The rest of the year laid bare
Posted by bendz666 on July 26, 2008
So, today I’ve worked out what I’m buying for the rest of the year… there’s a scary amount of quality games coming out and hence I’ve had to be realistic.
Firstly though, let’s get this irrelevant stuff out of the way. By this, of course, i mean Nintendo. In the gif, please consider hardcore gamers on the right, and Nintendo on the left .
Seriously… It’s gotten to the point now where if no gamer ever bought a Nintendo ‘game’ ever again, Nintendo wouldn’t notice the difference in their sales.
I don’t even know what they showed at E3… that would’ve been unthinkable a few years ago.
This year then… The following will be floating my boat;
- July 31st – Pixel Junk Eden
- ‘Soon’ – Ratchet and Clank: Q4B
- 26/09/2008 – Mirror’s Edge
- Q4 – LittleBigPlanet
- Q4 – BioShock
- Q4 – Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
- November – Resistance 2
- 07/11/2008 – Prince of Persia
- When it stops giving people seizures – Wipeout HD
- If Kaz Hirai is happy – Home
That, my friends, is the rest of the year wrapped up VERY nicely! You should seek out the latest Prince of Persia next-gen footage – it’s absolutely STUNNING. Imagine Assasin’s Creed remade by Studio Ghibli, crossed with Jet Set Radio and the Metroid/Zelda explore -> gain ability -> re-explore ethic.
Basically: DO WANT.
