Games to look forward to for this November/December Holidays!
1. Call of Duty : World at War - Call of Duty returns back to World War 2, focusing now on the Russian Eastern Front and the Pacific War. It's an upgraded game engine using the one from Call of Duty 4. It'll be most interesting to see how they approach Pacific theater of war, just as what Medal of Honor had done with Pacific Assault.
2. Command and Conquer Red Alert 3- Lol, the Red Alert series has always been one of my favourite series. It won't get my vote on the fast gameplay and rush tactics but the graphics and cinematics are awesome. I was only in Sec 1 when Red Alert 2 came out, and I was gaga over it..lol. I'm really looking forward to see RA3 coming out and the previews makes it look very delicious. The cast of the cinematics include famous Hollywood names like Kelly Hu (Yuriko from X-Men, Sorcereess from Scorpion King), George Takei (Star Trek and Heroes) and Peter Stormare (John Abruzzi from Prison Break, Ernst Roehm from Hitler rise of Evil). Oh, and they have a new 3rd faction up replacing Yuri. It's Japan, the Empire of the rising sun and they have all those Gundam like units flying around..lol.
3. World of Warcraft : Wrath of the Lich King - Yups, level cap shifted to level 80 and there's new hero class based on the death knight which starts immediately from the late levels. It's time to head towards the snowy regions of Northrend. Looks like more grinding to do and the expansion plus reload card are sure to cost a bomb..zzzzz..
4. Brothers-in-arms Hell's Highway: When I first played BiA Road to Hill 30, i find it a rather unique game in that it focuses on tactics rather than hit and run like the medal of honor and call of duty series. You can refer to it as a World War 2 ghost recon..lol. The storyline's great and what I like is that the developers put in a lot of effort to actually recreate the place in the game as it was in reality. In the bonus section, you can see the pictures of developers travelling to France and all those D-Day areas to map out a very accurate environment. And BiA is not going to go easy on the gore, pointing out that real-life war is as bloody as that or even worse.
5. FIFA 2009 - Gosh, the graphics are double the quality than that in 2008. Rooney looks almost real-life like. When I looked at the screenshots for the PC version, I thought I was looking at the Xbox 360 one. It seems that there's new elements in the play in that players can now even use the mouse to control the game. That would be interesting..hehe.
6. Football Manager 2009 - What's this?? 3D engine for the first time for the FM series?! Wow...this would mean in the future, we might even see FM having graphics like FIFA series. Actually EA has that sort of managing game, but it's really sucky as compared to the realism provided by the FM series. Even in 2D, FM gets the adrenaline pumping and all the tactical brainwork interesting. It would be most interesting to see how the developers changed the game with a 3D engine. Will there be graphical Ronaldo stepovers?..hehe..New media options include holding press conferences, answering reporter's question and if you wanna be a badass manager, you can choose to storm out of the conference..haha..
7. Need for Speed Undercover : Maggie Q is in this! The protagonist in this is a undercover cop, so you can expect pretty much what the storyline will be. It seems that Undercover is touted to be way much better than the not-so-acclaimed ProStreet.
8. GTA IV - Finally! PC version for one of the most anticipated games in the market. Lol, Rockstar always starts with the console first. GTA IV returns to New York, the same city as GTA 3. This time, it would be an Eastern European fella chasing the American Dream. Gosh, the graphics in this is totally breathtaking as seen in Xbox 360. It's practically Call of Duty 4 graphics fueled GTA. I'm gonna shudder at the amount of space taken by this game. 15 GB easily? haha..
all i gotta say is..Eye Candy!
