Nintendo Wii : first 5 mins impressions
I got the Wii ( was impossible to find it downtown Hreraklio, but, weird as it may sound, I did manage to pick it up in Moires ) and I am just watching it upgrading its firmware from the Net. So here goes my first 5 mins impressions, in a single sentenced: Its wickedly sexy and it feels.. amazing! More in a while:)

The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda, perhaps the best game series to ever come to life, welcomes the Twilight Princess. Check the verdict for this amazing game and perhaps you will get an idea just how good it is. I would highly recommend to go ahead and watch GameTrailer's video review. While you are at it, check out GameTrailer's awesome Legend of Zelda retrospective parts 1...6.
This game, along with the ability to play Gamecube games and classic ones via the Virtual Console is the reason I am getting the Wii. Nintendo makes games that may lack cutting edge graphics, but more than makes up for it with perfect gameplay.
Download the six part GameTrailers.com Legend of Zelda retrospective in one big file. 50 minutes of game goodness weighting around 3Gs.

PS3 Loses two exclusives, snagged by 360 : After losing GT IV and Assasin's Creed, two more titles slipped from Sony's hands. Fatal Inertia ( gorgeous game ) and Blade Storm : The Hundred Year's War. Also discussed at joystiq.com, which also offers an insight of how this came to be.
Trillian Astra preview : My brother loves this application. I never liked it much, then again I never got to use Windows for long, before switching to Linux and back again -- until I was lucky enough to jump ship to the one true OS.
Metal Gear Solid : Portal Ops Preview : I turned on my PSP yesterday, only to upgrade the firmware to 3.0 and, while I was at it, played Wipeout Pure for a few minutes. It was great fun, however Wipeout pure is the only game that I actually like on the system. I am looking forward to The Legend of Zelda : Plantom Hourglass's for the Nintendo DS - this is going to be the second Nintendo DS game I am going to buy, after New Super Mario Bros. Who can resist Link and his green tunic charm?
Small Arms is now available for download on Xbox Live. A lovely game which I see myself spending quite some time with. Also, the Xbox Live Video Marketplace is open for business. HD-Movies cost $6, SD-Movies $4. HD-TV shows 3$, SD-TV shows $2. Sweet!
