People do nothing on Gamespot for a long, long time. I am one of those people.

In this day and age, more and more people are passing graphics off for game-play. Well, I ain't one of those people. Hell, I can still sit around for hours playing Super Mario Bros. (if i still had it.) And I do play Mario Kart64 a lot some-days. I mean looking at games like Crysis, where it really does LOOK real, I feel intimidated. Mostly because my PC isn't going to be able to take it. DX10 features now. Smoke that moves like smoke should, shadows of clouds, rag-doll physics. They are all beautiful. But they DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT replace game-play. Sit me down in front of Halo: Combat Evolved or even Age of Empires, and I can still have hours of enjoyment. Remember back in the day when games just had death sequences, your body would do certain things when certain things happened to it. Well, say good-bye to them. Codename: Panzers Cold War has done away with those. Even Company of Heroes graphics' are starting to look a little aged. Games are no longer games, but windows. Windows that are clean, not clouded with dirt, or in our case, pixels. And forward we march, into this future. Let us just hope that they will not consume us. Making us mindless. I hope all of you continue to have lives, don't lose your head when you start to play Mass Effect and the graphics make you cry with joy. Look up at the stars and see the real thing. Because I sure as hell would rather go to Venezuela than play Mercenaries 2.

Good-bye everyone. And rememeber. Even though Xbox Live is more addicting that crack, stop and think for awhile. Hell, if you have to, think about the processes that make playing online possible. Just don't lose it.

This game looks awful. I loved the first two. They are an acquired taste, I guess, but I did. It was pretty historically accurate and was the game that got me into RTS games.

But the new one, oh God.... Despite the fact that it only got a 3.5 rating, I just want to try it, just to see. They made the graphics look like total **** The men don't look like men anymore, they look like cartoons. And only 3 main regions! WTF!!! Come on, make your free throws. All they needed to do was upgrade the graphics, throw in some new game-play features, and it would be fine, but no. They just **** up, big time.

Oh well, World in Conflict and Company of Heroes will fill the void. And I won't be too sorry.

Well everyone, its now in its prime and raring to go. The big hitters have already made their mark and now the lesser known games are starting to pop up. Of course, it is hard for games like Mass Effect to compete with the juggernauts of Halo 3, World in Conflict, and Call of Duty 4. But they are here and ready to fight. Halo 3, of course, defined this season, heck, maybe even these last years of the decade, and any game that came out remotely close was just over shadowed. Poor World in Conflict, which I view to be a better game, came out just ten measly days before H3, and was almost forgotten about. Not many people will be staying up all night waiting for Assassin's Creed now will they? No, no they won't. But who has really come out worse in the end? Well, that prize goes to Sony. Microsoft and Nintendo blew 'em out of the water. Oh well, its eat or be eaten out here in the gaming world. PC gamers have been getting a lot lately too. Gears for the PC? With an all new campaign! That nearly made me buy it. But, I am content with my good ol' Xbox 360. Some games are making a nose dive though. Empire Earth 2 was one of my favorite games a few years back. Now I think the sequel is on the road to ruining the franchise. But we can't forget about Guitar Hero! Wonderful games, the first two, and the third one was no disapointment. Only problem, why did the pick The Number of the Beast for their Iron Maiden song? I am a hard-core Maiden fan and I know they could've picked better.

Well everyone, that is my summary of this year's gaming season. All it does is leave me wanting more. Halo Wars next year! And hopefully a lot more. See you on the other side!!

In case your wondering the picture at the top is of Bigfoot and Wildboy, a hilarious TV show from the 70's. It isn't supposed to be funny its just so bad its good. Yeah, I also watch the Simpsons and Cheap Seats a lot. In case you don't know Cheap Seats is a show on ESPN Classic that makes fun of old crap they used to show on ESPN and other shows. Their motto is "taking a new look at the old games." It is hilarious.
