Life is short, start gaming.

Just a side note; I did not do all those things co-writer just said. Maybe a few but not all of them!

Now on to the juicy bits.

After a long and nerve wrecking wait (no thanks to my sloppy ISP), I finally got my hands on the demo of EA’s upcoming Dante’s Inferno (A video game based on the epically renowned divine comedy by Dante Alighieri) on my Xbox360. For all it was worth, the demo does not disappoint, giving us, the oh so patient customers-to-be, a small but delectable taste of what is to come. Parents, guardians, and even big brothers/sisters take heed however, as the game stays true to its rating. The demo contains nudity (not the minor kind) and in-depth violence that is inappropriate for those under 16 (Sure the label says 18, but I’m sure someone of 16 years can manage)

Tristan and I slept with people, killed people, held many hostage and stole a truckload of candy from various babies to get the dirt on upcoming games of 2010 and we succeeded. Well we didn’t do any of that, we just did our research and grabbed whatever information we could. Spike TV finally revealed ( supposedly ) epic games for the upcoming year 2010 - 2 more years for 2012 D= . Some of them were quite a shock to us and others fed our hunger for ‘moar’ information on games that had released teasers months ago. Enough of this South Asian fool blabbering on, here’s the list along with links of upcoming games :

Spike TV got dibs and hosted the Video Game Awards once again for 2009 as well as failed to deliver its so called promised “SPECIAL ONLINE COVERAGE “which they constantly spammed in caps lock as adverts all over their site. This year it was the star of the video game “ Brutal Legend “ hosting the show and like every other show he has hosted, Jack Black pulled it off with his quirky comedy. Majority of the nominees were… rather bullshit (pardon my French). Games you would have thought that never stood a chance of getting nominated pretty much did.
Whether you like it or not, here are the winners of 2009 :

             If your grand mother were to pick up a copy of ForzaMotorsport 2, it would take her the rest of her remaining days to play the game in full swing. Not that it is a bad game, it’s just that it isn’t the simple ‘ pick up and play ‘ which most games are nowadays.

If it was considered an arcade game it would crumble amongst the presence of Need For Speed and Midnight Club. However it indeed is a remarkable game being the simulation that it is.

Does EA find pleasure in butchering one of their most revered series? Most Wanted, in my opinion, was and always will be the peak of their success in the Need for Speed chain. It delivered what every gamer expected in a game based on the underground street racing culture; the story, the racing, the chases, and the customization , well not really, Underground 2 won this cake by a long shot. Nonetheless, ever since the disappointment of Carbon and Pro Street, I am still waiting for the release of a title that can overthrow Most Wanted from its 4 year rule. Yes, I am still waiting, as Undercover falls short of my expectations. What went wrong here EA? To me it looks like you boys rushed it, adding some decent content, but also neglecting the vital aspects that made Most Wanted a hit.

It’s time to leave the glittering city façades and take racing to the tracks, as Need for Speed reverts back to its roots with Pro Street. I’ve been an avid fan of the Need for Speed series since Hot Pursuit, enticed by the rebellious style it brought to its genre.  After hearing about their decision to switch back to track races, I was reluctant to buy and play the game. But alas, one does get bored it was all I could afford at the time. I cannot label this game as bad for being different; instead I give it a pat on the back for taking a brave step away from an overused sub genre. Every aspect of the game has been refurbished to give players a different experience.
