Again, E3 is coming around again. Again, it will be spectacular. Again, the hype is already surrounding it, what with information and rumour planted everywhere. So here is what I would like and my views on what has been said to be unveiled.

Successor of the Wii.
-Nintendo have already had news that this will be unveiled at this years' E3. You already know lots of rumours and technical specifications. But I don't think these are right. You should know that I want a second edition of the Gameecube, with HD and backwards compatability with the Gamecube and Wii. Just follow this from the Official Nintendo Magazine forum to get everyone's ideas from it. My username is exactly the same as this forum, CDS.

Star Wars Battlefront 3
-Rumour has been surrounding this since Star Wars Battlefront 2's release in 2005.Now rumour has it Crytek UK is developing it after taking over Free Radical Design, and h

When the news was officially confirmed yesterday, I was really excited about this latest news. Finally, I thought, but just let it be another Gamecube. Let Nintendo give it that second chance it needs. Now forget whatever leaked information is out there, this is my expectations and I'm sure any Gamecube fans still out there will support me on this.

Called the Nintendo Cube+, this new console is twice as large as the original Gamecube. And it should be as well, as it contains the all of the Wii's CPU systems and its own. The controller stays the same as the Gamecube's original, but all the console and controllers are in sleek, triple red shades [three shades of red]. Games also support the Wii remote and Nunchuk. Better graphics means better games. But the original Gamecube isn't left out, as the Cube+ has the ability to playback Gamecube titles as well.

Coming included with this console is

As soon as the 3DS came out the box, I was impressed. Sleek and stylish, I opened it up and turned it on. Part of the set-up procedure requires you to see the 3D in proper to set your preference. Impressed again. Then I started on the Mii Maker. More options there are this time around and more things to do. Once I had two Mii’s up and running, I headed for the AR games. After spending quite a long time on there, I then picked up Super Monkey Ball 3D and started to play. After a bit, the battery was low. Turns out it was only a quarter charged when I picked it up from Toys R Us, but I had still managed to get roughly 2 hours of play. A few guides here to maximise play and also the stuff to do.

Maximise Battery Power.
First off, I would like to say about this is to switch the 3D effect off when on menus, or when the 3D effect isn’t really needed [like on Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars].

I have a very strong point on this.
Everyone has their own opinion about everything.

Now on to the main topic, the so called 'Console Wars'.
There isn't really one. This, as anything, is just speculation. Each console may be different, and each person may have their own console preference, but trying to figure out which one is best was obviously going to create arguments.

The PS3 for example, allows for blue-ray disk input, but the Wii, on the other hand doesn't have much of the realistic graphics the PS3 does. But that doesn't mean to say that the PS3 is the better console. In actual fact, there is no way to determine which is the better console. Where one fails at something, another fails at something else, but both could have the strong points that the other one fails at.

Giving an opinion is just that. Giving an opinion. If someone else doesn't like that opinion, there is nothing you can

Now I've been reading a lot lately about this game and, having played and completed the Wii version myself, I can't see what people are complaining about. [This blog is from the Wii version's point of veiw]
This game is good. So what if the storylines short. When has a Star Wars game got to have a storyline to be any fun. Just look at Star Wars Battlefront. So some things I like about Force Unleashed 2 are:-

1] Force Powers
There may not be Force Choke, but there are some good force powers here. Also Force Repulse has been fixed.

2]Combat
All Star Wars games need combat. Good combat. The Battlefront titles have got it, and so does this game I find. Force powers are well executed and lightsaber combat is also good.

3]Multiplayer
Even though I haven't played this much, I still think this is a winner as it is well executed.

4]Graphics
Now I know the PS3/PC/Xbox 360 versions are realistic but the Wii
