Why are so many games coming out now?

October 31st, 2006

Ok, so last week I was bemoaning the sudden influx of games coming up. And I know I was slightly worried about the high concentration of RPG’s. Well, things have changed. Some of the games have dropped off the radar, but new ones have sprung up. I figured I’d give some kind of update for the gamers who read this: Read more…

Too Many Video Games?

October 23rd, 2006

I never thought I’d reach a time when I’d have too many games to play/finish. Nor did I ever expect to look at a list of released games coming up and think, “I’m doomed.” Then I saw this. I saw that and noticed I had two games on the list. Now both are fairly short, but I’m also stacking up RPG’s, which is never a good sign. With Children of Mana coming out next week, and Final Fantasy 3 shortly after that, I’m definitely going to be in for it.

Hmm…I’m definitely seeing the holidays as a good chance to catch up on my DS gaming. Yeah, the 360 is going to have to be staying home.

Another RPG? I’m doomed.

September 20th, 2006

I just saw this on Xbox360Fanboy.com. It is safe to say that I am so doomed. It seems that RPG’s are definitely going to be in large supply for the XBox 360. Sweet.

Two in one day? This may be too much.

I’ve gone from “Crushing” to “Obsessed”

Remember this?

Well, I’ve gone from crushing to full on obsession. I saw the following in high res from another site. (linked to another)

Um…damn. I’m now crazy psyched.

Big Video Game Update

September 19th, 2006

So a lot of video game stuff to talk about so we’re gonna do it all at once.

First things, I picked up Mega Man ZX for the DS last week. So far, I’ve only been playing it for a couple of days (I’ve reserved it to mainly commute playing), but I really like it. I haven’t played a Mega Man game in a long time, but I definitely like the feel of this one.

Second up, I’m about 40% of the way through Enchanged Arms and I am really enjoying the game. It’s definitely a good RPG with which to get back into the genre, although the writing, as many reviews have stated, leaves a bit to be desired. Overall, it’s a really good game. I think a lot of the reviews don’t do it justice, but that’s just my opinion.

I’ve also been playing a lot of NCAA Football 2007; especially when Dan comes over. It is lacking a bit of polish, but it’s solid and really good for the first version on the XBox 360.

Finally, the big one, I’ve already pre-ordered a Nintendo Wii last week. A buddy of mine saw that Amazon was taking pre-orders and I jumped all over it. Apparently I got in at a good time, because Amazon sold out of their pre-orders in a day. Hopefully I’ll get one on the first day, but we’ll have to say.

So yeah, a lot of video game playing, which is funny given the amount of time I’ve spent also getting fit. Guess I just have good balance.
