  • Sounds like ODST just wouldn't be the game for me then. I was hoping it would take Halo in a new direction for that one title, but seems like it's going backwards and being closer to Halo 1. Not that that's a bad game, I just don't want that again.  Seems like you're in a relatively good mood in this blog, so glad things seem to be going alright over there. ...

Figured maybe.... 2-3, then your brain would be like DUDE THAT ULTRA SPINNING NEIL DIAMOND ROYAL FLUSH COMBO and you'd go play Street Fighter 4 before posting this blog.   Don't take that the wrong way, either. I'm not at all meaning that in an attacking matter, just posting some lulz. (Gotta cover my bases before we get ...

Yeah, forgot to post that I beat Shadow Complex thursday night / friday morning. Took a picture of the end game screen: 
 
   
The picture doesn't capture the fact that I also got 100% map exploration as well. 
 
You're probably thinking "DAAAMN, it took you that long?" Well, yeah, it takes a long ass time to find all of those secrets, since they were scattered across the freakin' globe. The ones I left / missed landed off being far away from each other, and the complex can sometimes be very, very tricky to get to a certain point that you want to go to. They probably could have tightened up the screws a bit there, but it wasn't a huge deal really, I had a lot of fun exploring. 
 
The game was definitely great. It started off pretty slow for me, and I was thinking I had wasted my money, but once you start getting all of the cool upgrades and power-ups, it starts becoming very fun. I can't say I was absolutely blown away, or if I'll replay it any time soon, but I can say that I definitely recommend you check it out. Well worth the 15 bucks. 
 
Later.

5. Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony 

 
   
I have to admit, when this game's name was announced, it turned my head and had me a bit surprised that they went with such an in your face title to get peoples attention. Reguardless of any of that though, this is another expansion to Grand Theft Auto IV, one of my absolute favorite games of all time. If this game can hit me as hard as the original game or The Lost and Damned (which was absolutely amazing as well), this will be one hell of a game. Take me home, Rockstar. 
 
 

4.  StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty 

 
   
Set a course. The original StarCraft game still holds that title of the first and only RTS game that I have liked. It goes well beyond like though.. I LOVE it. I played it for years after I got it in my possession, playing with friends, creating my own campaign missions and multiplayer maps... awesome. The sequel looks to be bigger, better, and more awesome. What's not to love? 
 
 

3. Crysis 2 

 
   
What? Only number 3? At the moment, yes. There is basically NOTHING known about the game, and after Crysis Warhead not living up to my high expectations, I can't help but to be a little concerned with the title, especially when making a leap to the consoles. That said, the original game is absolutely amazing to me, and I can't wait to have more of it made by the boys that made the original game. More open endedness, please! 
 
 

2. Final Fantasy XIII 

 
   
Yeah. I've watched a bunch of footage of this game when the japanese demo came out, and I was absolutely captivated. It looked like a fantastic blend between Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy VIII, which are my two favorite Final Fantasy games, X being one of my favorite games of all time in general. With a seemingly interesting cast of characters and fantastic graphics, along with a recent insurgance of RPG love from me, this one is going to be a surefire hit. 
 
 

1. Rage

 
   
Surprised? Me too. Up until the recent Quakecon trailer of the game, I haven't looked into this game at all. I recently watched the new trailer and the old trailer, and wow, this game looks intense. Gameplay looks like an open world Fallout type game minus the RPG elements....mixed with motorstorm. Wow. Also, the fact that this is a brand new id IP has me extremely excited. id doesn't make new IPs very often, and when they do, they blow shit out of the water. Color me extremely interested. This game just looks epic. 
 
 
 
That's a wrap. Hope you enjoyed, and thanks for reading!

10. Crackdown 2 

 
   
Ah yes, the sequel to the Halo 3 beta. Haha, just kidding. 
 
The original game was one that I had no interest in, and thought it actually looked stupid before I got a chance to play it. Turns out the game was absolutely fun, and addicting as hell to boot. I spent many, many hours collecting every single orb, maxing all my stats, collecting every achievement (save for the dlc street races which I will get to at a later date). The thought of a sequel to this game was completely nullified in my brain, but the fact that it's actually happening is very exciting indeed. 
 
