Bioshock on PS3, trying to just match the 360 version

It's interesting that 2k is making such an effort to say they are "matching" the fidelity of the 360. All those with PS3 picket signs were expecting graphical improvements and the usual ridiculous expectations because of the PS3 hypothetical magic graphic powers. And Blu-ray is supposed to make everything better right? Wrong.

With my slight PS3 jabs aside, I'm appalled that anyone could expected wasted development time in improving unbroken graphics. It really isn't in the publisher's best interest to do anything but reiterate what they've already put out there. Sure, they are adding a few negligible features, but that's merely to entice those who are already bent on the PS3. In the end, it's about money. That's why exclusives such as Bioshock don't stay as such.

As a final word, both systems are perfectly capable of this impressive game. They will be about on par with each other. Pick your white or black poison, and get on with it. The game is more important than bickering about details.

Yet another business trip

Well folks, I'm off for another week for Cisco training. As I did last time, I imagine I'll still find time to plop a few words here. There's always breaks and after class, although I'm bringing my friend Rachael this time around. So I may be too distracted, but nobody cares anyway.

I'm hoping that extra security isn't going to be an issue. We're flying into DC, and I've heard they've tightened their sphincters a little bit because of recent problems in the U.K. We're leaving extra early to ensure we make our flight.

Anyway, I'm going to see if I can get a hold of an Xbox 360 over there. Maybe my friend over there will buy one or something, or I can rent one. I have not been able to play much lately, so the week would be a good opportunity to catch up on the games that I've purchased but haven't been able to experience. Maybe I can finally complete Bullet Witch and whatever other titles I've slacked off on.

The trip will be from July 8th to the 15th. See you soon!
