What can be said about a game that has already been hyped beyond belief... besides I can't freaking wait! The feeling of opening something new, the smell and fresh touch of the materials. Plugging the gizmo in, turning on the new toy, seeing those beginning momments never disappoint. Its like Christmas every year... no matter how many times you skimper towards that tree, the joy of opening presents awaits. Even horror movies have a never ending effect that never bores... you know whats about to happen, but you watch and await.
Mass Effect videos are popping up all over the web from one of the recent game conventions and man O man do I want to punch myself in the junk every time I click on one. It doesn't bother me spoiling the small joys I could experience for a first time by watching gameplay footage or bits of story unfold. What eats me up is wanting to pick up the controller and explore the world how I see fit. Most people who play demo's or display games for the public in my opinion SUCK!
All I want is to see how well that magic spell works, not some creep who gets lost in his own inventory screen. It may seem like a lot to ask for some joker online who does nothing but wait for others to labor and entertain him... but for the love of gaming gods please don't play like a person who never picked up a gaming controller when supposely "showing off" a game :roll:
All minor complaints aside, I got cool drinks in the fridge and sunday night football on the TV. Can't go wrong with that combo. I thought I would be at work tonight tryin to get an early jump on the week, but apparently my pressence was not needed. I wouldn't mind making some money, but every once in awhile it seems right to just kick back and chill.
Hopefully nothing dramatic erupts in the next few weeks because I'm on such a solid budget right now, life actually feels care free. With so many games on the way and people making outrageous lists on top of lists about what they want or need, I figure a wishlist of my own couldn't hurt none 8)
Mass Effect
Obvious favorite among my soon to be cheerished games. Some would say its gonna be just another sci-fi adventure, others feel is like a coming of Christ. I'm neither, I just feel a lot of games for the 360 don't seem appropriately priced at 60 bucks a pop, and this one seems to be afull package.
Kane and Lynch
Hitman is a dear favorite series that felt just right in the last game. Taking the guys who made that 3rd person adventure and tossing out the whole sneak factor seems very appealing to me. I'm sure the controls will be easy to pick up and gameplay will be as complex as the player desires. What I'm interested in most is the squad mechanics and Ai. Stuff like that can really make or break a game for me, fingers crossed.
Assassins Creed
All hush hush about the sci-fi-ish sandbox world of middle aged Jerusalem, people kind of don't care until the game nears release. I love sandbox games, and something about the controls really has me excited and nervous in one fatal swoop. Contextual gameplay can be either terrible or wonderful and that has yet to be seen, so in the mean time I'll excuse the story if it lasts for nothing more than a weekend. I want solid controls!
Half-Life 2:Orange Box
Nobody can sway me from this juicy morsel, I am stoked! Not only will I be able to continue the adventure on PC, but I can really spoil myself by scooping up the 360 version and gaining achievements reliving a great sequel. Don't forget TF2 or that zaney Portal game all for a solid price from a quality company... can you say awesome?
Heroes season 1 DVD
The nerd has spoken. I really enjoyed this show when it had its glory, so depending on the price of this package I'll debate its worthiness. Hopefully there will be enough extra stuff to make up for the shallow parts within the season.
I sure hope my funds continue on this quiet path of loveliness. I usually purchase what I want and there is a lot of junk I really want :P