 

9. DOOM 4 

 
   
Nothing at all is known about this game, but hell if I'm not excited to the max. It's a new DOOM game! Yeah, DOOM 3 was sort-of the black sheep of the bunch, but was definitely a very cool game in it's own right. I would be lying if I didn't want the game to go back more to its old roots with the massive amount of enemies on screen and the absolute chaos. Still, the thought of getting another game in the legendary franchise that houses on of my favorite games of all time (DOOM II, WHICH IS COMING TO LIVE ARCADE YESESESESSS) gets me excited. 
 
 

8. The Last Guardian 

 
   
Ah, another title we know little about, right? Yeah, you could say that, but this is a TEAM ICO game. Yeah, you know... ICO? Shadow of the Colossus? Both amazing games and some of my all time favorites. What we've seen of the game so far in video has been full of emotion and love already, so I just cannot wait to see what comes from this game in the end. 
 
 

7. Shadow Complex 

 
   
I've been mostly on media lockout of this game because I want it to be as fresh as it possibly can when I finally download it. In fact, I was nervous just looking at screenshots for the game when posting this blog. I'm pretty pumped to get my hands on the game that is being touted as a cross between Metroid and Contra. Don't let me down, Chair! Your last game sucked...... 
 
 

6. Diablo III 

 
   
The first Diablo game was probably the very first online game I ever played, and I finished the game multiple times with many characters. The second game was leaps and bounds above that game IMO, and I played that even more than the first game. See where I'm going with this? When Diablo III comes out and undoubtedly outclasses its predecessors in features, environment, and of course graphics, we're going to have ourselves a real winner here. I guess the only real mystery here is... when is it going to actually come out? WANT, k thx. 
 
 
 
 
The final five gets revealed tomorrow.

With the majority of the big guns still far off, as well as others getting pushed back into 2010 and beyond, there are a lot of fantastic games to look forward to. It brings the mind to peace that we won't have another 2007 or 2008 on our hands, where getting 5 or 6 newly released games in one month was a necessity for the hardcore. With that said, the all-star lineup is thick and varied, and the following are the ones I'm most looking forward to, in order. Enjoy! 
 

15. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 

  
  
 
I'm not entirely sure if the 3D Castlevania series can be saved (or made excellent), but I'm keeping very hopeful on this one because it's being made in conjuction Kojima Productions. I enjoyed Lament of Innocence to a certain extent, but I couldn't help but feel there was much more that could have been done (we don't even talk about curse of darkness). 
 
The action in this new title looks very good, and reminiscent of God of War in ways, which is definitely not a bad thing. Just give me a lot of old school castlevania enemies, classic music, and memorable environments and I'll be all over this one, Konami. Don't F it up! 
 
 

14. Metal Gear Solid: Rising 

 
  
   
This is an interesting one, because NOTHING is known about this, other than the fact it still has Solid in the title, and apparently stars cyborg Raiden (or whoever you think the picture depicts). My thoughts are that this game is a ninja stealth/action game, with the awesomeness that is Metal Gear cinematics and storytelling wrapped within. Considering how breathtaking MGS4 was, if they can give even half as much love to this title during development, we're going to have a game to remember here. 
 
 

13. BioShock 2 

 
   
Ah yes, Rapture. The first game was captivating and charming, but not without flaws. There are a number of things I'd like to see addressed in the sequel, such as more enjoyable (or no) mini games, and more open endedness, but overall, I'm just interested in seeing where they're going to take the story, and if it's possible to follow up a game without making it feel like a forced continuation. Color me interested, 2K Marin. 
 
 

12. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 

 
   
Hey, I know I like to get down (and severely pissed) at this series, but there's one thing you cannot deny: there is a sheer level of quality packed into each game, and even if you write it off one day, you'll definitely get the urge to pick it up again later. And hey, maybe I suck at the games and I just can't handle it... but one things for sure: I'll be playing this game with my friends this christmas. 
 
 

11. Bayonetta

 

   
The action of Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden with a sexy female as the main lead. Hey, I'm a man, what can I say. But yeah, the gameplay looks excellent and the combos look insane. Let's just hope it doesn't suffer from serious backtracking like Devil May Cry 4 had.
 
 
 
Stay tuned tomorrow for #10-6.
