The onslaught of awesome games continues unabated. As you know, Halo 3 was released in September and I'm still getting a massive amount of fun out of that.
Meanwhile, it now has some serious competition in the form of Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat. The Call of Duty series has always been very well received. I played the CoD 2 and that was a really fun game. CoD4 is by the same developer as 2 and I guess their experience in making this series of games has shone through in CoD4.
In addition, Assassins Creed was also recently released. Although some of the reviews are mixed, it seems to be the kind of game where you either love it or hate it (or rather, like it as 70% for a game isn't exactly bad). In particular, I note that Gamespot gave it a very good review. Gamespot are a review site which I often agree with - if their reviewers loved Assassins Creed, I suspect that I will as well.
And then, the nail in the coffin. Mass Effect is released in 2 days.
As I mentioned a couple of months ago, I've been looking forward to this game for ages. I've followed Bioware, as an RPG developer, for a good number of years now. As a result, I've seen the slow evolution of games by Bioware. However, the new conversation mechanic that they have developed seems to be such a large step that it can be called revolutionary rather than just evolutionary. Check out some of the videos here and you will see what I mean.
There are a ton of other good games coming out this year. The above are just the ones which I intend to get. Having said that, just clearing out the above games could take me well into next year!
What is a gamer meant to do!!
