Shared on Sun, 08/26/2007 - 22:08 I just can't feel the hype for any of the upcoming games. I am just getting back into the console gaming "scene" if you will, after a long journey into the MMO world. So, I checked out gamespot.com (yeah, im not sure if this is still the website to checkout for this kinda stuff, ill have to look around) and I checked out all the top games for the 360.
Number 1 still is Bioshock. I heard so much about the game in the passed few weeks, so I had to check it out on the site. It just doesn't look like my kind of game. I never got into the horror genre of games, never caught the Resident Evil or Silent Hill fever.
So the next obvious choice to check out was Halo 3. Now I may be the only person in the modern world that owns an xbox and does not own either of the Halo games. I was a staunch opponent of FPS games on a controller. I mean it just doesn't seem like it would work, right? So now that I am turning my back on PC gaming, I decided to give FPS on the console a whirl, so I went to the local Game Stop and picked up a copy of Black for the Xbox (I couldn't find any copies of either Halo there, the old Xbox section got cut in half to make room for the 360). And I must say, I am really liking it. So I am looking forward to getting Halo 3 for the 360 but I don't know, I just don't have the anticipation or anything like I did for say The Burning Crusade WoW expansion, which in the end was a horrible let down. I am even thinking of getting in on the Halo 3 midnight launch parties just to try to catch some of the Halo fever.
I mean don't get me wrong, there are tons of games coming up for the 360 that I am planning on buying, but I just want that "little kid on christmas morning" feel for one damn game at least. Maybe I just haven't been back in the console world long enough to appreciate the year long wait that is usually ahead of those must-have games that just gives you that feeling the closer it gets to launch. Maybe I am just getting older and it just doesn't feel the same since now I have a job to support my gaming habit and I don't have to fill a piggy bank and hope I have enough in there so I can buy Mario All-stars. But then again, many of the games that I really enjoyed weren't those hyped up games. I ended up buying a Wii from all the hype it was getting and I've played Mario 2 on the virtual console more then anything else.
