Now that we have had some time to fully digest Microsoft and Sony’s “future of fun” motion controllers (Project Natal and Move, respectively) I thought it would be a good time to dissect them a little before we get a larger picture of them at E3.  As I stated in an earlier blog post, I am not a fan of motion controls; never have been, and from what I’ve seen from these two new controllers, I wont be any time soon.  

Last week, I had the bittersweet experience of having the final spring break of my college career.  Admittedly, most of it was spent playing Final Fantasy XIII without stopping so I could get the review up for you fine folks as quickly as possible.  However, on Saturday, some friends and I decided to take a trip to Atlantic City.  For the most part, it was an awesome time.

Despite the fact that I got myself really excited for Final Fantasy XIII, I kept my expectations low.  Through three and a half hours of the game, I haven’t seen enough yet to say that my expectations are being blown away, but there are definitely some positive things happening here.  

My gaming career began at the age of four, when my parents purchased for me a Sega Genesis.  Included were two controllers, the bundled Sonic the Hedgehog, and a copy of Evander Holyfield’s “Real Deal” Boxing (my father is a boxing nut).  For the longest time, all I knew were those two games, and I’m glad that was the case as each game offered an important lesson. 

Bored at Work: The Series

            When away from videogames, many of our readers will find themselves bored.  Either at work or at school, our minds will always wander from the task at hand back to the pastime we love.  Bored at Work will be a weekly blog post dedicated to my absent-mindedness at my day job; a tribute to finding games to play or think about, wherever they may be found.
