Microsoft's official website lists Kinect price

Microsoft's official website has listed its new, hands-free gaming peripheral, Kinect, with a price point of $149.99.

Personally, unless they can show me something a little more interesting title-wise for the Kinect, I won't be paying anything more than $10 for this peripheral. Come on Microsoft, let's see what this thing can really do!

A Transformers game that doesn't suck? READ ON!


Transformers: War for Cybertron is now available on the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii, the PS3, the PC and the Nintendo DS. All platforms finally get to experience a true Transformers video game; a title which will appeal to the old fans and the new alike.

Head over to IGN and read the review.

I have also begun watching Soul Eater, an anime which, at first reminds me somewhat of other series such as Bleach, involving demons and the destruction of said demons to save the world. But what has really caught me, actually, is the art style. The extra-cartoony look of Soul Eater makes it seem that much more deranged, almost Alice in Wonderland-like, in some ways.

That's about all for now. Talk to ya soon.

Staff Members

I am looking for staff members to help update the website/blog itself, as well as moderators for the forums. Message me on the forums for more information, and we will see what we can work out.

Thank you very much.

The EE Forums are now online


The EE Forums are now online, and you can visit them by visiting the link to the right or by clicking HERE. I need forums staff members right now, and I believe I am going to need help around the main website here as well. If interested, just send a comment, or message me on the boards.

Now, switching to video game news, E3 came and went, last week, and to be fair, I was not overly impressed by what we saw. Microsoft did little for me. Kinect is not grabbing my attention, and I for one do not foresee myself purchasing a Kinect down the road.

Nintendo is looking up, however, with the 3DS and the slew of titles announced, and for the first time in a very long time, I am actually excited for a hand held system. That combined with the Wii's announcements, including The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and a remake of Goldeneye 007, Donkey Kong Country Returns and more pushed Nintendo back to the head of the industry once more, as far as I am concerned.

Sony had some decent titles, such as Killzone, but nothing overly interesting. I think that many of the titles seen at the expo this year that show promise, or that I am finding myself excited about are actually third party games. Such as Konami's Metal Gear Solid: Rising.

All in all, good show for Nintendo, but not the greatest E3 I have ever seen.

That's all for right now. Just so you know, if you are ever reading this page, I will be updating a lot more frequently now! See ya.

More than a year later...

Yeah, I am still kicking. What's new?

I have begun writing a new novel. The complexity of what I am writing, and the matter of just simply trying to organize my thoughts is very nearly exhausting. Trying to keep everything together is not easy, but, at the same time, it is very fun. The story seems to be coming along quite nicely.

I think I am going to start posting more works of my own, and see what everybody has to say.

That's about all for now.

Wow, I Had Forgotten About This Sucker

Nothing new going on, lately.
I think I'm getting back together with my ex, which I am pretty happy about. So yay for me.

On to other things it has sort of been a slow year and a bit since I last posted on here. Appleseed Ex Machina came out (I have not seen it, yet). In addition, the rights to a film based on my favourite book The Wheel of Time, have been gained and so now I get to sit here and wait and see just how terribly they can butcher it. More than ten books condensed into three films, with massive over-arcing storylines and numerous characters. Fantastic.

What else. I saw Taken last night. Terrible movie, of course, but Liam Neeson makes up for it by kicking so much ass.

Several new games came out this year, as well, but nothing that really grabbed my attention or sucked me in completely. Currently, I am plugging away at Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

That's about all I have to write for now, so I'll take my leave of all the people who aren't reading this.
