a tip for online training: make an extra account for your PSN and use it on new games :) this way you can improve your skills without ruining the status of your real PSN account :P
I think this would be some kind of "Blizzard Universe" or "WoB", because of the eyes (diablo) and then the protos' runes (starcraft) and the ice (lost vikings or maybe warcraft).
I had the wii and I sold it when I noticed this : The wii is a limited console with a limited number of good games and most of them are nintendo games and some of them are even over rated and boring (like zelda).
The strong point at the Nintendo DS for example is about having a good number of third party games; I like Nintendo games but also like third party games.
Hertz and cores are actually a real myth, you can probe that if you remember all that crap from Pentium 4 and then AMD came into the market with "less hertz" but actually better performance; after AMD came into the market Pentium 4 suddenly disappear together with the hyperthreading and the new Pentium (based in the Pentium 3 architecture) came to the fight and is what you have now being sold.
Exactly the same is happening now, Multi-cores will not make an application faster, those will only work with applications which depends on multiple processes (and you will have one core for Audio, another for graphics, another for doing math and another to keep them sync) but if you try to compile code it will be at the same speed since everything is going to be done by one core. multi cores only have a good application for games, where the application can be separated in multiple processes and this is why PC is being left behind.
All this "multi core" myth is a crap like the old fashioned "the more hertz (mhz or ghz) the better", adding more cores will not make your cpu "better" than other, there are more facts that matter and affects the performance. It just depends on what are you doing with the cpu.
