Dates and progress.
My first book will officially launch in april 2010. My second book, wich i've completed back in september, has been sent to my editing house ( AdA inc. ) two weeks ago. As of my third book, i'm currently on my 81th page, wich is still the very begining.
That said, Dragon Age launches tomorow, I hope it'll carry the heavy weight of Baldur's Gate 2. Personnaly, I wouldn't have made that assumption, but BioWare did, so hey. Expectations got up to the roof. In a week, it'll be Modern Warfare 2 and one week later, my most anticipated '' holiday-time '' game, AC2.
Oddly enough, even with the new releases like Borderlands,Brutal Legend, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank, i'm STILL playing another playthrough of Arkham Asylum. I really can't shake off that game, it's just that good.

Dante's Inferno or Kratos' way-too-grotesque's Inferno?
I got to know this game simply because I loved Dead Space and was interested in the dev's new IP. At the begining, I thought it was cool, but now, i'm not so sure. Here's why :
The recent Greed video shows some God of War 1 / tapistry scenes where they portray the main hero as cruel soldier - exactly like Kratos. He's sent through hell to find redemption, while Kratos wanted to find forgiveness ( and vengeance ). They even went to say that the hero SEW a red cross onto his chest to remind himself of his sins ; just like Kratos' white ashed skin ; ashes from his familly.
Also, this looks like a carbon copy of God of War, but the very, very first game who copies god of war to 90% of its ideas. Camera work, the fighting, even the jumping animations are identical. Boss finishers also have the same slo-mo's during weapon hit.
Rip offs arent bad, but with Dante's Inferno, it's way too obvious that they literally copied god of war - wich is normal, its the greatest action adventure ever.
The other thing that bothers me is the grotesque side of the game. Usualy, violence and gore always have a nice fit when there's a nice '' artstyle '' behind it. Madworld's cartoon style is amazing, God of War's beautiful vistas and fearsome beasts are a delight.
Problem with Dante's Inferno is that there's no style, its just diving straight ahead into 100% grotesquerie. It's gross, it's sexual, it's covered in blood, vomit ( instestine monsters ) and some other fluids that are better left unnamed. The background of the levels arent great looking ; they're dark, gross and twisted ; but not in an artistic way.
I just find it difficult to find it appealing. God of War 1 and 2 are my favorite game series ever, and seriously, i'd take any games that looks like it, but Dante's Inferno kinda brings me into some mixed reaction ; the gameplay looks 100% identical, yet it's very unpleasing to look at.
Gross stuff are cool when to a certain extent ; when you're adding walking intestines, charred corpse trying to have sex and a main hero sewing cloth onto is bare skin, I find it hardto believe thatthe cute Jade Raymond-ish Visceral Gamesgirl seen in the videosto giggle in fanboyism in front of this.

Is that me or Comic-Con sounds bad?
It doesnt just seems like, super nerdish, its name sound stupid and they revealed about nothing on video games. Heck, it's a comic-related convention and it's plastered all over the web as something cool for games.
Anyways, just my two cents.
