Yep, first in line. Actually I kinda wait for Microsoft's handheld. I already own PSP and DSi but to have Xbox in your pocket would be awesome. And since Shane Kim kinda confirmed it that they are planning to release their own handheld I'm just waiting when.

Wow, that's epic. If we're lucky maybe someday they will also do Geometry Wars, because you know it's totally colorfull. Or better, picture that, Arkanoid: The Movie, yeah can't wait.

WTF is this? Cross between Uncharted and Just Cause or something? That's how the follow up to cult noir gangster action is suppose to look like? Well, at least we still have Alan Wake to look forward to.

That's very kind of you GiantBombers ;) Recently I played Telltale's Wallace & Gromit Ep1 and it was pretty darn funny. These guys know how to make great adventure games. 1600MSP is not a bad price for the whole season of Sam & Max but I'm saving precious points for BF1943 later this month, it'll be super awesome to get this for like free.

I don't know what's up with this game. I played the demo and it didn't impress me at all. Maybe it's just me, I don't know.

Both "Gears of War" games took my my patience to the limits while playing on insane difficulty. But I'm proud I beat them. "Ninja Gaiden 2" was pretty tough but it didn't frustrate me that much. The most frustrating experience is when I play some section of the game and die at the very end of it and have to replay it all over again. Like last level in Alien campaign of "Aliens vs Predator" on the so called director's cut difficulty, without ability to save for the entire level and dying on the very last encouter against two Predators. The tension was high throughout the entire game. Or the original Castlevania game, damn that was tough.

I'm not worried looking back at such games as Mass Effect or KotOR, they were both very deep console rpgs done without sacrificing anything. Even if Dragon Age is developed primarily for PC I think it will do just fine on consoles, and since my PC sucks, I'm buying 360 version on day one :)

Rebellion's own 1999 AvP is one of my top favourite games of all time and even though they are pretty much making the same game for the third time it is a must play for me. If it's even remotely close to the quality of former game then it might be one of the most brilliant shooters of the year.

Edit: Ok, It's not coming out this year. Sega says early 2010. This is also probably the only Aliens game coming out at all. Obsidian is finishing Alpha Protocol and making Fallout 4 and Gearbox is clearly focusing on Borderlands and while Colonial Marines is not officially cancelled there's a good chance it eventually will be. Turns out AvP is our only hope.

Surely it will come out on 360, after all they wouldn't release Orange Box for consoles and then say, oh that's all for you console players, you won't see how HL2 storyline ends. PS3 release is a mystery cause Valve doesn't care about Sony's console. EA pretty much on its own ported Orange Box to PS3 and as for Left4Dead it was never meant to be released on PS3.

And is Ep3 going to be released within something like "Orange Box 2"? Might be, most preferably alongside Portal 2 and maybe something else (Counter Strike 2 anyone?). I doubt it will be available on XBLA cause it's just too big for this. It would cost a hell lot of Microsoft points also. As it is conslusion to Freeman's story Ep3 will probably be bigger, better (and more badass) than previous episodes especially that they are already working on it for like 2 years now which is more than Ep1 and Ep2.

Anyways, I'm just guessing here really. Maybe E3 will reveal something about HL future :)

I haven't played online for a while except ocassionally Gears of War 2 but maybe it's time to return to TF2 which is btw my favourite multiplayer online game ever (L4D got close to it but TF2 is still the best). I don't guarantee I'll be always available but look for Beechbone666.
