To kick things off I thought I would fix Robert’s "last post about games to look forward to in 2010" as that list paints a dim picture for those of us that don't recreationally flail our limbs around in the lounge. Why? Well, two of the games on that list are Wii games. Are you mental? What is your problem? And the two 360/PS3 titles that are mentioned are both new themes on old fairly recent games. “Alpha Protocol” – “Mass Effect”. “Red Dead Redemption” – “Brokeback Mountain – The Game”. So I have decided to try and fix that, here goes:
Lost Planet 2
While I never played much of the first one, it definitely touched a nerve with some people and the second looks to go above and beyond anything Capcom dreamt of achieving with the first. Lost Planet 2 looks to draw a new line in the sand as far as co-op gaming goes with four player story mode; being a massive couch co-op fan, I just can't wait.
Fable III
Lionhead are absolutely fantastic at winding up expectations and failing miserably to deliver on them, but every time they get back up and dare to dream all over again. Bless ‘em. And every time I'm there to offer my £40. Maybe I’m a sucker but when Pete says to me (yeah you read that right, to me) that in ‘Fable III’ you can “touch” I don’t say “oh yeah Pete? you mean press Y to interact?” I say: Wow! Why? Because at least it seems like he is trying to achieve something greater than more frames per second. Is he just an excitable salesman? Maybe. But I’m sold.
I like your style Chris, looking forward to reading more of your contributions.

ReplyDeleteHah! I'm bloody getting it, regardless.
I'm looking forward to Super Mario Galaxy 2 over Fable 3; it's more likely that if I don't buy SMG2 immediately, it'll go up in price as it grows old, rather than down - such is the way with official Nintendo games.
I tend to get absorbed by the Molyneux, too. But, I won't let myself this time. Maybe I'll peek at the game. Maybe. Next time you're talking to Pete, can you ask him to give me a job?
