I know that it's not really summer yet, but I'm out of college for the year now and so I've decided to post the games I'm going to have the chance to play through a few more times and the new titles I intend to pick up :D
Replays
Bayonetta:
I just can't get enough of blasting through masses of violent angels and then chewing them to death with my amazing hair-dog. I've currently finished the game on hard mode and, before moving up, I'm going to get al Platinum Awards in normal and see if I unlock anything new in the shop for it. I see myself going through this game at least three more times.
Vanquish:
Rocket-sliding and shooting my way through fast-paced, frenetic fights against robots and actual bosses is worthy of a few more rounds. I still have to get through God Hard and the final few acheviments I need in specific missions, then I'll probably put this title to rest.
Dead Rising 2:
I never realized how much work I still had to do in this game before. I also never played it by myself, before. And, like all othter things ;), it's best when I do it alone. I want to make lots of money, kill lots of zombies and finally get Chuck out of that damn casino/mall thing alive!
New Games
L.A Noire:
I've always loved adventure games and solving crimes in this cIassic and cIassy styIe is an experience I just can't wait to immerse myself in. I already have the game pre-ordered with release date delivery and I hope Amazon does what they did for me with Gears 2 and send it a day early :D
Deadly Premonition:
I love wacky stories and fantastic characters and I've been hearing nonstop that Deadly Premonition has all of that and, with its current price and the ten dollars off I've gotten from pre-ordering L.A Noire, I'll be getting it for cheap and I can't wait to explore the story and crazy horror for myself.
Shadows of the Damned:
No More Heroes and Resident Evil 4 are two of my favorite games of all time and this title is the biggest game of the year, in my mind; I also have it pre-ordered. There's nothing about this game—the humor, the gunplay, anything—that I'm not excited for and that's all I can really think to say about it. I'm sure that at this time next year, Shadows of the Damned will be reappearing in the Replay section of this list.
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon:
This was orginally Mortal Kombat, so I could fill that nostalgiac hole in my heart for days of Sega Genisis fighting, but then I realized that I don't really care for fighting games and (I'm sure this is obvious given my other selectiions) my tastes would be much more satisfied with a zany Japanese shooter. So killing giant bugs in the future is where I shall go and I'm sure I'll enjoy every destructive and outrageous second ot it!
So, that's going to be my summer :) Be sure to post your own replays and new games for the next four months!
