when the fuss about next gen was its height, i mentioned that i wasnt ready to let go of the current gen. i said this because i was really backed up with a lot of games from previous gen that i thought i wouldnt be envious at all with the graphics driven next gen.

that was up until i saw 3 games...nba 2k8,call of duty 4 and assasins creed. im a big sports fan and seeing 2k8 gave me a sense of hope that this generation of games was actually going to see ai that would actually be similar to the real life games. the animation is superb and the ai is catching up.i used to be an fps junkie (thanks counter-strike) but i was not big with action/sneaking around type games, but seeing the trailers, hearing the reviews and looking at what ive been missing out on...im kinda changing my tune. the games look awesome and the next gen games that have come out since the 360 launch has been impressive though i still think next gen was underwhelming. i think this is half the evolution that a next gen should have brought.

i still have plenty of games i have to finish but the biggest drawback is money. one thing is for sure though. i wont be buying any games unless i am as interested as i am with the games i just mentioned. not that im saying im going aaa exclusive here, but i cant pick it up just because i heard it was a good game, but it has to be a good game that i want to play. it eliminates the backlog of games i have accumulated in trying to experience all kinds of great games. it was affordable back then, but not now.

so heres to you next gen...ill be there soon enough...let me get my life together...
