My thoughts on E3: Part 2

Well, we're continuing so let's go...




1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Bethesda) 


The Elder Scrolls as back and this time things look more bad ass then ever. Before Oblivion I was never a big Elder Scrolls guy, but now I'm waiting in anticipation for what Bethesda has for us this time. The open world gameplay is still in of course, but now we no longer have the class system. Instead we have the skill trees which contain at least 280 perks that can be upgraded by the player over time, allowing you to have a different play through each time you play a new character. Along with a forge system and duel wielding your also going to be a "Dragonborn" character which will allow you to talk and use the abilities of different dragon races. And I follow the belief that dragon make everything cooler.



2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (Activision)
-Call of Duty has to be one of the most well known and historical FPS's ever. And with the final chapter of the Modern Warfare saga coming to a close in MW3, it's only going to get more fame. In the third game you have one objective, kill Makorv and end this war between Russia and the US before things go nuclear. You'll be fighting in total warzones all over the world from the US to Europe and finally the mother land herself. Soap and Price return as well as new characters in the Delta and SAS. No new word on multiplayer yet, but I think it's already rested assured that things will be more epic then the last game. Let's see if MW will break sales records again sometime this fall.



3. XCOM (2K Games)
I don't know why, but the idea of having a sci-fi horror in the fifties just interests me.



4. DmC: Devil May Cry (Capcom)
I, like many others, was pissed at the sight of a black haired Dante. However I soon learned this was an Origin Story and I calmed down. Although it's a work in progress, not much seems to have changed from DMC other then new weapons and art style. I'll just have to wait till more info is given before really judging it.


5. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (EA)
EA really loves it's dark fantasy. Reckoning is interesting because of the people involved in it. You got lead designer Ken Rolsen (Elder Scrolls III and IV), with writer R.A. Salvatore (Forgotten Realms novels) creating the universe and lore and Todd McFarlane (Spawn) as the artist. With a team like this and the idea that it's like "God of War meets Oblivion" it's going to have my interest for awhile.




6. Street Fighter x Tekken (Capcom)
Dude, just watch the trailer and take it all in...



7. Luigi's Mansion 2 (Nintendo)
Had to get a Nintendo in here of course. The sequel to one of the best Gamecube games, Luigi's Mansion is more puzzle based and now you get to go to other mansions instead of just one big one. Capturing ghosts however is still the main objective, but now you got and assistant and it's...TOAD!? Great....


8. Journey (Sony)
Your a robed character in a desert with other online robed characters. You can't speak or text to each other and you don't know their names, but your suppose to help each other in a vast desert with only a large mountain in the distance that you much reach with no map or sense of direction. Considering this is from the same people who gave us Flow and Flower...I don't know what to expect but I want to find out!

More coming up! I got to play FEAR 3!
