WII-nner is Revealed!

Howdy all! Here's the follow up to my ultimate console post. I have to make this quick because work is actually busy on New Year's Eve, go figure.

My personal favorite for consoles from my previous post is the Nintendo Wii. This console has everything that I love. Great new games, fun controls, great muliplayer, online functionality and backwards compatibility.

While the Wii is king, I have to say the console I use the most is my Nintendo DS. As I've gotten older this little hand held might as well be a friend on the train. It does a great job of allowing me to take a break from work, and also has nice web surfing and home brew applications which keep things interesting. Plus the touch screen controls is a great new twist on gaming for me.

An honorable mention should go to the PS3. It has all the same features as the Wii, but better graphics and online play. It also has the built in blu-ray, which was a main draw for buying it in the first place (for me). While the price was high, it has come down. This is a great choice for those who want 1080p graphics.

The stinker on this list is the xbox 360. Not only does Microsoft feel the need to charge you to play online they also can't make a console that works. I just got mine back from repair (RRoD) and I got a cute form letter and a whopping 1 month's free subscription to xbox live. That'll make up for the 5 weeks and poor customer service it took for me to have my console back. Bravo.

Well, as promised this is my last post of 2009. I hope you've all enjoyed our inaugural year. Please keep checking us out in 2010. The more readers we get the more reviews we'll be able to put up, and all the opinions and gaming stories will continue. Happy New Year!
