Skyrim, Halo Anniversary, Zelda… Oh My!!
Hello gamers and friends of gamers,
Gotta love the fact that there are no big games coming out for months now and then all of a sudden three major titles come out within 10 days of each other! You would think the game companies who create these games would keep an eye out for each others releases, but ehh. :) Maybe Skyrim creators picked the best date releasing first on November 11th. Halo Anniversary will be next on November 15th, then Zelda: Skyward Sword on November 20th, which is a Sunday. Weird day of the week Nintendo!! Although perfect for me since I’m off on Mondays. ;) Personally I am interested in all three of these games and I may have to be locked down like a hermit! I’ll be inside so long the sun will hurt my eyes when I peek out for the first time and realize it’s 2012. My friends won’t even recognize me with the new facial hair I’ve gro….. WAIT A MINUTE!!
heh, heh… Just kidding.
I’ve never ever been that bad! But it sure is fun to get engulfed in a game for a while. Of course my boyfriend being all knowing of everything related to gaming culture, he has informed me of the ever popular poop sock. Yes,.. it’s the sock that you poop in! No, WE have never used the poop sock. Click here for the ever wonderful Urban Dictionary to explain it all!! Not to be confused with this version of being Poopsocked: http://youtu.be/2bqcjQRzkeQ. :)
Moving on….. These games are getting mad reviews by sites such as IGN.com. They gave Skyrim a 9.5 which is listed as “amazing” on their review. I have not played the previous installments of this game, but I watched the video review and it looks like something I could see myself getting into! They talk about how engulfing it is having a large world packed with so much content, an amazing sound track, every detail in the scenery in extremely well done and thought out. Also players have the freedom to do what they want when they want. So if I want to explore around I can or if I want to go to Burger King with my dragon I can.
Well, you might not be able to do that last part. I might be heading out to purchase this tonight. Now the only decision is do I play on PC or XBox? I love playing on Xbox, but I keep hearing how PC gaming can be a better experience. I am still not using to PC gaming and need to set up the computer I have to play to be more comfortable. Lets just say I’m using a small office chair that is falling apart in our guest bedroom.
I can not wait for Halo Anniversary since I have been a huge fan of the franchise since Halo 2! So this is perfect for me since I never played the first Halo game: Combat Evolved. Shame on me, I know! The anniversary game will be fully remastered and players will be able to toggle between the original style of play and the new style of play(with armor effects, etc.) There will be a bunch of multi-player maps included, plus hidden areas throughout the campaign where you can learn about untold parts of the story line that foreshadow Halo 4. Hmmmmm, Halo……. :)
Funny thing about Zelda: Skyward Sword is I had no idea it was coming out so soon. I watched it being talked about on E3 coverage months ago and then it left my mind because it seemed so far away at that time. It looks amazing like the last few Zelda games that came out and apparently this time we get a lot more story and I’m sure this means more character development! The motion controls are even better in this game and really demonstrate how motion control redefines game play overall. I’ve said in the past that Zelda: Twilight Princess was the only reason to buy a Wii and now there is a second reason. ;) As an early birthday present, my boyfriend has pre-ordered me the Skyward Sword Bundle with Gold Wii Remote Plus!! Guys, if you wanna give your lovely gaming ladies a wonderful treat, better order yours now! :) The Zelda games have been very popular among the ladies. It comes with the game, the Music CD Soundtrack and Gold Wii Remote Plus w/Triforce Symbol Accessory.
Well, I’m outta here! Gotta finish cleaning up the mess that was my craft room, all left over from the costuming over the last few months. I will be going through all of my loads of crud to organize it and try to find a place for it. I plan on ordering a small desk to become my sewing desk. Whoo-hoo!
Night night,
-Kitty
