The Wii U Debuts…at the Microsoft Conference?

As a Nintendo fan, I was quite shocked to see the Wii U shown off at today’s E3 Microsoft press conference. Oh wait, the tablet you connect to your console to alter your gaming experience wasn’t the Wii U? It was Microsoft’s Xbox SmartGlass? Oh, well, excuse me.

Before I launch into what might be a full-scale rant, I do want to clarify my background. I am, ultimately, a Nintendo fan. I’ve been very disgruntled with their treatment of their fans over the past few years, but that doesn’t change the fact that my hood is somewhere between Pallet Town and Yoshi’s Island.

I have some background in non-Nintendo gaming, including with the Xbox 360. And truth be told, I don’t inherently dislike other publishers because I’m a Nintendo fan. In fact, over the past few years I’ve become really jealous over the gaming experiences Microsoft and Sony have given their fans.

That being said, I was kinda perturbed when I realized how similar SmartGlass was to the Wii U, especially considering they will likely be released around the same time. Follow me after the break.

Having just finished another arduous school year, I managed to claw my way back home and find respite back with my video games. My most recent challenge? Batman: Arkham City. Let’s not focus on how late I am to the party.

So, after sinking a proper amount of my teeth into this batty buffet, I began to hone in on an important facet of the game. No, not the gameplay, not the graphics, not the replayability.

The fashion.

So here’s Jon’s Best and Worst Dressed List of Batman: Arkham City!

She uses pheromones to seduce men. Only pheromones. …really.

Is Kingdom Hearts one of your all-time favorite games?  I know that it is absolutely one of my favorites.  Addicting game play, an awesome story, and having the ability to fight alongside your childhood movie characters are all combined into this epic game.  With the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance soon to release (July 31st, 2012), Kingdom Hearts has been quite the buzz.  However, with so many side stories, the series has probably left many of you lost and not knowing what the heck is going on.  I am going to give the breakdown of each game and where it fits in the story.
