You know there's something big going on when I start writing in a blog. I guess all the recent excitement has made me want to talk about it, even if it's just with myself, and anyone who bothers to read. So let's review: first up, Mass Effect, my personal obsession of the titles upcoming is slated for release "sometime this summer." Whatever. So long as it plays a phenomenally as it looks, I'll wait three more years if I must.

Then, next fall, the inundation of awesome: Assassin's Creed, released November, which most of my friends are obsessed over, (myself as well, though Mass Effect will always be my first love). If I even have to tell you why this alone is cause for excitement, just go it's sectionon gamespot and try not to geekasm to heavily. Coming right along on Creed's coattails is a game few will probably know: Obscure 2. The first Obscure is, hand's down, the best survival horror game I've ever played. If you want my thoughts on it, just check out its player review section. Needless to say, when I found th trailer for it's sequel, I was totally psyched.

Coming fall as well is everyone's favorite scare the poop out of you horrorfest, Bioshock, which looks to be the game that'll do everything Doom 3 kind of did. We may even get Splinter Cell Conviction in the mix, which would just about make '07 the greatest year in gaming...ever. I rarely if ever use that word seriously, but this has the potential. Barring the creation of virtual reality, this fall/winter has the largest cluster of great titles I've ever seen, and all of these games seem to indicate companies finally using these next-gen consoles to their fullest potential. And far off in the horizon, the titans of Starcraft 2 and Fallout 3 loom temptingly. Needless to say, '07's going to be an eventfull year to say the least. Until next time. Peace!
