Looking forward to E3 2011

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

It’s almost time for E3, where the Gaming studios release lots of new info, screenshots and videos from the games they are working on.

This year I only got a few games I’m following:

X-Com (2K Games/Take-Two):
Huge fan of the original X-Com games, but so far I’ve been unimpressed by the video (the black blob being chased around). But hopefully some more interesting gameplay footage will be released.

Battlefield 3 (Electronic Arts):
Not really a huge FPS gamer, but I enjoyed Bad Company 2 alot, and Battlefield 3 looks awesome.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Bethesda):
Never finished Oblivion (was not a huge fan of the combat system), but if time permits I might play Skyrim.

Dead Island (Deep Silver):
Got noticed for their really awesome trailer, but not so sure about the game itself. Seems like Left 4 Dead with minor RPG elements added. And it seems to focus very much on melee combat, and afraid it will be to much of a hack and slash game (not a fan).

Star Wars: The Old Republic (Electronic Arts):
Saved the best piece for last.. I hope they will provide LOTS of new information, and gameplay from the latest builds. This is the game I’m looking the most forward to as of 2011, and I’m definitely going to play it when it’s released.

October gaming

I recently tried out Warhammer online, and played a Bright Wizard to lvl12.

But I’ve decided not to start the subscription when my 1 month is up. I like the pvp part, and the pvp “battlegrounds” where fun, but not Altarac Valley fun. The fact that you can level up by doing pvp was pretty cool, but the quests and stuff didn’t really do it for me like World of Warcraft did.

It’s also a matter of time, I’m currently playing Ufo AI (a free game based on the old X-com games) and tomorrow I’m getting my Far Cry 2 copy.

I also recently downloaded the demo for a game called World of Goo which is really awesome and addictive.
