‘Tis the season – part 2
Back in July I posted about a bunch of upcoming games I’m really stoked about. Some of which are out now, some of which have been delayed, and surprise surprise… Half-Life 2 still has no release date. I really doubt we’ll be seeing it any time soon, seeing how they’ve come up with another excuse to delay it. Although, I did read somewhere that a bunch of gaming magazines had reviews of HL2 in their October releases. So who knows. It would be awesome if they proved me wrong and released the game.
Anyways, I’m doing just fine without HL2. I picked up the COD expansion United Offensive and it’s f’n great! I swear, I’m going to die of a heartache playing COD. That game is far too intense! I also grabbed Star Wars Battlefront last week and I must say, despite the mediocre reviews, this game rules! I’ve been an avid player of the Battlefield series and Battlefront (although blatantly steals from BF) is a rip I can live with. They took all the best parts of BF and added a whole lot of SW goodness to it. Just like BF, you can hop in every vehicle and go (just about) everywhere you can see. The graphics are stunning, the sound is incredible and it’s just plain fun! First thing I did was play the Endor battle and jump on a Land Speeder. So rad! Running over Ewoks and plowing through Wookies while dodging trees in a giant forest full of Storm Troopers = a good fuckin’ time!
