Kotaku’s got a list of upcoming titles coming out for 2009. Nothing too spectacular, which is great because I’m still not the most disciplined in holding off on purchasing new games. Gonna see if I can manage to make it all the way to RE:5 in March without buying anything else (though Crystal Chronicles (Wii) and Ninja Blade (360) look noteworthy).

Ya I’m actually gonna hold out for that. I think it’s a cool idea. Though RTSes on consoles generally don’t go over well. Maybe the fact that they made this for a console will change things (i.e. like Halo did for shooters (not sure if Halo is the “first” or anything, but the whole two gun thing + controls made for XBox made that game)).

They also fired the entire studio that made Halo Wars after its completion. It’s pretty hard to overlook that, but maybe it was because they were trying to make the Halo universe into an MMO.

By the way, I was making an epic trail from Los Angeles to Seattle to New York. I was going to own that game.

Yeah Montreal-Toronto turned out to be INCREDIBLY annoying to brandon.
KG and i were basically neck and neck – he had miami, a bunch in the midwest and a big trail around the west because I blocked off denver-santa fe; i had portland over to montreal then down to new orleans and a spur to phoenix. we tied for longest. brandon and billy put in excellent showings as well; we were all pretty close and there was a feeling that only a different few moves or draws would have made it go a different direction. i like games that are balanced like that, where nobody totally dominates, everybody’s doing pretty well. you need a good bunch of players and a good game. we missed ya though.
Tomorrow (friday) – frisbee, then brandon suggested a movie in SLO?

(getting back on topic for a moment) Ya but they’re firing pretty much anyone who isn’t done making a huge A-list title atm. I mean staff is being cut by like 50-100% at a lot of studios/branches. It really doesn’t reflect on Halo Wars since, well, it hasn’t sold so they aren’t getting axed for that.
(back off topic) WTF.
