E3 2008 – The Top Ten Games I’ve Just Gotta’ Play in 2008 – Part 2

The other day, I posted Part One of my post E3 series – The Top 10 Games I’ve Just Gotta’ Play in 2008.

As I mentioned then, originally I had planned to run this as a three-part series, aimed at providing my list of the Top 5 Games I’ve Just Gotta’ Play per system in 2008 but in pouring through the announced release dates, I realized that there were not enough system exclusives to compile that list. And in the Wii’s case, there’s barely anything on their announced schedule that warrants my playtime.

So, I decided to focus on the Top 10 games releasing this year that have piqued my interest. I’ve broken it up into two posts and listed them in descending order (10 to 1) with the number one title representing the one title that I’ve got to play above all others. Today, you’ll all l...

E3 2008 – The Top 5 Things I Learned from the Sony Press Conference

Wrapping up my three part series recounting my reactions to the E3 2008 Press Conference offered up by the Big Three (Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony), I present the final installment.

For those who have followed along, on Tuesday I posted my thoughts and opinions on Microsoft’s shin dig. Thursday saw my Nintendo reaction. Leaving, of course, Sony. While all three companies devoted time to elements outside of their core consoles (in particular Nintendo covered their DS handheld and Sony the PSP) – I’ve catered my comments towards the consoles. (Uh oh – here comes my 10th Grade English Teacher – aka the Alliteration Police).

Remember, next week I’ll launch a three part series featuring The Top Five Games That I’ve Just Got to Play (per console).

Without further adieu, I present The Top ... Continue reading »

E3 2008 – The Top Ten Games I’ve Just Gotta’ Play in 2008 – Part 1

Last week, I posted a three-part series that documented my reaction to the Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo E3 2008 Press Conferences.

Originally, I had planned to run an additional three-part series this week, aimed at providing my list of the Top 5 Games I’ve Just Gotta’ Play per system in 2008 but in pouring through the announced release dates, I realized that there are not enough system exclusives to compile that list. And in the Wii’s case, there’s barely anything on their announced schedule that warrants my playtime at all. Here’s hoping for some late-inning surprises.

Anyway, I’ve decided to call an audible. While there were plenty of compelling titles announced during the show (MadWorld, Final Fantasy XIII on the 360, inFamous), they all drop sometime in 2009. For the purpose of this piece, I ... Continue reading »

My Top 5 Video Games of 2007

My best pal Sean started a great series on his site last year called ‘The Year in Consumables’ where he offers up multi-part installments aimed at documenting the varied pop-culture entertainments he sampled and enjoyed in a particular year. It’s a great idea. A good way of offering up a Ten Best List for the year or at the very least, letting you readers know what was worth all the time and attention.

I’ve decided to crib from him and offer up my own list. While Sean has also documented his Top Movies and Music for 2007, I’m going to leap off his latest post and offer up a listing of the video games I enjoyed in 2007.

My criteria was simple. The games did not have to be released in 2007 – they just had to be played and completed by me in 2007. That said, I consider ‘Completion’ as making it to the end credits. That’s not to imply that I ... Continue reading »
