1UP has MGS, all week long.

I know it's been two days, but better late than never.

1Up has a great line-up this week for MGS fans as they delve into everything Metal Gear related... well almost. They started off Monday with a rundown of Metal Gear Ac!d 2 with director Shinta Nojiri. The interview includes tons of great info about Ac!d2: improvements, additions, pics of half naked girls getting soaked with water and... sorry, just making sure you're listening, but, ya they talk about some of that too. Aside from that, they talk about how they want Ac!d to grow into its own mini, handheld franchise, different than that of the console versions.

Tuesday, 1UP covered Metal Gear Solid: Subsistence, with all the ins, outs, in betweens... ins, you know, everything. They highly praised its online features, Metal Gear Online(MGO). Kojima Productions added some MGS refinements to well known online games such as "Capture the Frog", where players search the map for the green frog and return to their base to score a point.

Wednesday, that's today, they'll be breaking out thee ol' ham factory. ??? They're going to bring us all up to date on everything that Hideo Kojima has ever done, ever!

Thrusday, I have an exam in the morning, but aside from that, it's all MGS4, all that time, well at least for that day, then maybe nothing for a couple days, who know? The trailers, the characters, the details, the non-details, and maybe more. And then Friday, well that's the big day, the day when the man himself, Kojima talks about a whole buncha stuff, like the 360, Raiden, Rumble Roses, and working with Team NINJA's Itagaki. And then, a special MGS edition of the 1UP show. I've never seen the 1UP show. Have you seen the 1UP show?

So ya, make sure to tune in to 1UP everyday to catch what's new.

Ya it's been a while, now shut up and listen!

First of all, Microsoft has some of the best marketing ever. I wasn't a big fan of the original XBOX but appreciated its gaming and online community. I haven't bought a 360 and don't plan to for atleast another 6 months. I probably won't ever buy one and that's ok with me. Watching all the cool stuff that Japan is getting is making me jealous. Fully colored systems, an awesome XBOX 360 Lounge ; I want to live there. Nizar is very impressed with Microsoft and their marketing/advertising.

There are many Japanese gamers who won't be getting a 360 because they're either not impressed, or just want to stick with the "Japanese system only" bandwagon. Let me tell you, if I lived in Japan, I'd so be getting a 360 just because no one else would be. But fortunatly, there have been goobles of pictures of lines forming to buy the 360 at launch. I'm kind of just babbling on now so I'll stop.

Wait, hold on, I'm not done. I don't really like their line-up though. I mean ya, there's some good games like Call of Duty2 and Need for Speed, even DoA is nice, but I would have to wait until there was a solid game shelf to choose from.

Oh ya, we're really sorry for not updating in so long. Like Amy said, we've bought a Gamecube and we both have been playing Animal Crossing: Wild World. Animal Crossing is a great game by the way. And plus, Amy's grandma broke her ankle and she's been at her place all the time. But, be sad not, once exams are finished, we'll be back at it again. I also want to talk a little about the PS3 and MGS4, but I have to go, so I'll do that next time.
