It’s that time of the year again when we had a dream that we write about that is absolutely breathtaking and jaw dropping … Okay, so clichés are the bane of any editor’s life.
Either way I feel this weeks’s releases can sum up the whole year’s games. There have been dire sequels which fail to provide anything new or interesting. Then there are the games that have tried to be innovative but have failed from high expectations and hype.
And last but not least there are the games that are living legends whose sole existence has led to sleeping disorders. Well, maybe for me at least.
It has been a great year for games and the horizon is looking even better. It seems the recent surge of zombies has led to the reanimation of some genres and games. On the comedy genre front Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is shaping up to be interesting judging from the stuff on their blog (therealmatthazard.wordpress.com).
Of course with any game that relies on humour, if the jokes aren’t funny then the game could fail. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Then there is the return of Street Fighter, which is looking impressive, and the return of Resident Evil 5, this time with more chainsaws and even a giant rusty axe. And let’s not forget giant tentacles coming out of every orifice.
So the future’s bright and brimming with interest. But for now it is probably best we all feed our Left 4 Dead addictions then swiftly go to the nearest Dead Anonymous meetings.
