After that there really isn't anything, well, we could go into mod world and say that I'm looking forward to the Black Mesa project coming out this year. I really hope that Valve picks up on these guys like they picked up on 2 college kids with the concept of Portal. 

Now this is just to throw it out there but I was reading my latest GameInformer and- well I will first mention that they have decieved me before by having the typo over Guitar Hero: World Tour and stating that it was coming to the PC, obviously this did not happen so i was bumbed about that. So now there is another thing that im speculative about and that is that GI listed Killzone 2 as coming to the 360 and PC, yeah, thats what I said. Ok the 360 one is highly ruled out since I'm very certain that Killzone 2 is a PS3 exclusive but the PC version seemed more likely. Giantbomb still reads PS3 only like everywhere else but it is nice to dream =]

All thatts about it for games but Since I am a PC gamer I am crazy about hardware. Im really close to getting a second 4850 to get a crossfire setup going. Well thats my personal goal but I'm also looking forwar to nvidia and ATi getting it on again and seeing who is goign to be graphics king in 2009. Nvidia is getting an early lead with their unrealease but already benchmarked GTX295 dual GPU card. So seeing these two Graphics behemoths battle it out for supremasy is always fun and rewardign to technolgy as they push technolgy further.

Sort of Tieing into grahpics cards but not really I'm really pumped about the realase of Windows 7. There is so mch hype behind it that I hope it lives up to its "better that Vista" slogans. However we already have beta Torrents already out for it but I want the real thing. When you sit to think about it, computing this year is really getting revolutionized. People are going to step into another era of speed and interfaces and in late 2008 we had the realease of the Core i7 processor, all of the suddent we have 8 cores on one processor now. Along with this we have the X58 Chipset to take away the NB from Intel based Motherboards and give a link to Crossfire and SLi. With a new chipset there came new RAM, DDR3 hit speeds never heard of before as now we have ram runnig at 2000 Mhz! All this setting up for the relase of Windows 7 to make a totaly new experience into all who use it. 

What does all this new hardware and software mean? more speeds and smoother games and more importantly better looking games as with Windows 7 there is DirectX11 and Open CL. Even though DX11 is not much of a revamp to DX10, it will surelly bring a new level of realism to games and applications. OpenCL is going to ease up people's wallest as they give people the choice of using the CPU to render graphics.

I think 2009 is going to be great year to be a PC gamer =]
