Even with my unexpected departure a few months ago, I still experienced all of the new releases available, and with titles like Dante's Inferno, Darksiders, Dark Void, Army Of Two: The 40th Day, Heavy Rain, Aliens Vs Predator, Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2, 2010 is still a pretty disappointing year, so far. Let me start with Darksiders. The concept looked and sounded fantastic, you controlling War, battling fearsome foes descended on Planet Earth, but it just did not deliver. The poor graphics, poor story and annoying glitches disappointed me, and I'm sure it disappointed other gamers around the globe. Then games like Dark Void and Army Of Two: The 40th Day also disappointed, with nearly all aspects of those games failing, in terms of game play, graphics, story and re play value. It did get better, with solid releases like Dante's Inferno, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2 and Heavy Rain, but the rest seem pretty medea core, or pretty descent. This year hasn't been good, but there is plenty of titles to look forward too, especially God Of War III and Splinter Cell: Conviction. But yeah, I am pretty damn disappointed by this year so far, and I'm sure those poor games could have done better, even if they had to of been delayed, because I'd rather have a delayed game that I would have been waiting for for a few years than a rushed game that just didn't succeed my expectations. Hopefully, later this year, we can all get a grip, and enjoy well made games, and excite our selves over 2011, possibly the biggest rumoured game titled year ever. Let's just hope it starts off better than 2010.

Despite my disappointed view of this year's games, my arrival back at Gamespot has made me a bit happier again. Seeing all of my old friends, writing reviews and participating in forum discussions is my idea of Internet heaven. But, that isn't the only reason my year has been going great. I bought a Playstation Portable again, after a big discussion with my self I decided to purchase the 3000 bundle with Little Big Planet and Gran Turismo, and I went out a bought a box load of games to go with it (check out my games lists to the left of my page). I missed it, I admit it, and without a hand held console, your life isn't worth living. But that's all for today, tomorrow though, I'm planning to do one of my awards countdown, which I used to always do. It may be game related, but who knows, it may be film related, I'll surprise you!
