VIDEO GAMES: Who wants to buy me a PS3?
So yesterday Gameinformer released the first exclusive screen shots from the newest game on the way from Naughty Dog "The Last of Us." The game premiered at the VGA awards and it looks to be an actual fresh take on the post-apocalyptic genre. The screen shots are absolutely gorgeous and it's games like this and the Uncharted series that give me the greatest sense of PS3 envy. All three shots are from actual gameplay so it's hard to deny that this may be one of the best looking games ever made. Hopefully the way the game feels is solid and Naughty Dog can develop an intriguing story. Look for The Last of Us to hit the PS3 later this year!

VIDEO GAMES: Ready your wallets and clear your schedule!
Well Battlefield 3 has hit stores nationwide and for the most part it's blowing peoples' minds. Although there has been some server problems and minor glitches with the game (this is why you don't rush release dates) the feedback from those who have been playing BF3 has been nothing but positive. So there you have it! There's nothing else to look forward to this year...oh wait. Actually there's so much to look forward to before this year finishes that it literally keeps me up at night. Like seriously, there are so many games coming out within the next couple months that are going to be incredible.
Here's my list of what I think are the most notable games hitting shelves before the end of 2011!
November 1st:
Title: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Platform: PS3
For any of you PS3 owners out there this is going to be an absolute must buy. The Uncharted series has been what I believe to be the posterboy series for PS3 exclusives and I'd be lying if I said I was never close to running to Gamestop to buy a PS3 almost only to play Uncharted. The absolutely rave reviews for all three games have always intrigued me and it seems that almost everyone who has played the games is in love with Nathan Drake. This one is less than a week away so get ready PS3 owners!
November 1st:
Title: Sonic Generations
Platforms: 360, PS3, 3DS (December 8)
Remember when Sonic was an awesome game? Well I barely do because I was like 6 years old when I played it on the Sega Genesis. Apparently Sonic Generations brings the beloved hedgehog back to his glory days with an impeccable combination of side scrolling and 3D gameplay. I personally can't wait to play Generations on my 3DS but I'm not sure if I'll be purchasing it as soon as it hits shelves; this may be a Christmas title for me.
November 8th:
Title: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Platforms: 360, PS3, PC, Wii
Do I really need to say anything? I'll see all you guys at Gamestop on the 8th!
November 11th:
Title: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Platforms: 360, PS3, PC
I am about 99% positive that this will be my game of the year. With the promise for breathtaking landscapes, and a completely immersive world I literally cannot wait for Skyrim to come out. I have spent recent nights struggling to fall asleep as I battle with myself over what kind of character I will play in Skyrim. Will I be a lightning chucking mage, a warrior with proficiencies (not sure if that's a word) in sword and shield or two handed weapons or something else entirely? Once Skyrim hits shelves it is likely that I won't play anything else for quite a long time.
November 13th:
Title: Super Mario 3D Land
Platforms: Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS is finally starting to heat up. With Sonic Generations and Super Mario 3D Land both hitting within the next couple weeks and Mario Kart 7 just around the corner I am finally getting excited to play the thing consistently. Mario 3D Land promises to be a gorgeous Mario game that combines everything we love about past Mario games into one awesome experience. I mean come on, you get to use the Tanooki suit while experiencing game play like Mario Galaxy! I for one am pumped!
November 15th:
Title: Assassins Creed: Revelations
Platforms: 360, PS3, PC (on 12/29)
Now I've never gotten into the AC games so I'm not even sure which game in the series this is but I know a ton of people are excited for it. Unfortunately that's about all the information I know. So yea, if you're into being a hooded badass who roams the streets killing bad people in awesome ways then you might want to check this one out!
November 15th:
Title: Halo Combat Evolved: Anniversary
Platforms: 360
It was a decade ago when the first Halo graced Xbox systems everywhere and introduced us to what is no doubt the most popular and successful Xbox exclusive title out there. It started a series that has produced almost no weak games and has consumed hours upon hours of our lives experiencing awesome multiplayer. This anniversary edition brings back everything we loved about the first game but brings the graphics up to date offering an experience much like the one the developers imagined but couldn't give us with their current technology. I'm expecting this game to sell very well.
November 18th:
Title: Minecraft
Platforms: PC (for now)
What?? I thought Minecraft was already out? Haven't people been playing it addictively for months creating incredible worlds and such? Well yes, but believe it or not Minecraft is still in beta! Personally I have put quite a few hours into my little world and I'm excited for the game to finally actually be released in all its glory so hopefully more people can experience its awesomeness.
December 4th:
Title: Mario Kart 7
Platforms: Nintendo 3DS
How could you not love Mario Kart? I mean honestly every Mario Kart game in the series has been completely awesome. Whether or not they tread new ground is irrelevant to me since the game is always so damn fun anyways. But it does look like 7 does tread some new ground with underwater portions of tracks as well as extremely customizable karts! This is one I'll definitely be getting on release date as I'm sure it's going to be completely absorbing on the 3DS!
December 20th:
Title: Star Wars: The Old Republic
Platforms: PC
Could this mark the end of World of Warcraft? A Massively Multiplayer Online experience set in the world of Star Wars? Where you can be a Sith, Jedi, bounty hunter, pilot, etc. and follow your own unique story line in a galaxy far, far away! This is perhaps the most highly anticipated game of the year and to be honest I think the expectations are getting a little high. The concept of the game is brilliant and intriguing but I can't help but feel that EA may be rushing its release like they just did with BF3 which translates into a lot of problems in the first month which is when most people will decide whether or not they'll play the game. I'll be checking it out for sure but I'm not sure where I'll end up with ToR.

