Would you kindly read this post.

Hello all,

It Seems every once and a while I go a few weeks with out an update. Then I post some news, and apologize for not posting enough. Well that’s not going to happen with this post. I’m not going to apologize for the lack of posting this time.

Did anyone catch any info from this years Game Developers Conference? There was some game announcements, and some new games shown off. Not as many as seen at some E3's but some stuff to note.
Epic games and Microsoft announced Gears Of War 2 should be out for November 2008. The game promises to be bigger and better. Think of the first Gears as an appetizer.

Wii Fit was shown off and Nintendo says there are plans for 10 games to use the balance thingly that goes with the game.
Other notable games consist of Sony’s MMO The Agency, Fable 2, The up coming MMO Age of Conan, This is Vegas, Fracture, Lego Indiana Jones and may others.

GDC is also home to the Game Developers Choice awards. Where game developers give awards to their peers, and the games they make. This year Portal took home the game of the year award, and plans for a Portal 2 were announced, as well as the cake is a lie.

There is now a street date for Metal Gear Solid 4. Members of Fox Hound can get their paws on it June 12 2008. There will also be a 80 gig PS3 bundele package with Metal Gear Solid 4 and a PS3 control with rumble. The whole package will set you back roughly $500.00.

An upcoming project is on they way from Gearbox software. The company has announced they are working on a new project that will be really big. Gearbox is known for the Brother is Arms series, and the port of Halo to the PC. So, what can this mean for us? Well it could be a project for the 360. Interesting to see what will come about.

The Grand Theft Audio movie has been canceled. No reason has been giving for the move being axed. Rapper Enieim was attached for the project. This is all according to another gaming blog. No need to pay attention to other gaming blogs this is the only one you need to read.
I’m sure we’ve all seen the recent Game Pro issue with stuff about the Gears of War sequel. Well Epic games has shot down the Game Pro article. They say Gears of War 2 has not been announced to any one just yet. Of course we should note Game Pro’s article was just about what we might be able to except for the next Gears installment.

"The Best" series for PS3 is due out on March 9th in Japan. The Best is simal to the greatest hits for PlayStaion and PlayStaion 2. The first games are Resistance: Fall of Man, Folklore, Gundam Seed, Ninja Gaden and Ride Racer. Sony seems to be really pushing it for a best series aside from Resistance.

After a number of delays Rock Star has set a street date for Grand Theft Auto 4. Get your calendars out and mark April 29th 2008 down for the game release. Well I think I heard the 29th. I can’t really remember. Anyways some time near the end of April is when it is going to come out. Rock Star had some trouble getting the game ready for the PS3. That’s one of the reason for the delays. Bad PS3 Bad.

And speaking of the PS3 apparently Sony is going to stop making the 80 gig model, and only focus on the 40 gig. This is according to an internal memo from Best Buy. The Best thing to do is hang onto you PS2s.

If you want to play Rock Band and don’t have anyone to play with well don’t worry. Soon you will be able to buy the game with separate instruments. The drums will probably cost the most.

Safety and Peace

Safety and Peace

Video games sales were up 43% in 2007 compared to 2006. Halo 3 is one of the reason for the increase. Well, kind of. It’s not the reason, but I needed a way to lead into saying it was the best selling game of 07. Taking Second place was Wii play bundled with the Wii Remote.
If you own a PS3, and, liked Resistance Fall of man than you might be happy to know there is a sequel planed. And if you’re a fan of BioShock than you may be sad to hear there is talks about a BioShock movie. Let’s do are best to keep Uwe Boll away from this one.

And while we’re talking about the year 2007, and games I should take this time to say it was one of the best years for music based games. Thanks to Continued sales of Guitar Hero 2, and the release of Guitar Hero 3.Let’s also not forget about a little game called Rock Band.

Is man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

I’ll begin with this post with the sad news we’ve all been waiting to here. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed. Again. The game was supposed to come out in December 2007, than got pushed back to Feb. 10 2008, and now we are looking at a March 10th release date for SSBB. The reason for the delay is because the game needs just a little bit more polishing. It might seem a bit annoying to have a game you’ve been waiting for be delayed twice, but I’d rater wait a little longer to play a great game then get one early that has a lot of flaws.

Fans of Assassin’s Creed might be happy to hear that the DS game might not just be a port of the concel versions. There is a rumor that Assassin’s Creed for the DS will be a pre-qulll to the 360 and PS3 game, and will feature 3D sword fights and acrobatics, as well as four count ‘em four new cites. Holy snot past on a pink car.

There is also a rumor floating around that Hudson Soft. Is working on a Wii version of the NES classic Duck Hunt. Not much is known about the game right now, but it would be really cool if you can shoot the dog. Since I first played Duck Hunt I have been wanting to take a few shots at that mut. If Hudson makes it so you can shot the dog I will be happier then a fat kind in a room of chocolate bars. No wait I’ll be happier then a star trek fan talking to a real girl.

And speaking of Star Trek apparently the MMORPG has being stopped in production. Live long and proper? Not for a while anyways.

And finally who went to see In the Name of the King: A Dugon Sige story when it opened? Any one? You is your hand up? No ok. The film directed by everyone’s favorite director (roll my eyes) Uwe Boll cost 70 million dollars to make, and only made 3 million opening weekend. Boll says he is done with big budget moves and will focus on smaller films, because that’s where his passion is, and chances are now no one will give him a big budget move to work on.

Dear all nine reads of this blog. Let me start off by saying I’m sorry for the lack of posts. I am truly Sorry. Sorry that our princes in another cassel. At first I was pre occupied with the Xbox 360, and then I got buys with work. I probably still could have found the time to update, but I’m only one guy. But like a like a dominatrix getting over a case of hemroids I’m back and ready to an some buts.

And let me start off the first post of the new year by saying how much of a great year 2007 was for games. So many amazing titles came out I’m not going to get around till playing 2008, or this year as some people call it. Good thing I don’t have a girlfriend, or I’d have even less time to spend playing games. I still can’t get over the number of funazing (new word I made up fun & amazing.) Games game out in 2007. Just off the top of my head I thinking about: The orange Box, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Assassin’s Creed, BioShock, Syphon Filter Logan’s Shadow, Mario Party DS, Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. Super Mario Galaxy I could go on and on, but I won’t un less you want me to? Ok I won’t.

2008 is looking to be a eye freaking great year for games. We should be seeing Dead Space, Super Smash Brother Brawl, Metal Gear Sold 4, ETC. Also Resident Evil 5 is due out early 2009. So it looks like I have my hands full with gaming stuff to talk about on this here blog. And I promise to not ignore it for as long as I did last time. I can’t update every day, but I can update more often.
