With the announcement of E3 being downsized a while back a lot of people who no real reason seemed to be getting upset; you just have to look at the facts to see it’s a very good decision. Most people wouldn't of been able go to E3 anyway so why they are complaining is beyond me, “but it’s the biggest spectacle for gaming." All these reasons were covered by the initial reports, the size of E3 is no longer necessary. Its purpose was to draw attention to the gaming industry back when it was small and no one really cared. These days things have changed lots of people are aware of the gaming industry, coupled with more gaming shops and controversy in the paper the industry will probably become self supporting, with the help of sites like GameSpot freely dispensing such information. Anyway E3 is no longer necessary, at least now the games companies can spend their time creating their games, rather than creating elaborate CGI movies which just disillusion gamers every year and cause so many arguments online.

Recently I came to discover a game called Battlefield 2142. I know this isn’t exactly the most recent news to come from the game industry but this game really interests me. Currently I don’t play a lot of PC games at home, that’ll probably change when I go to Uni, since I’ll be getting a desktop PC to do my work on, I might as well as add some thing interesting to the system and currently this is top of the contenders. From here I will probably make my first voyage into online gaming (coupled maybe with Xbox live) since I haven’t really been able in the past. I am aware of such games of Battlefield 2: modern combat (or whatever it was called) I played a demo of it on the Xbox, and from what I played it was highly enjoyable but not much point getting it as I would only play offline, pretty pointless for a game where its make purpose is to be played online. Battlefield 2142 seems to capture everything I liked from BF2 and built upon, titan mode especially, can’t wait to play this game.

Still playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, just past the 32 hour point in my new save, completed the arena and the Dark brotherhood quest lines, just started the fighters guild, still near the beginning of the thieves guild (getting my sneak skill high: currently at 88 ) and I’ve getting near the end of the mages guild. I haven’t even begun to look at the main quest line, which is quite ridiculous since my level is 20, which is just going to make it surprisingly difficult when trying to battle Daedra. I blame the amount of side quests which keep distracting me, curse my good nature and need to help everyone…
