Into the new year

12Jan09

Hey readers

You might have noticed the decline of posts from me. This I feel guilty about and I’ve got more sad news that I will be posting a lot less this year due to the lack of an internet connection. So this will kind of be the end of the blog or just temporary.

So during the past few weeks theres been some stuff happening in the gaming world.

The closure of the studio that made need for speed games is one to mention. EA closed down the black box studio along with a few other studios due to the economy. A number of other studios are also closing or letting some workers go.

This year in gaming is going to be great. It could even be better then 2008. 2008 had a great line up but most of the games ended up in some sort of dissapointment. Although 2009 does have a  potential line up again with the economy most studios have shrinked and requires greater effort to rush the games thus leaving us with more dissapointment.  Some games that I’m looking forward to includes :

Prototype looks like it could be a great game.

Bioshock2 will be great but I hope it only comes 2010(so that they have more time perfecting it).
Supreme commander 2, I’m really keen to see what Gas power and Square Enix(cant get better then SqEn) did on this.
Also when Chrono Trigger finally arrives in SA that will be nice.
F.E.A.R. 2 : Project origins.
The sims 3
Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox360) and Tekken 6.
Colin McRae DiRT 2.
Uhm… the new Harry Potter game based on the upcoming movie( I know they always get bad reviews but I always enjoy playing them).
Also interested in infinity wards new Call of Duty(if there is going to be one).
Half Life2 episode3
New Portal

(the list excludes the obvious diablo3 and starcraft games)

There are also bound to be a number of announcements still to come and a few that I forgot to mention. So 2009 is looking good.

Anime wise there are also some news regarding the US Death Note movie featuring the guy from high school musical(zac i think). I read on facebook that there are even rumours of it being a musical.

The Cowboy Bebop movie also made headlines when they said Keanu Reeves is going to be spike(not a big suprise if you’ve read the blog post).

Full Metal Alchemist is getting a make over which is something that a lot of us are looking forward to.

Also remember all those games I claimed that I was going to review? I received a bigger batch and cant seem to finish the games. All I’ve been focusing on is Call of Duty. One other gem that I’ve been playing on the DS is DragonBall Origins. It is a really cool game that I do recommend for fans.

So readers keep your heads high and enjoy 2009. Hopefully I’ll  get some kind of chance to post here again.

Enjoy!
