Wow, there is a lot gaming news. 

First off, Sony Move.  -- I'm still not interested, maybe a little more intrigued, but there is really nothing there for me. Hopefully Sony won't end up getting covered in garbage party games like the Wii.

 
Metro 2033 looks pretty awesome, but I'm unsure of the game play.  I'm not too familiar with Dmitry Glukhovsky literary works but from what I can tell it takes place in a post apocalyptic Moscow. It sounds like the game will lack a conventional HUD, and it appears as though the majority of the game will take place underground. However, when the character is exposed to the outside world the game will also require you to set and check a wrist watch (in game) to change your gasmask filters. This almost sounds a bit monotonous. Do we really need this in our games?  I understand how this can add a level of tension - such as being in the middle of a firefight and hearing an alarm going off to let you know you only have moments left - but there is the possibly it will be overused. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

 
Last night I also managed to see a little of the IGF awards live form GDC. It was awful. Horrid jokes, a serious lack of public speaking skills, and a look of nervousness that made me feel uncomfortable for them just made it bad. Then Jessica Chobot comes out. She was the last person I heard speak, and this was diffidently the low point of the show for me.  She was loud, obnoxious, and she was the only person to swear. Good for you Jess now go lick a PSP.  

 
Anyway, I listened to the Darksiders soundtrack. It was really good. This is, of course, is coming from someone who enjoyed the game and the music so my opinion, like all opinions, is a bit biased.  The music is very motivational to me, so when I have the urge to write it really inspires.   

 
A friend I work with recommend a game called Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite for the PSP.  After reading some reviews and knowing I have a several hour plane flight ahead of me I download the game. It's pretty neat so far, but I'm not going to really have time to get into it until I'm in the air. My PSP is excited as I haven't shown it any love in quite some time.

 
Today I added a new podcast to iPod for my long drive to work. It's called "This is Only a Test" from tested.com. I really like the website and I hope the podcast is of the same quality. Fun and tech what more can I ask for?

 
Since I am working this weekend as well I'll try and do some shorter blogs on GDC or what I've been playing.

 
Have a good night and I'll see you online.
