The Stupid Gamer

Wow, first post in a LONG time. I guess that can happen when you undergo surgery.

Anyway, I picked up the Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on drive earlier today along with Batman Begins, Superman Returns, and the free copy of King Kong. After just looking at a few scenes it looks great. I’ll come back with detailed impressions when I can spend more time with the individual titles and mess around with the features and settings.

So, I hereby welcome myself back to active posting on The Stupid Gamer.

For a killer deal on one of the finest RPGs on the GameCube, head over to Amazon.com and take advantage of the awesome deal on Baten Kaitos: Origins. At $19.99 it’s a great game to add to your library or to hang on to for a gift.

Here’s the link to the sale: Baten Kaitos: Origins.

For all two of you that read this blog, you may have noticed a decline in the number of rants and bits of info that I’ve posted lately. Some of this is due to health issues, but the main reason is that the holiday season has me swamped at work and with game reviews over at AMN.

Recently I’ve started writing tech reviews over at AMN Tek. You can check that out here: http://tek.advancedmn.com

I’ll be back to updating regularly soon enough, just give me some time.

Nintendo was kind enough to send a pair of Wii Classic Contollers my way along with some Wii points so that I could dig into the Virtual Console experience. I spent hours downloading classic games and playing them by myself and with my wife. In the end I found that the controller was really the best way to experience the library of VC games.

My full review was posted on AMN Tek, a new tech blog that I’m a part of. Check out the review here: Wii Classic Controller Review.
