After a few months of plowing through various games, I've been drifting back and forth between various games. I did manage to complete Assault Heroes for XBLA during that time but that's about it that I can remember. FYI, Assault Heroes, an okay game. Fun shooter but paced a bit sluggishly. So rather than writing about what I've been playing, I'm just going to write about what I plan on playing.
Details about the upcoming prequel in the God of War series have surfaced and chief among them is the inclusion of multiplayer. A full description of this new addition to the series can be read here. I had a feeling that this might happen and I know it makes sense from a business perspective but I just have to ask the question: do we need multiplayer in a God of War game?
G4 posted this on their feed and it's nothing short of awesome. It seems like there's more to look at as well. Without further adu, a parody of Beyoncé's If I Were A Boy - "If I Were A Core"
Last Wednesday, I noticed an unusual bombardment of the evils of the world and the negativity that infests our daily lives. The world is by no means perfect but we all are relatively desensitized in order to handle the usual problems we deal with everyday and the bad news constantly at the top of the docket in the news. However, with the news of a person who used Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to train for mass-murder, the sad news of Adam Sessler leaving G4 and my fellow PixlBit writer Angelo Grant feeling that IGN is bad for gamers (along with other non video game related things like my friend complaining about the lack of diversity in television with me over Facebook), I had to take a step back and do something positive because I had by this point became rather glum and depressed. To quote one of my own tweets, "Need some positivity right now. Listening to my 70s Summer Breeze mix while writing some video game announcement news." That was no mistake either. I purposely chose to write up the Uncharted 3 GOTY and Resistance trilogy story because those were positive stories. Also, listening to America, Seals and Crofts and Ambrosia will always mellow you out.
First and foremost, no, this isnt a count down of what I think are the "Hits" of this year, but rather a list of games that I have not completed that I want to over the course of the year. Its a daunting list, but I think that I'll be able to chop off some games from my seriously large backlog. Lets get started:
OK, first, everybody expecting and uninformed rant, go somewhere else. This isn’t a twitter account or a facebook blasting, this is a legitimate beef I have with how IGN conducts business, and why I strongly feel their continued popularity is extremely bad for gamers and other games journalists. I’m not going to close this thing by calling for a boycott, or slam people for going to that website, I just want you to consider the reasons I have for no longer supporting IGN like I used to.
And at last we come to the end of my Future of Video Games blog series that comes from the past. If you have gotten this far I applaud you! You are now armed with the knowledge to partake in the next episode of PixlTalk, hosted by yours truly and the rest of the Tri-Force crew, Patrick and Rob.
"Cat Face, he's got a big cat's face. He's got the body of a cat, and the face of a cat, and he flies through the air 'cause he's got a cat face. Cat Face!"
And here we are at part four of my Future of Video Games blog series, written in 2011. You know the drill by now, because you’ve been reading these all week, right? RIGHT?? Anyway, this is going to tie in to the next Tri-Force hosted edition of PixlTalk, so read up and join in the discussion next episode!
