E3 2011 Predictions: There can be only one!!

Another year, another Electronic Entertainment Expo… which means things are about to get nuts! Last year I posted up a HUGE MEGA ENTRY for E3 2010… this year it looks like it’s going to be even bigger.

But before we get totally crazy with the E3 2011 entry, it’s time for us to think about what we may or may not see during this years E3. So here we go…

The sensation you are feeling is the quickening…

Denying me my video games? We’ll see about that!

Damn, I’ve really been neglecting the site lately. Don’t blame me though, I’m a uni student and education is important and all that kinda jazz…

This entry actually comes from a strange memory that popped into my head earlier today about a time when I was nine years old. At that age you’re dependant on your parents for a hell of a lot of things such as the number of video games you’re able to own. For me, I was restricted to getting video games during my birthday, Christmas or hiring them from the video store… though not always.

Ah, childhood memories of video games…

Wii 2 predictions

Recently there’s been rumours going around about Nintendo revealing something about the successor to Wii at E3 2011… which isn’t that far away now.

It’s always fun to speculate stuff and I thought I’d start a discussion regarding what you think Nintendo will do with their next generation console, what you think they should do and what you think they should avoid doing. I know there are heavily divided opinions of Wii so I think this’ll end up being quite interesting…

We know nothing about it, but it’s fun to guess…

Game Spotlight: Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars 3D

At first, I was pretty bummed out about the Australian launch line-up for the 3DS, however I did get one game that I think has made getting a 3DS at launch worth it…

I’m not really a big fan of the Tom Clancy series of games released by Ubisoft, and to be honest this is the first Ghost Recon game I’ve ever played. That said, I do realise that Shadow Wars (with “3D” attached to the end for the Australian release for some reason…) isn’t like other Ghost Recon games. Instead, it is a tactical role playing game more along the lines of Nintendo’s Advance Wars or Fire Emblem… which is great for me since I’m a pretty big fan of both of those series.

Ah! Ghosts! *runs away*

All we need is MA15+

So the ongoing “discussion” as to whether Australia needs an R18+ rating continues… and I’m starting to realise I’m growing very bored of this entire thing and am starting to realise how pointless it actually is.

Of course, I’m not saying this in a “woe is me, for the government will never acknowledge that gamers are adults” kind of way… I’ve actually come to the realisation of the obvious. We’re not getting an R18+ rating down here because we really don’t NEED it to begin with… though not for the reasons the people who oppose the rating for video games in this country would have you believe.

No, really! Just hear me out on this one…
