Metal Gear Solid: Rising looks beautiful

I think one of the best games this year will be Metal Gear Solid: Rising. The game looks like a military version of "Shinobi" and "Ninja Gaiden". It also has some epic "God of War" type mechanics. Top it off with the cinematic feel of Metal Gear. This game is amazon. You play as Raiden, and slice and dice everything (and I mean everything) with your sword. In the trailer Raiden slices a van completely in haft. That's sick! In the gameplay video Raiden thresh a Metal Gear with some ninja like "Kratos" tactics. The graphics are also beautiful. Please check this title coming July 2012.

    

Hitman: Absolution

The new Hitman game looks absolutely amazing. Hitman: Absolution graphics look so good that I thought it was sequel to the movie. It even look like Agent 47 got some new tricks under his sleeve. Sense he dyed and came back to life in the last game I think he got some type of Batman vision or something. Anyway the game looks awesome. I highly advise you to run to to Gamestop and reserve this title now.

God of War: Ascension

I just found out from ign.com that God of War 4 is not going to be tilted God of War 4. It is going to carry the title God of War: Ascension. Hmmmm what does "Ascension" mean? Well the first definition is the act of ascending, which mean upward movement or rising movement. Then ever other definition basically mean something raising or advancing up. Now on the teaser trailer the voice gives a lot of hints of the storyboard setting of GoW: Ascension, so listen good.

Shout out to IGN, I heard it there first.

Family Guy online MMO

Wow, Family Guy is doing it big. The series is really "in it to win it ". Seriously, They have a (MMO)  massive multiplayer online game. They might as well make South Park one too (opinion). However, it don't look too bad. The graphics can get annoying, but if you really look at it, it really look like your in Quahog. You pick your fighting class or (they call it) character class. You create your character. Then you run around Quahog talking crap, and doing missions for the main characters of the show. You can also fight other players. The combat is ok (needs some work). I do not recommend this game to the serious gamer, but it is ok for a average person to play. Because I dont think it is going to accumulate the amount of people needed to make the game fun. but, who knows? Its still in Beta testing.

God of War 4 coming September 2012

God of War fans rejoice! God of War IV is on its vary bloody way. According to IGN GoW 4 has been on the web for a while now. They said GoW 4 was first revealed by a New Zealand games retailer back in November of 2011. They even said Sony promised a game reveal April 19, 2012. PSM3 have a release date of September 2012 for GoW 4. It is a lot of rumors saying GoW 4 is going to support multiplayer gameplay. According to Godofwarsource.com the multiplayer is between dead Kratos and his dead brother Deimos. This risky change can "make or break" GoW 4. However, God of War fans are extremely excited for the upcoming title. I am! Checkout the God of War 4 trailer I found on Youtube.

Resident Evil 6 coming November 20,2012

For the big Resident Evil fan. I know you've been waiting. Resident Evil 6 is coming. You might want to wait before you turn into a zombie because this game looks sick! We have the biggest hero from RS 2 and 4 Leon in the mix, and our man from RS 1 and 5 Chris Redfield. I'm not going to go into the story so much but it sounds crazy and unpredictable. The game is going to play like RS 4 with its cinematic feel.
At first when I start watching the trailer, and Leon was in that dark room. He yell "Mr. President!". I was like, oh no! They turned Obama into a zombie!? Then I watched it again and realized it wasn't him. I see the game is bigger then one city now. I think the graphics could be a little better (opinion). At the end of the trailer it got me with a movie feel, but a actually like RS enough to enjoy looking at the game as a movie, so I think this game going to be amazing. Resident Evil 6 hit stores November 20, 2012.

Assassin's Creed 3 coming Oct.30, 2012

 Every time I play Assassin's Creed it seems like I'm getting a virtual history lesson. AC3 seem like it will be taking place in a more relevant event (The American Revolution). Now, The American Revolution took place between 1775 - 1783, however I don't think the game run through that whole time line.
Based on the American flag on the cover, I think the game will take place somewhere between 1777 - 1778 because the flag America had at the beginning of the war was different from the one we see on the cover. Not saying that it can start at the beginning of the war and change as the game progress, I'm just stating my opinion. We can expect to see famous faces such as George Washington, Ben Franklin and John Adams. We may even see cities like Philadelphia, New York and Boston, so this game is going to be big. I'm super excited to explore the former versions of the cities I know and love. Lookout for Assassin's Creed 3 for Xbox360, PS3 and PC on October 30, 2012.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria updates!

 
WoW Mists of Pandaria looks to me like the biggest expansion sense "Burning Crusade". The guys at Blizzard are so good at this. They are adding loads of new features to the world of Azeroth. First off they are adding a new race and new class. The race is a panda called a Pandaren, and the new class is the monk class. The Pandaren can be apart of Alliance or Horde, you decide at level 10. The monk class is basically a healer who can do hand to hand combat vary well. They are adding a feature called pet combat! This will basically run like Pokaman (seriously). You will be able to name, level, dress and catch pets of your choice. Yes, I said catch. There will be wild pets that you can battle with your own pet and snag them. That feature alone brings hours of collecting and bragging. They are also adding a new continent for the starting zone of the Pandaren with 4 other zones. It is freaking huge. They made it so you cannot get a flying mount until you mix level your character and the new mix is 90, so you can run around and really checkout the art of WoW. They added a awesome story around the new land, filled with plenty of enemies, plenty of concepts and plenty of fun. There is no release date yet, but expect it soon. I'm am so excited. Go Blizzard!
