Holy crap!! E3 starts tomorrow!

It wasn't until I woke up this morning that I realized that E3 08 was REALLY starting tomorrow, and already people are definitely feeling its effects everywhere. As for me there are games both old and new that keep on piling up that either need to be finished or started, or re-refinished.

E3 as always, makes me feel like a kid in a candy store and this year will be no exception to that rule. With so many games on the horizon and especially one that has peaked my interest recently...Fallout 3. As one of the two people on earth who have not played this game's past iterations it seems very appealing to me to want to know exactly what all of the petitions and the crazy talk is all about. But anyway that's just one of the things that's got me riled up for this year. As usual always wish I could have been to the past E3's when the public was invited but LA is a really long way from Montreal...and money wise the funds don't allow me.

So here are my top ten most anticipated games for E3 08:

10 - Fallout 3

Simply because I know little to nothing about the series.

9 - Fables 2

Not having played the first...I think the dog has me sold.

8 - Little Big Planet

oooooo sombreros.

7 - Mirror's Edge

If this game uses anything like the art in the latest trailer then this could prove to be something very interesting and unique.

6 - Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

I just can't friggin wait for this game...the first one was AWESOME!

5 - Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

The greatest RTS game that I've ever played.

4 - Tom Clancy's EndWar

I've always wanted to play Risk heheheh....

3 - Spore

I can't even remember why I'm this excited for this game anymore....but HELL YEA!!

2 - Chrono Trigger DS

Finally! Nintendo doing something else than milking the same franchises to death.

1 - Too Human

Diablo on crack! I've been getting riled up for this one since this dude at my job couldn't stop talking about it. But after seeing its track record (apparently this was supposed to be released on the PS1 at one point) I'm not getting eliminating the possibility that this game might be pushed back. But this game looks like it's going to be incredible and I hope that there ARE going to be other environments other than the same dark cave like place that I've seen in every gameplay trailer that they've cranked out.

So yeah, E3 is coming and by the time you read this, it's probably going to be 2 in the morning...

Keeping busy in NYC!
FINALLY on vacation...and in no better place than New York city. Its been about 5 years since I last took a real vacation so this is definitly deserved. Even on vacation I can't not play video games...just before I left MTL I picked up Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP. And I have to say this game is addictive...it was the only thing that made the bus ride down not noticable. The ride took an incredible 11 hours! Usually this ride would take at most 8 hours, but for some reason it seemed that the driver kept getting lost on the highway. Every sign that pointed towards NYC the dude took the opposite direction. Maybe it was the route that he was to take but to steer away from the city at least three times, I highly dought that he was on his regular route. But anyways...look for a lengthy post about my time with MGS4 and the hell that I went through to get the PS3 bundle just for the game. Review for MGS4 coming in the next three weeks so look for that as well.
