Thirteen Games I'd Play If I Owned the Other Consoles (in no particular order.)

My video game console of choice? The Nintendo Wii. I love my Wii and all the games for it. I have an absolute blast when playing it and wouldn't trade it for any of the other consoles. I have nothing against the other consoles, I just don't have hundreds of dollars laying around to go buy them and start a library of games for each one. Since I actively engage in gamer culture, it's impossible not to know about the vast selection of successful and beloved games for the others, many of which look like they'd be right down my alley. So, I've decided to compile a list of games for the Playstation 3 and X-Box 360 that I would play if I owned either of those consoles.

A couple things to note here. The favorite genre out there right now is the FPS. I don't mind FPS games, they're fun, but I don't hold them in the same regard that some people do. WarRock and The Conduit are plenty enough for me, and I really have no desire to play Gears of War, Halo, Call of Duty, Fallout, or whatever else. There are a couple shooters on this list, but they appeal to me for a different reason that I'll discuss when I get to them.

Adam Reviews an Anime: K-On!



I don’t watch a lot of anime. The main reason is because, well, I don’t care much for television. I don’t really like to watch TV that much. The extent of my TV watching usually consists of finding some background noise while I surf the web or something that feels more productive than watching TV but really isn’t. Keep in mind that anime isn’t exactly widely available on basic cable, either. So in order for me to watch anime, I have to actually put effort into finding it somewhere on the internet and sitting down and watching it. Given my indifference-at-best attitude toward television in general, I’m sure you can start to understand why.
