Weekly Poll: Speedy Thing Goes In
January 14, 2008
I've always been a part of the "just play games!" camp, but I have to admit that watching videos through my Nintendo Wii web browser is very useful. I've been using Orb to watch my computer video files on my television and it's difficult to go back to squinting at the comparatively smaller computer monitor. I don't need another DVR, and while I would use a Sony PlayStation 3 for Blu-Ray movies, I can't say that I'd do the same for HD-DVD if I had a Microsoft Xbox 360 and then had to buy the HD drive add-on to get access to the HD movies. Yes, I think I'm ready to switch teams to "play media content" when it comes to game consoles.
I finally broke down and bought Portal over the weekend. So far I'm very impressed with it, particularly about how the game is basically a first person problem solver game. I can't remember the last time I've come across a game like this one. I realize I'm a little late to the party on this one considering that the game was released three months ago, but my goodness it is an enjoyable experience. So how about you? Have you played Portal yet?
