This is focused on the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii. Titles that I talk about include Alan Wake, Heavy Rain, and Zelda for Wii. I give my opinions on each and which ones I’m looking forward to and will likely buy. It’s a pretty big lineup of exclusives on the console and we will be spending a great deal of money this year. What are you going to buy? What is your favorite exclusive? Let me know in the comments

In this video, I discuss an article I found which claims the Playstation 3 “took 2009 in terms of exclusives”.

I share my thoughts on what I believe were some great exclusives for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 and which platform did better .. IN MY OPINION. This is not fact and I’m sure your opinion will differ. This is why I’m posing the question to you: What were your favorite exclusives for 2009 and why? Lots of speculation involved since some titles aren’t out yet so this is not a scientific method. Keep the console war to a minimum please. Take care!

In this video, I provide a useful tip for Halo 3: ODST.

If you receive a certain type of request, you could lose your game progress. I understand a great majority of you value your time and you don’t want to lose hours due to this game oversight. Check out the video for more. Link to story is here: http://j.mp/25tjB1

Bing has had a subtantial growth spurt over the past few months and has been doing cool things with Twitter and real-time search. It’s hard to determine whether Bing will overtake Google (or Yahoo) at this point, but Microsoft has gotten off to a good start. What are you thoughts on Bing? Let us know.

In this video, I answer a question from Ian regarding Onlive and how this will change the gaming culture.  I explain that OnLive provides games via a network connection.  Games are streamed over the network for you to play them.  It is a little box that you can attach to your Mac, PC or television that will enable you to play over the internet.  My opinion is that I don’t believe that OnLive will scale to meet demand.  Thanks to Ian for the question!

In this video,  I answer a question from antgrav concerning updating from Windows XP to Windows 7.  I explain that Windows XP does not have an upgrade path to Windows 7 but Windows Vista does.  I recommend that he save/clone his files off to an external drive so that he can easily restore his documents.  He also asks is it worth putting Windows 7 on his computer.  I explain that he shouldn’t put Windows 7 on his main machine because it’s not the final version.  Thanks to antgrav for the question.
