I got Mass Effect 2 this morning and so far it’s as good a I’d hoped. I’m pissed I’m working such long shifts tomorrow and Sunday and really looking forward to sitting down to play it properly on Tuesday.
E3 starts tomorrow! It’s a gaming expo in LA where the big three games companies (Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo) reveal their plans and game releases for the next year. Basically it’s a pissing contest to make you buy their console. But as a gamer it’s the best time of year because you get to see all the awesome games coming your way.
Today is Microsofts conference and tomorrow Nintendo and Sony step up to the plate. Rumours I’m hoping to be confirmed by MS are:
-The motion camera thing. Hopefully it’ll come with some kind of fitness game too that will be better than Wii Fit.
- Forza 3. Loved 2 and the 360 needs a good exclusive racing game now that the PGR series is gone.
- Alan Wake gets a release date. This game has been in development since the 360 was announced and really needs to either get released or cancelled. Preferably released.
- Metal Gear Solid 4 for 360. I don’t see this happening but it’d be a great snub to PS3 fanboys.
- The next exclusive GTA4 dlc was already revealed as being the Ballad of Gay Tony but I’d like to see some screens and get some info on it.
- New IP from Fable developers Lionhead. Fable rocks so I’d love to see what these guys have to bring.
- Square Enix classics on XBLA. I dunno if this would happen but it’d be another blow to Sony who have typically been the only place to see SQuenix titles.
Demos, demos, demos. I wanna see some Mass Effect 2, Halo: ODST, Max Payne 3, Splinter Cell 5.
I think EA and Ubisoft are also holding their conferences today so it’ll be lovely to see what they have to show.
The more I see of this game, the more I lust for it. I really hope it’s getting released sooner rather than later. And preferably on 360/PC only thanks BioWare.
One of my most anticipated games for the 360 is the sequel to one of it’s best. Mass Effect 2. Even though it’s now linked to EA I still have high hopes for it.
Oh, and Commander Sheperd better not be dead you fucking bitches. He was teh seks.
