I don't know whether I should say this but I think I would like to say that I'm looking for the review of Turning Point - Fall of Liberty from destructoid. I haven't played this game but I heard the review was low. IGN gave it 50/100, teamxbox 53/100 and game informer 30/100 (I got these scores from http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/turningpointfallofliberty?q=turning%20point).
In the past few days, I've seen turning point - fall of liberty has been advertising in this website. I saw destructoid posting many reviews and I thought I would have seen one on this game but no. I couldn't help but feel destructoid might be afraid to offend the advertiser. Of course, they might have not played the game yet.
I'll be expecting a lot of flaming but I just want to give a piece of my mind.

I've ordered a new Xbox 360 Pro Premium with falcon chip. I have mixed feelings. First, I feel very excited as I couldn't wait to play games like Halo3, gears of war and half life. However, I'm afraid that my Xbox 360 will fail on me.
I live in an Asian country which Microsoft doesn't provide service for Xbox. If I would like to claim the warranty, I need to send it to Singapore with the postage paid fully by me. So, warranty is useless to me and I just pray that my Xbox will be alright. I'll be very happy if my Xbox can live for 2 years. I know it's too much to hope for but that's what I really want.
I've been doing some research on how to prevent 3RROD and fix Xbox 360. There are some guidelines which claimed they are able to fix and prevent 3RROD but I need to pay for it. However, I really wonder how reliable they are. Of course, they are not able to prove it unless the machine they fixed have lasted 2 years without problem. Morever, if they have figured out the "cure", I think Microsoft would have fixed the problem as well.
I just hope by the time if my Xbox fail me, someone would have found the ultimate cure and I don't mind paying some extra buck for it.
I'll be blogging more on Xbox when I lay my hand on it. Maybe I'll try to do some tiny modifications like installing an external exhaust fan to prevent the 3RROD. Maybe some of you guys could give some valuable opinion on this matter.

I got hold of this game few days ago and to me, it's the best family game for me since wii sports. Previously, when my friends came over to my place, they'll enjoy playing wii sports. However, games like warioware and mario party 8 didn't attract their attention. (Personally I don't enjoy these games either.) However, when I introduced raving rabbids 2, they became interested again. Try it out if you have the chance. I don't know how to write a proper review but if you are interested to see more of the game play, you can head to the link below.

There's only one thing in my mind for the past few days. It is to get a xbox360. However, the reason stopping me is 3RROD. I've being doing some research from the internet and there are claims that the new Falcon CPU is smaller and reduces the chances of becoming a 3RROD. I tried to search all the possible forums and news from the internet but there are not strong evidence/statistics that it really does. I know that the falcon chip is implanted in the Halo3 Xbox360 bundle pack but I heard there are also problem of 3RRODs. I just hope if there are people out there who will kindly link me to the possible sites which shows the reliability or unreliability of the new Falcon chip. Or maybe some of you own a Xbox360 with the 65nm CPU can share with me your experience.
I know some might suggest to buy a Xbox360 and return to microsoft if 3RROD happens. However, this is not an ideal suggestion for me and I really don't like to endure the ordeal of returning and waiting for the console to come back.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

I was shocked to see the comments posted for my blog. First of all, I would like to say I'm new to this blog thing and I spent some time to make it works. Thanks to those who told me zelda (wii) was released last year and that's why I removed it from my list. However, although resident evil 4 was old, since the wii edition was released this year (please correct me if I'm worng), I just include it to my list.
I've never played zack and wiki. That's why i didn't include it to my list. However, I would be eager to get my hand on it and would let you all know if it's really that good. For no more heroes (japan version), the voice acting is in english but most of the menus are in japanese. It took me some time to understand the way to play this game. However, there is a good game guide available in the internet and it helped me a lot.
In case you haven't watched the 1up impression on "no more heroes", this is the link http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/16811

These are my humble selections of wii games of the year.
1) Super Mario Galaxy
2) Resident Evil 4
3) Metroid Prime 3 Corruption
4) Medal of Honor 2
5) No more heroes (Don't be jealous I own a japanese wii)
I also have two games which are the most disappointing wii game of the year.
1) Fifa 08 (wii edition) - totally crap. Please don't waste your money.
2) Resident Evil : UC - Not even close to its predecessor (Resident Evil 4). huh.
