I haven't been playing Wii.  Just PS3.  We've got Wii Sports (which you've played), Zelda, and Rayman Rabid Rabbits or something.

Sadly, no.  Just been playing God of War II (playstation 2 game) on the PS3.  That game is wicked fun.  Hard to believe it's a PS2 game actually.  I finished it last weekend when Shabadu was visiting.  It's the first PS2 game (besides Wrestling games) that I remember ever playing till the finish.

You should try it out on Titan mode.

Heh heh.. yah titan mode allowed me to get to the 3rd or 4th battle (even with the game beginning in god-mode) before dying.... on the easy setting I couldn't die if I tried... like Robin said when he sat in the driver's seat for the first time "holy hardness batman!"

Since I finished the game, this unlocked new costumes for Kratos...  Hawkeye was able to play "Cod of War" in which Kratos wears a big fish costume and attacks with fish hooks instead of swords.

The only problem is the cut scenes didn't keep up with the costume.

Holy Video Game Goodness!!  Check out this new gaming monitor from Alienware!  Hawkeye, I think we found the critical component to your next computer.

Here's an honest article about the monitor: http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=735

I read that article and man that think must weigh a ton!  The three verticle lines though would really tick me off though.  I'd just as soon wait for the flat panel version... so that at that time I can wait until it becomes cheaper, so that at that time I'll need a bigger monitor because of my elderly eyes losing their power.

Yeah, the vertical bars would bother me too.  I had read another review which hadn't mentioned them, and watched a youtube-ish video which didn't show them...  so I was more excited about it when I started writing the post, than when I found the article that I linked.

Doesn't matter.  By the time we can afford such a setup, we'll be buying pocket sized projectors that use lasers instead of a bulb.  And we won't have a keyboard, we'll have a laser projected keyboard image on a desktop that senses where your fingers land.  Yes, both these things exist.

Except the versions now burn your retinas and the backs of your hands... hard to play a first person shooter with the smell of burning human flesh and blurry vision.

Just makes for a more realistic experience.  

On that topic, there's a device you can buy for the PS2/PS3 that actually gives you an electric shock when certain events happen in game (eg, dying).  http://www.psxextreme.com/ps2-news/4349.html
