Game Previews-Q4 Special

Posted in Video Games at 11:02 am by earl

Mercenaries 2-This game from one of my favorite developers  Pandemic will be coming back to our favorite workers who blow stuff up for a living. This game will have three playable characters, and lots and lots of explosions.

The Legend of Zelda:Phantom Hourglass- After Link’s highly successful journey on the Wii, he’s decided he’ll head to the DS for the first time in his new adventure. It will be interesting to see how they’kk use the dual screens late this year.

 

Rock Band- This game that plans to beat Guitar Hero will be hitting stores late this year, but it will also come with some interesting attachments. It will come with a microphone, a drum set, and a guitar, which will probably run it’s price up unless they sell them seperately. But in my case, I’ll just stick with good ol’ Guitar Hero 3.

Need For Speed Prostreet-The latest in the NFS series will be returning to the next-gen consoles, and like your long on vacation aunt, be bringing back some neat toys. They’ll be bringing back drifting, and other kinds of neat races later this year.

Splinter Cell:Convicition-The latest in the great Splinter Cell series will have our buddy Sam Fischer trying to find a mole in his garden, I mean organization. This game will have truly next-gen physics and graphics late this year.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2-The first in this series was one of my favorite games of all time, and I expect even more from this possible powerhouse of video games. You will be playing as Rayman trying to stop the evil bunnies who are trying to get everyone to love them and slowly take over the earth. Look for this one hopefully this winter.

Army of Two-I’ll admit, I’m really not as enthusiastic about this game as others have been, I kinda see this one as Splinter Cell’s co-op in one big game. But of course, their are others who disagree. Anyway, you can be sure to have plenty of cooperative moves, and more.

Assassin’s Creed-Possibly one of my most anticipated games is Assassin’s Creed. Although it somewhat reminds me of Prince of Persia in a different environment. There will be tons of cool moves, and hopefully, some very awesome gamplay.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games-Yea, I know, it sounds crazy, but it looks like Nintendo an Sega are finally teaming up to make a Mario and Sonic game where they’re competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I’ll stop typing now because if I type anymore I’ll have to check myself into a mental home.

Spiderman:Friend or Foe?-There’s not really that much I know about this project. All I know is that it will follow Spidey in he film trilogy, and it will probably show up on all three next-gen consoles.

Guitar Hero 3-Another great game series is Guitar Hero, which has helped turn gaming into something cool. Thank you Guitar Hero. Thank You. Anywho, this new installment will feature all kinds of new stuff, from a new button look and some new songs, from Alice Cooper to Tenacious D. Rock on!

Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground-The new Tony Hawk game heading to our systems will be Proving Ground, which will an appropriate title since the new game skate will hope to be giving Tony Hawk a run for his money. Let’s just hope it sticks to true skating formula, and it’s good on the Wii.

 

Beautiful Katamari-The nextgame in the Katamari series will be pushing weird to the limit, which has been quoted as “making Japanese people say WHAT!” There ill be all kinds of new characters, and probably new levels. Ahhhahhh Nanananaaana nanananaan Beautiful Katamari!

Ratchet and Clank 5-Set phasers for fun! This is truly the best for last. This time Ratchet and the rest of the lombaxes are threatened to be killed by a new enemy, and it’s up to Ratchet, Clank, and possibly Captain Quark to save the day. There will be new weapons, including the disco gun which will make your robot enemies dance until they can’t dance no more!
