Time to update this list of games… thought I already had done this earlier and I seem to have forgotten it. Ok, well I didn’t get all my games for the “by July” set complete, but I did manage to knock off at least two from that set. Perhaps I should take all of the games on the right and move them to the other side and then take those still needing work and move them to the right.

Up to July 2009 HALO: Combat Evolved HALO 2 Fable Bioshock Assassins Creed GRAW 2 Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2 episode 1 Half-Life 2 episode 2 Portal GTA iv

Rest of 2009 Gears of War Gears of War 2 Fable II Fallout 3 Mass Effect Frontlines: Fuel of War Rainbow Six Vegas Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Call of Duty: World at War Halo 3 Halo Wars Halo 3: ODST

Well I’m not going to do that, I will continue to knock more of these games off my list as the year moves along though. In my defense of Halo: CE, I’ve at least read the book and played a good portion of it and know the story arc for that one. I was afraid I’d be stuck for ever on Star Wars: TFU and have to say its been one of the harder games for me to play. I just don’t seem to be able to get in synch with that one.

 The MNU wants You! More an more activity has been seen in District 9 and it seems to be spreading out side of the district as well. This means its up to all of us to keep an eye on the Non-Humans and report any suspicious activities we notice.

Ok, if you haven’t seen the movie District 9 or visited the web site ARG that is supporting an promoting the movie, your more an likely wondering what the hell this is all about. Lots of buzz has been growing for this recently released film and its on my list of movies to see soon.

In addition to the movie is the ARG (Alternate Reality Game) site and interactive web site that allows people to slip into more of what this movie is all about and act as if your part of the events taking place.

I’ve heard pretty cool things from the movie and I can say the little bits I’ve seen of the site are pretty cool. Its not just a place to watch trailers and clips from the movie.

If your interested in the movie, then take a look at the site as well, but you need to make a decision on if your Human or Non-Human before you progress to far now.

Wow, its been a bit since I’ve posted here on the old gaming blog. I’ve been keeping busy with RejectedGamer.Com and writing reviews and editorials for them as well as some Podcasting episodes. I’m having a blast with all of that I’d say and getting to play a variety of games as well. So lets see, I’ve beat Assassins Creed finally and loved the game.

I’ve also broke the 10K milestone for my Gamerscore now, don’t feel anything different really from that, but its good to know that I’ve beaten a few games to get to this level. Its not so much the beating them for me, I actually enjoyed most if not all of the story lines that I’ve experienced in these games, I’ve even started looking at Call of Duty 4 on Veteran now and getting ready for Modern Warfare 2 at the same time.

Well it looks like I need to get back into some more of Bioshock now and get that game cleared off my list of games. That game really gets my heart thumping with things jumping out at me from just about everywhere. In addition to Bioshock, I need to finish up Mass Effect. I enjoy that one a lot and I’ve even started using more of the abilities and not just my standard weapons.

Game over now… and another one is off my list of games with Halo 2 being finished now at last. Interesting with the switch back an forth between Master Chief and the Arbiter.

Buts its nice to have completed at last and fills in the gaps between the games so to speak. I’ll be ready for Halo 3: ODST now.

I guess I should move back to Halo: Combat Evolved next and beat it once and for all too. I’ve read the book so I know the story and that is mainly why I never completed it in the first place.

Actually most of the games on the list now have all been started at some point. I just need to set the time aside and knock them out. One game at a time, one game at a time now.

Monday June 1st, 2009 will see the kick off for E3 2009 with Microsoft’s Press Conference and they claim to bring lots and lots of treats for everyone this year.

Its no secret that they’ll be showing off Halo 3: ODST and promoting this title. But what else could they have in store for us? Well if they do as well as last year, then I think they’ll entertain all of us for sure.

I’ve already set my Uverse to record all of SPIKE TVs coverage from E3 and my evenings will be more an likely filled with scanning through hours and hours of coverage. With Microsoft up first and then on Tuesday we’ll hear from Nintendo and Sony, followed by a number of things from various Game Developers attending E3.

I predict that Microsoft will bring the best presentation once again. I think Nintendo will come out and show us their numbers front an center as they did last year. I can only hope Sony can pull something together and bring a little more Wow this year, I mean could they get in worse really?

Last year Sony showed Home again and its out, but nothing to jump up an down about. The best thing they had last year was the reveal of MAG and I hope they’ll have a lot more to show us in that respect. I don’t own any Sony systems, but this is more an likely the only title that has my interest and makes me think, hmmm what about a PS3. The PSP Go has been leaked now and this is more than likely the first gaming system from Sony I’d look at getting. Then again I would have to already have purchased the new Zune HD first.

What ever happens this year, I think gaming is stronger than ever and I’m sure each camp will have something to look forward to. I just can’t help but feel the appeal that Microsoft brings is so much stronger. But my family is multi-console now and even seen the new addition of the Nintendo DSi to the household.

Next week will be a blast of video game news and I’m a sponge just waiting to absorb all they can throw at me now.
