Looking Forward for 2010
Well I’ve just about recovered from the Holidays, there’s this migraine that won’t go away and the taste of something dead in my throat but other than that and the massive summit of trash outside on the curb – it’s been a pretty awesome Christmas. We’re very close to the New Year and if only by comparison 2010 is looking to be a Golden Age of Awesome compared to the living nightmare of 2009. Sure this year has had some pretty amazing times but thus far the stress has outweighed the good by a vast margin. So what do you have to look forward to for Spooncraft in 2010? Well half of that relies on you.
The following is a list of all the titles and feature you know 100% will be coming up in 2010 and of that you’ve got my word:
Starcraft 2 – Yes friend the Beta test is imminent and I’m hoping that beta key I submitted damn near 6 months ago is going to rock me in. According to the magic 8-ball it seems that you’re going to get a lot of footage from the Beta event as I record tons of HD gameplay video.
Bioshock 2 – When this Feb. release hits my desktop you’ll see a lot of story spoilers as well as competitive multiplayer videos. Not to mention I’ll be gone for a few days as I bleed my eyes out soaking up every pixel of this soon to be masterpiece.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm – The prospect of playing as a Worgen got me back into the vortex of WoW. I’m actually rally enjoying myself right now as compared to ever before and I have to attest half of that to playing a new class I’ve never touched before (Rogue) and the other half to playing more casually (which means I’m not raiding yet nor plan to for a while) and I’m back on the Alliance with my original crew of cohorts.
APB – If and when this is released expect me to touch some on the game and more than likely buy it and report regular news and other updates. If it turns out to be another Aion flop then it’ll drop off my radar but somehow I doubt that anything can live down to those standards.
The Daily Fap – This feature isn’t going away at all and if anything it’s frequency will be ramped up to a more weekly offering.
Diablo 3 – As always any news and content I can score will be posted here but keep in mind the game is most likely not going to even hit a Beta test until 2011, but we’ll see. I’m still holding a candle for this as my ultimate sequel next to Starcraft.
Blizzcon 2010 – As always if they have one and regardless of where they have one
That about does it for 100% guaranteed games I’ll be playing and features you’ll see. I’m on the fence about Star Wars: The Old Republic simply because the choose your own adventure style of gaming that Bioware loves isn’t something I jive with typically. I personally much prefer to be along for the ride and have it be an amazing and incredible one instead of being forced to pick and choose the little nuances in the story, I think that’s a job for the writer not the player. Unless of course you’re playing Little Big Planet.
So leave a comment or two or ten and list the things you want to see in 2010. What are you most excited about for this coming year and the turn of the decade? The new Metroid game? The new Castlevania title? Dante’s Inferno? Startrek Online? New tech? There’s a ton of new and exciting things coming in the next 12 months, what can’t you wait to experience?
Agreed on Starcraft 2, Cataclysm, and Bioshock 2…. I’m also looking forward Star Trek Online, Mass Effect 2, and Final Fantasy XIII. While I’m also looking forward to Diablo 3, I guess I’ll have to put that on my 2011 list.
Wow for me is a love hate thing so I dread and cant wait for Cataclysm in equal amounts. Ill be levelling though the redisigned old world content with a Hunter, Ive always wanted to try that class, and seeing as they are changing the hunter mana to energy, I’ll be able to relate to the class more seeing as my main is a rogue. :p
I’ll also look forward to Allods Online – Ive been playing the beta a fair bit, and am quite impressed which what I have seen so far. You should give it a try, Spooner, the keys arent hard to get and I think CB starts sometime tomorrow in the US. For a F2P game, IVe never quite seen anything as polished, and many a subsription based game wishes it was this solid in beta. Then again, Aion also gave that impression of engrossing polish in Beta too, so take it all with a pinch of salt. At least, youll never be paying a subscription for Allods.
On the console front, I look forward to God of War 3 and that game from the people who did ICO. I still undecided about FFXIII, the story and voice acting looks absolutely painful from the trailers Ive eseen, but man, all that eyecandy and the gameplay are a big draw. Oh, and I guess Dantes Inferno – sure, its a GoW ripoff, but if its good, like GoW is good, why not? :p
Yesss 2010, the year of good gaming is comming!
Bioshock 2!
Mass Effect 2!
Starcraft 2!
WoW Cataclysm! (WoW 3)
Diablo 3
Daily FAP (rev. 2)!
Yes! As you see, 2010 will be the year of game expansions or game series. Next gen of old games that made us loose so much time in the past that we could have spent getting wasted and having sex in cars, disco’s, parks etc, doing stupid things, braking stuff, getting caught by police, getting high, studying or simply- getting stoned, drunk, and having sex with our 18yr old neighbour girl (smoking hot cheerleader) whos father happens to be a policeman comming back from a short shift…
Thanks God for games!
Im looking forward to Global Agenda. Its like getting TF2 making it MMO and putting in a heap of Multiplayer battlegroundy capture the flag shit.
