Games are coming, color me stoked ...
The Microsoft Xbox 360 Spring Showcase Round Up and Electronic Arts's Spring Break Games Day are overlapping, and those two events plus some other announcements have me excited. (And thank you, kotaku.com, for giving me an all-in-one link source.)
- There's a rumored Xbox 360 Dashboard spring update that may support motion controllers.
- The footage for Too Human (August) and Ninja Gaiden II (June) has me stoked; (and while the NGII trailer is slick, I'm ticked TH has downgraded co-op from 4 to 2).
- EA's moving away from quarterly guidance (take that, non-logical knee-jerk market), and talked its 3-year growth plan.
- EA recognizes the PC growth opportunity, and CEO John Riccitiello correctly said the PC market has "been growing for several years... it's categorized wrongly by looking simply at the box side of the equation."
- The free Battlefield Heroes is looking slick.
- Battleforge, that collectible / RTS(ish) thing, has me interested.
- Left 4 Dead, more zombie-killing (and being) love, is still leading me on.
- I want Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts to resurrect Rare; lotta people working their tales of on middling received titles, so let's knock one out of the park.
- Atlus announces great concepts, and I'm waiting for one to pay out for me. Zoids may be it (I dig the IP).
- Fable II? It may end up being my third anticipated game (after Too Human and Ninja Gaiden II)
- Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is coming May 21. I will buy it for its lengthy title (eat it, Peter Jackson's King Kong the Official Game of the Movie!); I will buy it to support snarky indie devs everywhere.
