So although I am a bit late with my first new years blog I have decided to compile a list of the top ten confirmed things about 2008 I really am looking forward to.
10) My 16th Birthday:
Why is this in my top ten? Because as soon as you reach this age you get a say in how the goverment shapes the world, you can get a job, own property, the ability totake part in most of gamespotUKs competitionsand some other things I would rather leave off my blog due to thehigh embarassment factor ;)
9) Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull:
Not something I reveal as a series I like, hell I don't even own any of them on VHS or DVD, but I absolutely love all theindiana jones movies. And with all hopes this sequelwill not get the phantom menace treatment. The story seems to be quite promising, if a bit of a mix of the previous three's storylines and seeing an old Harrison Ford doing what most Grandpa's can only dream of doing would be something that would get my ticket fee quicker than you could say Crystal Skull.
8 ) Force Unleashed on the PS2:
Graphically it will be slaughtered by its younger siblings but the gameplay will be very similar to the versions with the extra coat of paintand due to the slow decline of PS2 on the shelves it will be incredibly cheap. As a huge Star Wars fan the story also means a lot to me and playing Darth Vader's secret aprrentice (or force sensative slave, its never been officially announced you play his apprentice only assumed) hunting down jedi and slaughtering stormtroopers has great appeal.
7)Work on Metal Gear movie will start:
The release date has been slated for a 2009 release and to stay on schedule the movie must start work this year.So whats it about? Most rumours say it will be a faithfull adaptation to MGS1 on the PSX but I like to believe it will be based on the original metal gear or metal gear solid 3. I am also praying that Harry Gregson Williams is on the soundtrack as his soundtracks for the games are phenomenol.
6)Cloverfield:
I have not been one of those nuts that keep coming up with crackpot theories that are just so stupid its a wonder why I didn't come up with them first but I have been following the movies progress ever since I first saw the trailer. I can't really find details on story but what I can say is Blair witch meets godzilla? Sign me up!
