My Post E3 top ten most anticipated games.

Leave a reply

Sure there is still two days left of E3 and there is the possibilty of more announcements, but the big three have made their announcements and most everything that’s coming soon is known to us.
I’m excited to see how Microsoft’s Project Natal works and when it will actually come out, but until then here’s what really matters, my ten most wanted games(that haven’t come out yet)
I’m surprised at how many are for Wii, perhaps, i’ll finally be able to dust it off and play something on it.

#1 New Super Mario Bros Wii!
Easily this was my favorite game on the Nintendo DS and I longed for a sequel. Add in four player co-op, and the ability to view those bright happy colors on the big screen and I’m sold. First Day Purchase.

#2 Muramasa The Demon Blade Wii
From the makers of Odin Sphere, Vanilla Ware a beautiful 2-d hack n slash. Of course!

#3 Marvel Versus Capcom 2 Xbox 360 Arcade.
I actually dusted this off on my Dreamcast the other day and it still is so much fun. I can’t wait to take my team of Morrigan, Ryu and Spiderman and kick your butt online!

#4 Wii Sports Resort
The first Wii Sports sold you on the Wii’s potential. This one looks just as fun and you get the wii motion plus as well.

#5 Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360
Heck yeah. I loved the first game, and although I’m not a fan of Sandbox games, I want this to be good so bad. I want to live in Deadwood after all.

#6 Final Fantasy 13 Xbox360
Yep. Awesome.

#7 Call of Duty Modern Warfare #2 Xbox360
I can’t believe this is in my list, but my brother has got me hooked and this just looks like a multiplayer haven.

#8 Capcom Versus Tastunuko Wii
Two versus games in one year. I actually played this a year ago on an import wii, and I still have trouble believing the Wii’s processor can move that fast.
I think all my teams will have viewtiful Joe in them.

#9 Little Big Planet PSP
Since I won’t be getting a PS3 anytime soon, this is about as close to Little Big Planet as I can get.

#10 Metroid : The Other M. Wii.
This was the shock of the show to me. Team Ninja working with Nintendo? I’ll be interested to see how it works, and hey it’s Metroid!

Just outside the list.
Lost Planet 2, Bioshock 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, (yeah sequels :<) System Count. Wii 5 360 4 PSP 1

Bioshock’s Big Daddy.

Leave a reply


I love Bioshock. It is quite possibly my favorite game of this generation being in close contention with Gears of War. The eerie feeling in the game is always heightened when the big daddy’s come charging around the corner. This is my interpretation of them. Of course I made them a lot more colorful because that’s what I do. Etsy

1up guys comes back with Area5.tv

Leave a reply

So I think everyone knows I have a thing for videogames. One of the many casualties in this years economy was that site UGO bought Egm/1up and decided they did not need 1 a magazine and two the 1up show. For me the 1up show was a great way to get a dose of gamers, talking about games. And I can’t be happier that the guys who made that show have formed their own site and have already released there first show over at
Area 5 I’l be keeping an eye on their progress.

Gaming for old geeks.

Haven’t really felt like playing much of anything lately. But when I do it’s usually Geometry Wars 2 or Castle Crashers. Simple little games that don’t require a lot of thought or energy. I suspect that to change considerably when Gears 2 comes out this fall, but for now I think I’m happy in 8-bit land. Speaking of which Mega Man 9 comes out for the 360 this week. Thought about downloading it for the Wii, but space issues and lack of achievements did it in for me. It’s nice to have these downloadable games that most of the gaming public is oblivious too, but are perfect for the hardened grumpy old side-scrollers like me.

Geometry Wars 2: Awesometastic!

Leave a reply

ss_gwre2_2.jpgGeometry Wars 2 is my latest addiction. I believe its the simplicity of the concept rolled into the complexity of the gameplay. It’s an old fashioned quarter muncher from the arcade days, where the more you play, the better you get. And when you die, you just feel the need to start all over again. I enjoyed the first game, but this thing is so much deeper. With five games modes all with their own stiff challenges, Geometry Wars 2, may have me hitting start again, and again, well past my bedtime.

842a0001_1_fb_big_thumbnail_gwg.jpg If you buy the EA sports game Facebreaker coming out later this month you can create your own boxer. But why do that when you can play as me. Yep thats me with alot more muscle than I’ll ever see in my life. The lucky creature boxer will be available to download listed under lucky creature once you connect to the EA servers. Boxing games aren’t my thing so I won’t be picking this title up but will someone out there represent me in the virtual world?
