War

Right, so after a long hiatus from blogging due to finals, graduation, life, etc. I'm back and ready to start being professional.

I think the only thing I can talk about at the moment is some of the new releases which I think are about to tip the scales in the console wars.

InFamous - A brand new title exclusive to the PS3 from Sucker Punch. This game is a sandbox game like few others these days and manages to be incredibly playable and entertaining. This game has been waited for so anxiously that gamers cannot help but flip for it. A heavy hitter for Sony.

God of War III - The third installment in the retardedly popular God of War series and another PS3 exclusive. These games have never been amazing, but have been consistently good and fun, so, from what I've seen, I'd say that the third game will continue this tradition and will put another strong contender on Sony's side.

Alan Wake - A new game from the Max Payne guys and it's going to be PC and X360 only. Another game that looks to be incredibly good and it's on Microsoft's side. Despite my personal issues with the 360 I gotta say it's living up to the hype, gremlins aside. Besides, I can't wait to see what this team is doing. I'll still side with PC, but I have issues...

Left 4 Dead - PC and 360 again, and damn fun. I've only played it on the 360, but the controls are suprisingly intuitive and it feels like a real survival game, not a Resident Evil clone. Also, the AI controlled difficulty is astounding. I really can't survive on my own. The AI can be bloody stupid, especially if you're on a stationary turrett, but then, that's what friends are for.

There are several more games coming out, but these four are the ones I really wanted to mention. Truth is, there is no change in the console wars stalemate. The 360 is still more playable despite it's endless issues, the PS3 is still overpriced and lacking games, and the Wii is still winning because they decided gamers aren't their target audience anymore. The real truth is that they're all good systems, but Sony needs to put out a lot of good games in a hurry if they want to last at all. I fear that PS3 is going the way of Dreamcast.
