More Video Game Joy

While we have to wait for next year for Mass Effect 2, there are several other HUGE video games getting released this fall. First up is Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to the best selling shooter of all time. It certainly ranks as the best first person shooter in my book. The epic moments are unparalleled in gaming history. And MW2 promises to show us even more. It's developed by the same folks who started the Call of Duty franchise and did the original Modern Warfare game, Infinity Ward. Speaking of Call of Duty, the franchise used to be good... that is until certain other developers started making the games and adding Nazi zombies and other junk. Anyway, Infinity Ward seems to have moved completely to the far superior Modern Warfare franchise. Check out the demo of the game. Keep in mind that all of this is in-game footage and it's all player controlled. These are not cut scenes. This game can't come fast enough.



Second up is the other BioWare game called Dragon Age: Origins. Unlike the other Origins we've experienced this year (*cough* Wolverine *cough*), this, I can almost guarantee you, will be great. I mean, come on, it's BioWare!! They're the same folks who make Mass Effect! Check out the trailer here too.



While we're at the video game trailers thing, check out Assassin's Creed 2, which takes place during the Italian Renaissance.



Oh, and I stumbled across these direct feeds of the Mass Effect 2 demo. Revel in their glory. Note the detailed lighting and better graphics. Smooth framerates. Evolved score. Good god, I cannot wait for this game. Drooooooool.











I would like to end this blog by expressing my undying love for BioWare and the amazing games they produce. :-)
