Is it time for a new Xbox?

Xbox 360 devs reaching the ‘upper end’ of the console’s graphic capability? – Engadget

Epic Games, developer of Gears of War and Unreal Tournament has expressed that they may already reaching the limit of the console.

If that’s the case, the Xbox 360 reached its end pretty quickly with both the Wii and PS3 still have a lot in them. The tranformation of the Xbox into your home entertainment device with the addition of Netflix rentals this fall could be a way to increase the value of the console. Already priced lower than the Wii, I think we could expect at least a preview of the their next next gen console by E3 next year.

Some games only work on certain consoles

Atlus: Who Wants Trauma Center On Other Platforms?

Kotaku posts the question whether or not Atlus’ Trauma Center franchise should be expanded to other consoles.

After having finished all the games with the exception of the first DS game where I’m stuck a little past half way, the Wii controllers and the DS stylus is the way to go. The way the game is controlled really gives that feeling that you’re a wannabe doctor trying to save fake lives.

Bottom line, I don’t see this game playable on any other console other than Nintendo’s.

Wii Fit Day 65 Test 6

Did some warm ups on the hula hoop and some balance games since that is a sticky part of my Wii Fit age.

The test was better than the last time. I wish there was a better way yo grab screen shots of my Wii Fit.

My Wii Fit age isn’t that bad at all.

Spent half an hour on the slopes of We Ski. I actually broke out a sweat just going through the slopes. The slalom courses will take a little more practice though. On to tomorrow!

Wii Fit Day 64

I can’t believe I was able to spend an hour on the Wii Fit today.
Warm up of 3 minutes playing balance games.
Did the full yoga and strength training.
Cool down with more balance games.

Notice that I added more balance games into my regimen since the last Wii Fit Test I took. The test is now measuring the accuracy of my balance and how well and fast I can control it.

I’ll take the test again tomorrow and see what happens.

Wii Fit Day 63

I’ve been busy and confused lately that I’ve been putting my days all wrong. The Wii Fit says that it’s already Day 63.

Spent 23 minutes doing aerobics. Did a warm up of basic hula hoop followed by an Island Lap run. Proceeded to do basic dance (I know it’s stupid but it’s the exercise that counts) before ending with the advanced hula-hoop 3 minutes. Did some balance games since the game thinks I need to practice control over my balance before calling it a day.

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to do yoga and strength exercises.

Wii Fit Day 60

Two months I’ve had the Wii Fit but I’ve only been on it for around 35 days. That’s a bad ratio. I’m still on the one training session per day. I don’t want to overdo myself just yet.

30 minutes of strength training with a few aerobic warm ups and cool downs. It’s no joke that the strength training is really hard. It requires a lot of mental discipline not to give up.

Tomorrow I’ll probably just do some running.

Been too busy

Missed posting Wii Fit Day 56 and Wii Fit Test 5 and Day 60.
Day 56 was mostly yoga since I was too stressed to do anything else and really needed to relax. Wii Fit Test 5 was disastrous. I’m too ashamed of the scores that I will not post screen shots of the results. Day 60 was also mostly yoga.

I may up my Wii Fit training by doing 30 minutes in the morning and in the evening. Strength and aerobics in the morning and yoga in the evening. That is of course if I wake up that early. Maybe it’s just all because of my lifestyle. I really need to change things.

Wii Fit Day 55

Did 30 minutes of aerobic exercises today. A variety of jogging, step boxing, dance and hula hoop. I’m getting the hang of the step boxing and did some slalom skiing and ski jumps to warm down.

That reminds me, I need to play a little more of my We Ski.

Wii Fit Day 54

Spent today doing yoga and strength training. Since it’s been a while I did the strength stuff, I dropped back to basic tier of the regimen. I did around 45 minutes total.

My Wii Balance board changed color in game. From the usual white, it turned to bronze after it had calculated I already spent 10 actual exercise hours on the board.

I wonder when the next achievement is?

Apparently it’s Wii Fit Day 53

According to my Wii balance board. I’ve had it for 53 days now. Today I went back on my Wii regimen and did aerobics.

I did the hula-hoop and no you will not see a video of me using the thing. It’s actually pretty challenging switching from a counter-clockwise rotation to a clockwise rotation.

Next up was the dance mode. I got bored with it after the basic round so I went to jog the whole island lap.

All in all I spent 29 minutes on the Wii. Tomorrow I will return to the regular yoga and strength training.
