Freaking awesome. It sets the bar. Driving mechanics, everything. They’ve taken a long time, which pisses off gamers when they take a long time to release, but usually when they do that the creators take their time to make the game good. Doesn’t always work that way, like with Alpha Protocol which got pushed back 8 months but averaged maybe 6 out of 10. It sucked that they took such a long time but it’s cool that they are getting people that like any type of motorsport like rally and Nascar and those people are going to enjoy it. The rally is my favorite. Others might enjoy street racing. They are tapping into all markets. Haven’t heard about customization where Forza has had the edge when it comes to multiplayer, community where you are able to auction off your cars but your design. Damage is good, looks good, physics look good.

Going to be awesome. The only change is new background. Same game, just different city. New content, which is fine for most people. You’ve got to keep that new content coming to keep gamers happy.

It’s going to be a NFS game. Those fans will love it. don’t know too much about it.

It’s like when Halo 2 was out asking me what i thought about Halo 3. It’s cool that they are putting in new stuff, new aliens. New big giant aliens. They are trying to freshen up their game, seem not so repetitive. They added a female, so female gamers should be happy. It’s all about tapping into every single market you can. It’s what phones have been doing and it’s tapping into game. Trying to achieve that game that has something everyone wants. The game that everyone likes.

They did awesome. All the ones that stuck with the original are going to love it and migrate. Great visuals. I think their main goal was to keep it the same, which is what they needed to do. Keep it the same, add new graphics and features modern computers are able to handle, and keep that feel the same. Even a lot of the structures look the same, just updated graphics. That’s what gamers want. Sometimes all you need to do is update graphics and fix glitches to make a good game better. Look at GoldenEye.

It’s cool. But because it’s on the Wii it wont be as big as on maybe the other consoles; if they could bring it to Xbox and PlayStation that would be brilliant.

Creators behind it always do a great job. To put that game on the PSP was the best thing to happen to the PSP. Right now not everyone owns a mobile gaming device. Until their graphics and controls match a console they will not be as popular. But god of war is a good match for mobile devices. Good stuff going on in that game. Definitely lived up to what it’s supposed to be for handhelds.

Creators do well at sticking to the formula of what made the original great, ever since the N64.

Going to be really good. They are going to focus outside the asylum. New sights. Asylum was the only really good superhero game to come to consoles. If they stick to formula they should be fine. Graphics look good once again.

I’m actually excited for Blacklight: Tango Down. It’s an indie PC shooter. Only 15 bucks. Think of a futuristic Counter-Strike. Gameplay is smooth and for 15 dollars you can’t beat that. Steam is a great company and delivers. 15 dollars and you get huge customization and everything feels personal. Did I mention it’s just 15 dollars?

A lot of gamers out there are older than before. They are used to playing on arcade machines. Because they grew up playing those simple games they will want to go back and play those simple games. Because it’s a game they played a long time ago and were a huge fan it is a given they have to play the new game. It seems like Nintendo taps into the classic  gamers and the young gamers, but not whats in between. Which is the present, the hardcore. The Halo. That’s the in between. It’s a present game.

MGS Rising, Deus Ex, and Kinect, Microsoft has a lot going on.

PlayStation was smart in adding their Plus service. A lot of people didn’t enjoy the PS live experience, but it was free. This might put PlayStation on a level playing field through more servers, updates, avatars, make a better community.

The main thing I’m excited about is Deus Ex. I think that is going to bring together what most people are looking for, especially MGS fans and Deus Ex fans. It’s going to incorporate aspects of both games. It’s going to combine. Probably one of the most underrated games out there.

Well, I’m not saying people aren’t excited. But Halo, Gears of War, Gran Turismo, we’ve seen new iterations a lot more frequently. Deus Ex holds a special spot in a lot of gamers. It’s holds the spot of being one of the greatest games of all time. It’s finally getting a proper sequel from the developers and we should all be excited.

I think the Move is going to be fun, it’s a lot like the Wii. It’s out to tap the market of casual gamers. Most hardcore gamers are probably not too enthused about the idea of moving as you play video games. But it will work for the family member that wants to stay at home and flip screen to screen while he or she watches Netflix. It’s a cool feature, but not a feature that will concern hardcore gamers. Hardcore gamers are going to buy the new Halo before the Kinect.

Until the Xbox Kinect and the move incorporate more social features like Facebook I don’t see it getting too big. People really enjoy the social features and i think the cameras could take advantage of the face to face talk.

The Kinect, those are strictly arcade, it’s going to be successful in the arcade marketplace, you know, maybe around the 15 dollar price. That is definitely where they are going to make the most money.

Deus Ex.

Medal of Honor is going to be better. It’s made by EA. They have more manpower and experience. They pushed out great games these past few years and are expanding into new markets, like with their new MMA game. More people are going to stand behind CoD because it’s been out longer but they are going to be surprised by what EA is going to bring to the table.Regarding Medal of Honor, I have always been a huge franchise fan, played it ever since Xbox came out. EA has a lot of money and experience. Graphics look amazing. MoH is very story driven, the CoD multiplayer will be hard to beat. EA is going to have to pull out the stuff to beat CoD multiplayer. CoD is already pushing Black ops so it will be interesting to see who wins. It’s going to be interesting to see EA’s approach. EA will have to win CoD fans. We don’t know how hard the game will be or the pace, but they are going to have to separate themselves to make people want to play their game. EA creators said they are very focused on the character himself. They got a really good story behind it. They said it’s even somewhat true, historically correct. So that in itself is pretty cool.

It’s going to be interesting. They definitely have interesting ideas but I feel they are going disappoint like with Fable II. I feel like they are throwing too much into the mix. Hard to say right now if it’s going to be good or not. I like the idea of being a king and how that works out. It’s something I’m going to have to wait to see. Fable II and Fable III will probably never be as good as Fable I. They are good games but not iconic and revolutionary like the first one. What people most want in the game is swords and big armor, and once guns got into play that got to be a little too much.

Mostly the same as the other two. I’m excited for the possible multiplayer component. It’s going to be cool to see other assassins. It’s a great game already but if they add coop and multiplayer it would be even better. Great game as is, but it can get repetitive. Other games like GTA set the bar high for replay value and it’s hard to reach those standards.
