I wrapped up the Gears of War 2 campaign earlier this week. Not to delve into too many details, but Epic Games knows how to make their games shine. I’ll get down to jotting down my thoughts on it a bit later. Meanwhile, you can read up on Resistance 2.
Fallout 3 is still lingering in the shadows; not sure when I will get to that.
As crazy as it sounds, I don’t feel the urge even open the game. There’s still a lot more Gears of War 2 to play and the same goes with Resistance 2. And what about this LittleBigPlanet?! Especially when folks make something like this. Yeah, that game needs love too. I also haven’t mentioned the two PlayStation 2 titles I have waiting in the wings as well.
The res of the year looks relatively calm, but with huge February rush looming overhead — we don’t have much time for dawdling. There is time, however, for a good read. It’s not everyday that you have a Gears of War article from the New York Times.
Fallout 3 is debuting in just two short days. If you’re like me and haven’t played any of these PC classics, perhaps you should give this GameTrailers retrospective a watch. It’s self contained and will only take you a short 15 minutes to catch up.
Fallout 3 and Fable II were leaked early last week and now Epic Games’ Gears of War 2 joins that prestigious list. Some are pointing the finger at bad apples over at the distribution factories and some are saying that these releases are from corrupt reviewers. Whatever the case maybe, I am jealous of the folks who get to play these games weeks before they launch.
I wonder if Microsoft is going to do anything about the folks who’ve played these games early. If these rapscallions are dimwitted enough to use their own Gamercard to play, Microsoft can technically ban their accounts. I’ll let you all know if I see anything.
Here they are. Twelve screenshots from this month’s Fallout 3. Somehow I missed them, but it wasn’t a major loss. It’s just screens of a post apocalyptic wasteland which I’ll be spending hours wandering through.
Straight from Bethesda comes a handful of gameplay videos from Fallout 3. I’m excited. I didn’t enjoy Oblivion’s fantasy style nor its horrendously ugly characters, but Fallout 3 seemed to have addressed those issues. The character interaction is a bit stiff and I definitely wished there was some voice work to what your player is saying, but as a whole: I’m liking what I’m seeing.
Head over to Bethesda’s Youtube page and watch them. Make sure it’s the high quality version.
Here are three screenshots from Fallout 3. They’re for the Games Convention event, but if you told me they were from E3 2008, I would have believed you as well.
What a day it’s been. That Microsoft press conference was quite the bore up until the very end when “shit got real”. Anyways, for those who don’t have the time to scour the net for all the juicy footage and essential info, I did it all for you. Enjoy.
Trust me, this list is a lot more exciting than having it slowly revealed to you.
