This is just a typical "tell us what you think of the platforms you own" type of thing. This is suppose to be for only current gen platforms (360, PC, PS3, Wii, PSP and DS).

Well here is what I think.

PC = It's the PC, what else is there to say?

Future: It's the PC what else is there to say?

Bottomline - "It's the PC...what else is there to say?"

Wii = Very mixed thoughts on this system. On one hand it has a great line-up, the virtual console, and the control makes everything feel fresh and new. On the other there are few non-Nintendo intriguing games, lame channels as well as some that don't get used to their full potential, and some games that are just a total barf with the controller, please don't even get me started about the online. Yes Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and No More Heroes are fun to play, but I can't help but think that my choices are a bit limited here. Not to mention that there are many holes left in the systems line-up. Don't get me wrong the system is fun to play but there are many flaws with in it.

Future: Over the past month we've seen many titles come about. Tenchu IV, Megaman 9, Spyborgs, Rune Factory Wii, Arc Rising Fantasia, and Castlevania Judgement. They may not be the biggest titles out there but most of them actually look of quality. These are just mere trickles of the upcoming event season and I can't wait to see what more is in store for the system if this is anything to go by.

Bottomline - It gets the job done and it does entertain me. But in order from to get to "alright" to "good" there are many things to be fixed. Third parties really have to pick it up a notch, there are far too many holes in its line-up (Shooters? RPG's? This list goes on), not to mention things like online and storage space really need to be given attention.

So I guess I'll go with "Contains some strengths but they are easily cancelled by the faults, overall the feelings are so mixed it ends up on average."

The DS = As a handheld it pushed beyond what was thought possible, as a system compared to consoles it more then gets the job done. Tons of great games, variety, and enjoyment lead this system to have the potential to be one of the best. But it is a little too early to give the system the title of "SNES 2." The main problem I have with the system is that almost all of the games still reek of "handheld game". I think I don't need to explain this as I'm sure that all of you are aware of what I mean by that. Sure I've played some games that had enough production values as a console game (Apollo Justice, The World Ends With You, Mario Kart DS, Etc.) but they are very rare to come across. The other problem I have with the system is that it just is a tad not powerful enough. Yes the games that the developers don't require much power but I can't help but feel that some of these games just need a little bit more oomph to get to their true forms. Personally I think the power of the early Dreamcast is more then enough. Just enough to give the developers wings to soar a tad bit more and update the resolution to make the 3D textures clear and the 2D sprites far more detailed.

The Future: It seems like every day something is announced for this system that catches my eye. I couldn't hope for a brighter.

Bottomline - As I've said before I only have two problems. Though the first is slowly happening in Japan it will never happen in the West for obvious reasons. As for the 2nd well I think the only way to answer that is with the DS 2 which probably won't come out until another 8 years or so.

So I'll leave it with "A phenomenal system, but contains some flaws that just can't be fixed".
