I can barely deal with all the games which are about to come out in the next few weeks and months. Well there is little chance I could ever be truly without something fun and exciting to play from the past that somehow escaped my notice or financial reach at launch, the future always holds some highly anticipated treasures. While there are far too many games to list here that I would love to try, I will quickly speak about the 3 games I am most certainly going to buy before the year is out.
Bioshock
I list this first for two reasons: 1.It comes out the soonest (August 21st) and 2.It has me the most excited. How could you not love a spiritual successor to some of the best games ever (System Shock 1 + 2) which takes place in a crumbling and failed underwater utopia inspired by the writings of Ayn Rand? Still not convinced? Well then how about the fact that this beautiful Shooter/adventure/rpg hybrid mixes traditional shooting with crazy superhuman abilities called plasmids that allow you to pick and choose the genetic upgrades you use to lay waste to your enemies. If that's not enough, well then you must have a cold dead heart.
Halo 3
What can honestly be said that anyone with ears hasn't already heard. Sure it's not going to reinvent the wheel, but it will certainly make a wheel so appealing that we will roll it until it is all but square again. Pretty new graphics, a pile of new enemies and weapons, an incredible evolution of the finest console multiplayer experience to date, and most importantly, a finish to the damn story. I'm downright giddy about everything except the sleep I'm bound to lose. If you're somehow not sold by now, all I'll say is, Kieth David.
Mass Effect
This one's the hardest sell, although that's putting it up against the juggernauts that are Halo and Bioshock, two games I've been waiting YEARS for. I want Bioshock pretty bad, but my yearning only became truly cemented after this years E3. This is the latest epic RPG from Bioware, makers of some of the finest western RPG's ever. Always an innovator, this time they've created an insanely huge space opera with sweet sweet shooting action, crazy amounts of customization, the best conversation system I've ever seen, and an overall experience that will truly be unique to every player depending on their actions and choices. Now that's the kind of hot talk daddy likes. Throw in a hopping space buggy and, oh yeah, more Kieth David, and I'm freakin' sold. November can't come soon enough.
So there you go kids. These are the games I'll drop everything to play. Be back soon for a few more of the games I'm guaranteed to pick up to fill in the gaps. All awesome, just maybe not as awesome as these three. When forced to choose between a lack and an over abundance, I choose over abundance here for sure.
