Nintendo Hits A Zelda Homerun

Twighlight Princess is the new Zelda game from Nintendo and it is fantastic. All of their expertise from all of the past games has been put to use in this game and it will be a classic.

Whether you play it on the Gamecube or the Wii, you get an almost identical experience except for the motion controls on the Wii version. These motion controls are not just added on to be there, they actually add to the experience. Although the Gamecube is missing these extra features, it is still the same game and is just as fun and entertaining. The graphics for the two games look identical and are the best that the series has ever looked.

Link and the enemies look more realistic and detailed than they ever have before. I happen to like the cell shaded games of the past, but this is a more grown up Link, tougher and more menacing than in the past. The graphics and motion controls are great, but what set a Zelda title apart from other adventure games is the game play and the puzzles and the boss fights. The Zelda games have always been known for these attributes and this installment does not let you down in these categories.

Zelda historically has good game play and fighting mechanics along with the awesome puzzles and boss fights. The dungeons are super well designed, they go on and on and you can play forever trying to figure out what's coming. As always the boss fights are fabulous, some small and fun, others huge, but they always take brain power to solve. It's not just pushing buttons, it's intense.

All in all, this is a great title and should not be missed, it is one of the best Zelda games of all time, and that is saying a lot. It is not only one of the best games on the Gamecube and the Wii, but it is one of the best games released on any system in the last three or four years.

More Fun on 30 Rock

NBC continues to have a winner in 30 Rock, it only trails The Office in rankings. The fourth season has just started and has proven to be just as good as previous seasons. Season 1 through 3 are available on DVD and should be part of your collection.

The first season shows what good writing and good characters can do when they get a chance to develop. The show is about a television show on NBC, shot on set at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Tina Fey, who created the show and helps write the Emmy winning sitcom, plays Liz Lemon. She is a workaholic, with minimal social skills, and as head writer for the show inside a show, is in charge of keeping the writers and actors in line.

Alec Baldwin plays the boss, he just likes to do the business not the problems so that's where Tina Fey's character Liz comes in, to take care of the issues. She has to handle the writers as well as the actors as they are all problem children.

The largest part of the 30 Rock's TV show is given to Tracy Morgan, from SNL. He plays Tracy Jordan, a movie star now in a TV role, who doesn't function normally and causes lots of probems so he has to be supervised. Most of the characters who play actors on the show are weird like him and need constant oversight.

You should buy the DVD's in order to watch and then be up to speed on these crazy characters this season. Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey work well together. Tracy Morgan has found the role made for him and is very comfortable there as he appears to be having fun. The show has only gotten better as time has passed and the characters have been developed.
