While My Wallet (and my wife) Gently Weeps….

Did you ever get the sense at the end of last year that there weren’t as many AAA gotta have titles released as has been the custom of years past?  Wondered where all of the games were that you were supposed to be playing in 2009?

As every gamer knows, this is typically the time of year where we can all relax and catch up on our backlogs, aka the pile of shame, that we’ve added even more games to during the holiday season.   I hope you all were able to catch up very quickly because the AAA games are coming over the course of the next 3 months.  This is what last fall should have looked like had it not been for Modern Warfare 2.  There is just one problem. We no longer have an excuse to get other people to purchase all of this gaming goodness for us since Christmas has come and gone.  Everyone has to figure out a way to get the games they want on their own or coerce someone into getting them for you.  You might want to be a little more loving this Valentine’s Day! ;)

What follows is a rundown of significant titles that are coming in the following months, so if you want to see why you, your wallet, your family, and anyone who is used to seeing you, even for a minute, in the outside world should be worried, follow the link….

Skate 3 is a Comin’

November 6th, 2009

AI2_Pure2_b_resizeEA came out with a new Skate 3 trailer recently, and it looks good.  Similar to the other Skate games, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  Skate 3 introduces co-op skating in a crew with your xbox live buds.  Check out this vid, looks like you will be able to compete with other crews.

Hit me up if you want to be in the GHR Skate crew.  If not, and I see you in game, I WILL SHRED ALL OVER YOUR FACE.  That’s how I roll.

See you in May.  :)

If You Thought There’s No Way to Top This Year’s Crop of New Games…

You were right. Following reports of disappointing holiday sales, Electronic Arts announced cutbacks in their quarterly conference call on December 9th.

EA CEO John Riccitiello announced a ’3 prong’ attack in order to boost income in fiscal 2009 – less games, focus on games with strong online and ongoing content, and reducing expenses (i.e. laying people off).

Anyone who looked at the release calendar for Oct/Nov/Dec and didn’t see this coming needs their eyes checked. There is such a thing as too many games, and I think we saw it in quarter 4 of 2008.

Read Giant Bomb and Joystiq for more.

Atari, We’re Ready to Believe You

I remember spending hours on the old Commodore 64 version of Ghostbusters. Ecto 1 and the State Puff Marshmallow Man were staples on my computer. Now we can get ready to relive that glory. Today, Atari announced a June 2009 release date for the new Ghostbusters video game. This ties in with the 25th anniversary of the original release. It is billed as Ghostbusters 3 and is being written by Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis. They along with Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and some others have signed on for the voice acting. So start saving those pennies and get ready to bust some Ghosts.

Too Human Demo: Monday!

Whether or not you are excited about this game, the main question has been answered. When will we get a chance to play it for ourself? This monday according to Microsoft as a part of it’s bring E3 home series on Xbox Live. Silicon Knights president Dennis Dyack has created a whirlwind of controversy through his crusade to battle gaming forums and defend the negative previews that this game has received so far. If you enjoy Norse Mythology or enjoy insane amounts of character micro management, then this game might be for you. This is just a preview so gamers should give it a fair shake and not review the whole game based on the demo.

GRID Is Starting to Peak My Interest.

Anything involving games and Camaros will always have my attention and this new video for GRID is no different. I hadn’t really given much thought to getting this game because I am not extremely interested in racing games anymore. However, after I saw this video, I am really tempted to pick this up. I don’t like to consider myself a fanboy of any flavor but I am a Camaro fanboy. I’m not sure why but I just love Camaros.
