Well take a look at that. Not one day and we see the emergence of a bundle. And this was after some big wig at Sony said no bundles and no backward compatibility. I guess he was just doing his job of deflecting questions the best way he could. Very poor liar. Any way, this first bundle is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise. The 120gb slim comes with the game titled Gundam Senki. I believe after one of the latest animes. This is only available in Japan for now.

Are these games real. Or are the just “Tech Demo’s”?

Microsoft is milking the franchise cow. And more milk is coming in 2010

2010 will bring some of the most amazing games of this generation. But surprisingly we will see quite a few action adventure games. I’d like to single out three of these games. Each game comes out one of the first three months in 2010. January, February, and March. These games have been selected for the violence, story and game content. For me, all 3 are MUST BUYS!!!!! One of these brutal games is exclusive to the PS3. Usually there is a small drought for go games after Christmas. But 2010 brings the new year in swinging and killing everything.

January 1, 2010:

Darksiders: A new game by Vigil. Created from the mind of comic book great, Joe Madureira. The story is about War one of the four horsemen.  Betrayed he seeks to restore the Balance after the end of Days. Nearly a cross between to God of War and Zelda, we can look for Darksiders to be that new ip that will stand out from every other game like it. The role playing elements are welcome. And the story is looking great.

Dante’s Inferno: Not familiar with the Divine Comedy. This game doesn’t look funny at all. Not even sick comedy. Out of the three Dante’s Inferno is the most disturbing. You must circumvent the 9 circles of Hell. And each circle worst than the last. The game play is as Darksiders similar to God of War. Although Dante uses one weapon with surprising versatility. He also implements the power of a Holy Cross. It looks amazing. Just the  shear scope of the insanity is breath taking.

March 2010:

God of War 3: The game that really started it all for last generations action adventure genre. The final chapter in Kratos story. After being used and betrayed by the Gods time and again; Kratos will tajke the fight to the very gates of Mount Olympus. With the help of the Titans,  surely Kratos will have his much desired revenge. This is an event we have eaited long for. If not patiently. Sony is keeping this baby close to the vest. Nothing is known outside of the demo they’ve been showing, And we can’t get the exact date nailed down yet. But with the amont of marketing going behind this title, you can expect God of War 3 to be more than we’re expecting. I’ll let you in on my thoughts as the launch date draws closer.

I LOVE INSOMNIAC!!!!!!!!!!!!
