I finally got around to porting the Biodraft skin to CycloDS Evo, as requested by .::5pYd3r::..

  Biodraft for CycloDS Evo (240.3 KiB, 468 hits)

I’m finding that I don’t like skinning on Cyclo as much as R4 though. Having active/inactive icons is nice, but the color config (xml) needs more options and you’re always stuck with the same background for every menu screen. For example, I’d like to be able to make a lighter/darker background just for the game list so that the text on unselected items is more readable. And it’d be nice if you could specify text color of selected/unselected items in the config menu, rather than having the same color for both.

I’m fucking sick of having to wait hours for NDSthemes to approve my themes when all I’ve done is made a small change to the color. So I’ve decided to stop relying on them and go back to using my own site to host them.
