First Gameplay Footage of Bioshock 2!

Gametrailers just posted the first gameplay footage of Bioshock 2 and I'm just going to say it right now..... I'm super excited for it now. I was excited for it before, but now.... it just looks amazing. From the looks of it, it looks like they are adding so much more to an already great game. Anyways, I'm going to keep it short, but anyways, take a look at the video if you haven't already!

Nintendo DSi... Worth it?

So, is anyone planning on picking up an DSi? I wouldn't mind having one myself, but do I want to pay $170 for one? Right now, there isn't much out there that takes advantage of the hardware and I don't know if I would get much use out of the new features it brings to the table. I'm not too excited for the cameras that are built in and while the SD slot would be really helpful I still wouldn't find myself using it that much. I do like the functionality of downloading games from the store though and then I guess I could see the use of the SD slot other than to put music and whatever else on it. Now I'm not too sure on the ability to play Virtual Console games but if they let you play them on the DSi, that would be pretty neat. Who knows, maybe after the DSi is out for awhile, Nintendo will show something that really puts the DSi to use. Right now though, I'm happy with the DS Light.

Whats everybodys thoughts on the DSi??

Bioware is pretty much the opposite of fail.

So I just recently started getting excited about Bioware's newest IP, Dragon Age: Origins, after seeing a few gameplay videos from GDC. The action reminds me very much of NWN and early Baulder's Gate and the game universe unique character classes seem really awesome. The game does seem like it's very much built to be played on a PC, so it will be interesting to see how they handle it on the 360. No reason to worry though, whens the last time Bioware let you down?

Fat Princess, anyone? HEYOOOOOO!

Aaaaaaaand another reason I wish I had enough cash to pick up a PS3. Fat Princess looks like multiplayer bliss. Check out the video!
