Bomberman on XBLA This Wednesday
A completely new version of Bomberman appears as this weeks Xbox Live Arcade title. It is the first Bomberman to be programmed and made by a North American developer, but has the full support of Hudson. They actually received a lot of feedback and info from the Hudson team in Japan in regards to many aspects to make sure they delivered a true Bomberman experience. The game will support 4 players locally, and 8 players online. I am really looking forward to this after how disappointing Bomberman Land for the Wii was! Plus now I get to obsess over my friends high score and gamer points. Yup I am shallow and competitive!

I don’t even read the Nintendo sites I use to because fanboys keep making a big deal about lame ass games I can’t relate to as well as new Wii peripherals that just make me ask, “Why?”.
So now the delima. I got sick and tired of Sony 3 years back and traded it for a Xbox. I play the monstrosity of a machine once or twice every three months. It seems to give me a weird feeling. It has no charm… or something that escapes words really. It’s just a feeling I get booting the console, holding the controller and playing the games. PS1 and PS2 both had a home like feeling that helped make me comfy playing games for hours at a time.
So here is the big debate; should I give 360 a chance, or gamble on PS3?
