GDC SO FAR!!! MY THOUGHTS

Hey All,

So the GDC is well upon us and of course the media hounds are all over it.(does that include me?)

Anyway here are some of my impressions thus far

GOW2:

Trailer sucked!!!! it was nothing more than an announcement. A peice of animated crap that did noit show any gameplay whatsoever. Whatever, everyone already knew this was coming what was the big friggin deal. Epic you are better than this. Step up to the plate with some new in game footage already.

Bionic Commando:

Knock, Knock...anybody in there ever heard of Spiderman. I watched 4 different peices of in game footage and was not impressed at all. Swinging around the jungle with the claw or whatever it is. TOOOOOOO MUCH LIKE SPIDERMAN.

Reinvent the game. Don't destroy a classic with outside influences. And stop the swinging ponytail.....it's gay.

Microsoft gets a handheld....sort of

Microsoft announced that the Zune player will now be getting games based on the XNA format. Hey, it's a start even if it is a day late.

ANOTHER DUH MOMENT!!!

A Ninja Gaiden 2 Demo is coming soon.

HOLY CRAP WHY WAS I IMPRESSESD WITH THIS?????????

Saw footage of Street Fighter IV and was blown away. I know fighting games are just about all the same. But this new version seems to have kept everything that made it great in the first place and also put a next gen mark on it.

Mario Kart Wii:

EH!! Same gameplay....now with steering wheels and motorbikes...what a revelation

Fable 2:

It's about family and money????? HUH!!!

Gameplay takes about 12 hours to complete. You can get pregnant and have kids (if you're a female) then you have to make money to support them by getting a real job (Blacksmith etc...)

VERY VERY VERY COOL MOMENT!!!

Before Fable 2's release a series of XBLA games will be released that will let you amass a small fortune that will transfer to your character once you buy the game.

Random Thought:

10,000 BC looks friggin awesome. Dinosaurs, spears and sabretooth's .....I'm There

See Ya
