The Great Leap Forward

So, the end of the year is coming up, and it's just a week before Christmas. While normally, I'd go on and on about what I've been doing when it comes to gaming, and I'll get to that. I also want to go on about what I'm looking forward to next year, and different things I'll be doing with the blog. I know I haven't been covering a lot of comics or music recently and have pretty much gone straight to gaming, but that'll change as soon as I actually have more music and comics to talk about. It's just been an exciting year for gaming (both new and old) with a lot to talk about.

Anyway, Persona 4 is out, and I've been playing that. I'll post more about it as I actually go in depth with it, still early on. Also, managed to grab a hold of the Resident Evil 5 demo, and I'm very excited about trying it on. I'll update with my impressions after Christmas.

As far as Christmas is concerned, I'll be getting a PSP, which means I'll be covering games for that in the future. All of the consoles save for the Wii should be getting some talk-time, so expect a broader range of updates. I'll also be focusing more on PC gaming, especially considering both Starcraft II and Diablo III will be released next year. I'll have a PC copy of Left 4 Dead very soon by way of a generous friend, and I'll be playing back through the old Fallout games, as well as other titles such as System Shock 2 and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Hopefully, I'll pick up Oblivion and Fallout 3 at one point, so I can include neater updates involving community-made mods.

I'll also be posting pictures on this and my other blogs of how to mod a Saturn, and hopefully I'll be able to do more technical work with console modification in the future if everything goes well. This means I'll be posting more about older games some people might not've heard of or had the chance to play, and I'm excited about that.

Speaking of, I'll be recording video to compliment blogs that way the content will be a little more substantial. It'll be used to just show off general gameplay videos, or to go in detail about in-game instances that bear discussion.

At any rate, there are several titles I'm looking forward to next year. Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, Starcraft II and Diablo III are a few I've already talked about, but outside of that, I'm looking forward to games like World Destruction and Infinitie Space for the DS, The Third Birthday and a few Level 5 titles for the PSP along with Patapon 2 and Monster Hunder Freedom 2G. Also, hoping a few MegaTen titles make it shore-side, such as Devil Survivor for the DS and Devil Summoner for the PS2.

Lastly, I'll also be doing a few serial articles on immersive games, such as Silent Hunter 3, Far Cry 2, Fallout, System Shock 2, STALKER and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Hopefully, it'll be worth a laugh or interesting side-note here and there.

Also, I can see these days. Imagine that.