VIDEO GAMES: How has this eluded me for so long?
So PS3 has a new marketing campaign under the tagline "Long, Live, Play." One of their first commercials shows live action versions of some of the most popular game characters from PS3 talking about adventures they've faced and the man who got them through, Michael. If you're like me and somehow you haven't seen it over the past couple weeks then check it out immediately. If you're not oblivious like me and have seen it before, then watch it again because it's awesome!
Shout out to my boy Jay Henderson for enlightening me!

VIDEO GAMES: It's nice to own an Xbox.
1UP is reporting that Bethesda announced today its first 2 Downloadable Content packages for Elder Scrolls: Skyrim will hit the Xbox 360 a full 30 days before they come to PS3. This is similar to a deal that Call of Duty has with Xbox in that the series' map packs will be available before the Playstation. I'm not sure why Xbox gets these privileges, although my hunch is that since people have to pay extra for the Xbox Live feature and the Playstation Network comes free with the PS3, Microsoft probably has more money to offer the companies for their DLC than Sony does. Who knows, I'm just glad I have an Xbox.

VIDEO GAMES: Sounds like Playstation Home is becoming...awesome?
Ya, awesome. Sony has announced that they are completely re-designing the PS3's home that serves as a lobby, MMO hangout and chat room. They are shooting to make the hub a place that combines games, events and community interaction in order to make it a place that people spend a little more time. Some of the changes include:
- A main Hub from which players can access games and take part in community activities including quests.
- An Action District for the more serious players where players can directly access action and horror games.
- An arena themed Sportswalk where players can not only access there favorite sports games, but can see live scores from professional sports.
- A jungle themed Adventure District where players can access adventure themed games.
- A Pier Park where players can play carnival style games, ride a Ferris Wheel and more.
I'm not a PS3 owner but it sounds like this will be a nice way for players to easily access what they love most about the PS3 in an interesting way. As of now it is set to go live this Fall!

GAMESCOM: Breaking news from Gamescom!
Well not really breaking news. I mean it's breaking in that we just heard it, but it wasn't really highly anticipated or anything. But nearly five years after hitting shelves, the Playstation 3 has experienced a price drop! Effective immediately you can now buy a PS3 for $249.99. Not a bad price for an amazing gaming system and a Blu-ray player eh? Anyways, I'm kind of upset it took this long; I mean it only took Nintendo 4 months to drop the price of the 3DS....zing! So ya, go buy a PS3 if you want one.
