Well, as you may have noticed, this will be my first post in over a year. I'm hoping to change the format of the blog, offering news as well as reviews on all things gaming.
Last year was a pretty big year in gaming. We saw some great new IP's coming out, although it seemed that the year was to be dominated by sequels. Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 went head to head to to compete for your hard earned dollars in the FPS market. Gears of War and Uncharted both delivered fantastic entries for their respective consoles, and fueled the every growing flame war that seems to plague the Internet.
Nintendo confirmed one of the worst kept secrets of the year, announcing the Wii U at E3. This will be their first contestant in the HD console category, and while it seemed the end of the Wii was written on the wall, the breath taking Zelda Skyward Sword had me dusting off the wiimotes once again.
2011 also had its share of turkeys. Finally, after spending so much time in development hell that it became and ongoing gag, Duke Nukem Forever was finally released. Too bad it was a jumbled mess that had all the charm of a turd left to float in the toilet.
So what's to look forward to in 2012?
Bioware will be concluding their epic SciFi series with Mass Effect 3, Gearbox will be releasing Borderlands 2 as well as Aliens: Colonial Marine. The Wii U will (hopefully) be officially launched. Microsoft and Sony are being tipped to announce their new consoles, and Max Payne will finally make his first true HD appearance in Max Payne 3.
2012 will be a big year.
