The Games to Watch For in 08 and 09!!
Garbage games come & go in the world of gaming (and are even hyped up), but great games are always a hard thing to come by. However, we're reaching a pretty fine season of good games on the horizon (and plenty of bad ones, so don't worry about that). Now here I am, self-proclaimed Gaming Guru Extraordinaire... here to help you on what to pick and what not to pick in this summer edition of Games To Look Out For. Definitely Don't Avoid: Ninja Gaiden II Have you ever played the first one? Thought it was too hard? Fucking pussy, you're a mess of a gamer. That's where NG2 comes in. This game is going to totally kick ass AND pussies can still play it on the Easier difficulties! Now the losers of gaming can embellish in the many joys of dismembering body parts and being a 105% complete bad ass. With sweet downloadable costumes, and other DLC... what is NGII not going to have? Besides a hand that jerks you off while you play while tickling your asshole? I can't imagine... it's the follow up to one of my greatest games ever made list, enough said. Release Date: June 4th DEFINITELY AVOID: Hulk Sorry Hulk, but you have to bear the burden of a movie licensed game, and that automatically puts you on my SHIT LIST. Now, don't get me wrong, I believe this game will be fun and entertaining. How can it not be? Going around destroying things in an open world? Never done that before. No, seriously though... I'd pay like twenty bucks for it, but sixty? Come on. Get real! Buy this when the price drops (and believe me that will happen quick). I don't doubt this game won't get bad reviews, per-say, but I know it will just be one of those games that you play... beat... do a little extra... then sell in a weeks time. Pretty much any Marvel game you've ever played. Avoid Hulk! Wait a few months for it, then pick it up cheap or rent it. Plus it's coming out the same day as Gaiden II, so what the hell would you be picking up anything else for anyway? Release Date: June 4th Definitely Don't Avoid: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Yep, finally... all the PS3 boys have an exclusive they can call their own. A real reason to own their hefty twenty-five pound system. Hell, even I want one for this game. After getting garbage exclusives like Lair, and Haze... there's finally something to rejoice for. Finally, a reason for having a PS3 (Minus NG:Sigma of course)! If you want to get the most out of your PS3, you're going to want to buy this the day of release, because if it ever becomes multi-platform your PS3 will once again collect dust and lose any value it ever had (until FF13...I hope). Not to mention the game is going to be fucking sweet. Release Date: June 12th Definitely AVOID: Bourne Conspiracy Again, movie based, and apparently the shooting mechanics aren't that good and when the majority of the gameplay is shooting, it doesn't sound to me like it will add up. I love Bourne, but I won't be buying this until I can get it for 20-30 bucks, tops. Plus I'm sure it's going to be another short, uninspired movie game just like the rest of them. Worth picking up in the bargain bin on a rainy day though. Plus it's coming out the day of NGII. Fuck you going to get this for? Idiot! Release Date: June 4th Definitely Don't Avoid: Final Fantasy IV DS Why? Fucking hell man, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure this out. Greatest RPG ever made + new graphics + new story and dungeons + enhanced music = Greatest RPG ever made +3. Magical Enhancement bonuses STACK too. Totally not an opinion either, fact. Period, the end. BUY THIS GAME!!!! Release Date: July 22nd Definitely Avoid: Wall-E The Game C'mon. Movie looks cute, but a game? I don't have to tell you twice! Release Date: June 24th Other Games to Highly Consider Not Avoiding (but they'll get their full coverage when their times come): Star Wars Force Unleashed (September 16th) Prince of Persia (Q4 08) Resident Evil 5 (March 09!) Other Games to Consider Avoiding: Just about everything else. The summer of 08 looks like it's going to be a good time to be a gamer, without a doubt! Games on the horizon!
