2010 end-quarter video games

[Aaron Winsett]

Alright, the date is October eighteenth, two thousand and ten, and we have seen a number of highly anticipated games come out recently, or else are waiting for imminent release. Among them:

Halo: Reach, Fable 3, Assassin's Creed 2: Brotherhood, oh, and some game called Modern Warfare: Black OPs.

These are just the ones skimming the top of my head at the moment, and are also limited to Xbox360 (as far as I know), but there are others.

Xbox's Kinect, is supposed to be coming out soon as well, and it looks good, though I know little about it.

How about it? Anyone else interested in recent or upcoming releases? Anyone else stay up on technology, or new gadgets? Any stories to share?

[Gabriel]

Truth be told, I've been far more excited for handheld game releases than console or PC releases the past year/year and a half. As far as console releases, only Kirby's Epic Yarn and Metroid Other M interested me this year. Perhaps Final Fantasy XIII, but that one's out of reach(I don't have a Wii, PS3 or X360, but at least I have a friend I can borrow a Wii from).

As for handheld releases, Ys Seven and Ys: Oath in Felghana for PSP, Ivy the Kiwi?(though the Wii version is probably more worth it), Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals, Final Fantasy: The 4 Warriors of Light, Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn for DS(with Ghost Trick being a few days into 2012).

Always been a fan of the Ys series, and to have some of the newer ones getting official translations is like a godsend. And I'm really looking forward to see what this from-the-ground-up remake of Lufia II is like. And Golden Sun. GOLDEN SUN. YES!

(oh, and I guess I'm looking forward to the single player part of AC: Brotherhood. Not expecting much, though)

[Aaron Winsett]

I'm looking forward to Fable 3. I'm planning on being one of those guys playing it on the release date. lol I'll have to check, and see if they'll have copies at twelve in the morning. xD

[Gabriel]

I was kinda bummed when I heard Fable II wasn't going to have a PC release. I might get the third one if I hear good things about it.

Other than Golden Sun Dark Dawn, nothing is really of interest until Nintendo 3DS comes out. Why? Just look at it's Starting Line Up, along with a LOT other top selling series:

Bomberman
Megaman Legends 3 (FINALLY happening! That and the community is taking a part in the design, voting on things, suggestions box, contests, ETC.)
Street Fighter 4 3D edition
Ocarina of Time 3DS
Star Fox 3DS
Metal Gear Solid 3DS
Tekkin 3DS
Paper Mario ( Paper? 3D? mind has been blown.)
Dead or Alive (which amuses me immensely, considering the physics the game uses...on a nintendo system?)

[Gabriel]

I'm only excited for Megaman Legends 3 and Paper Mario out of that list. The rest are simple remakes or ports(Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64, Metal Gear Solid 3, Street Fighter 4). Perhaps Bomberman.

I'm more interested in Kid Icarus: Uprising and the Final Fantasy franchise, if they intend to remake V and VI for the 3DS. And most definitely the recently announced Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright game(now, THIS one is worth a YES!).

games I myself is waiting is probably just Dissidia: Duodecim

just the sole fact that you can play as Kain and Lighting is great, but adding to that new methods of fighting like the ability of to call out a friend during battle and attack for you, that is icing on the cake!!!

If you had bothered to actually click on reply instead of using the quick reply, you'd know that we have a YouTube tag. Simply add [ youtube]0M3SBZs3gCQ[ /youtube] and voila, there's your video(just remove the spaces before "youtube". Also, the code inside that is the video's code, right after watch?v= in the url).

my bad sorry

[Gabriel]

Not your fault. Just letting you know that it exists. Hey, even I forget sometimes(there's also a handy spoilers code if you ever want to use it...for...well, hell knows, but it's there!).

I'm getting Fable 3... Been playing Lord of Arcana though, and I'll probably pick up Ys Oath in Felghana on the psp when that comes out.

I have so many games to play now but I barely have any time to play 'em, haha.

[Gabriel]

YES. Felghana is awesome, seriously. I've heard that the PSP version has voice acting(which was non-existent in the 2005 PC version). Wonder who they picked for Chester's voice. It better be damn awesome, or else! *shakes fist*

On all seriousness, Ys: Felghana is an awesome action RPG. And the higher difficulties actually make things harder, for a change(unlike in most other games in which the higher difficulty is just as easy as the other ones, with few differences).

[Aaron Winsett]

Heh... Approximately 48 more hours until Fable 3 is released. Yeah, I'm completely obsessed over it...

I had a game called Fantasy Arc Rise (I think that's what it was called) recommended to me. It's a Wii game, and actually managed to catch my interest. Anyone else heard of it?

[Gabriel]

That'd be this:

Truth be told, all I know is that a friend of mine said it wasn't that good. Dunno how much you could trust him when it comes to RPGs, though, so take it with a grain of salt.
