The Ones to Watch For, July and August


The Ones to Watch For




Alright, so let's get back to some video games here, shall we? Here's the games that are coming out in July and August that I feel need to be kept an eye on:

StarCraft II - Wings of Liberty - PC - 7/27/10


I'm not an RTS fan, but Blizzard makes a damn good RTS. I'm a little wary about how this one will be received, especially when we look at how South Koreans play the original to this day in televised matches, but like I said, Blizzard makes a damn good RTS. One last thing stands out in my mind on this, didn't they say that this game was going to be divided into three parts? Is that still true? Hm. We'll see how this one pans out.

Madden NFL 11 - Multi-Platform - 8/10/10
Again, this one isn't for me, but you can't ignore the juggernaut that is the Madden franchise. Every year they put out a new one with a new roster and some new feature and every year it gets eaten up by the fanatics. And the platforms this game is coming out on, look at that picture up there, that's for the PS2. You know, that half dead console all of us have sitting in our basements or little brother's bedrooms? Yeah, it's still getting games, specifically this one. There should be something wrong with that.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days - Multi-Platform - 8/17/10
Nah, not really. I just wanted to see if I could get some cash thrown my way for promoting it. Look forward to seeing crappy ads plastered all over your favorite gaming sites soon to remind you that they can get people fired for posting opinionated reviews. Unless they want to get on the videogamingat30.com action, if you do, send me an email and we'll talk. I like money.


Metroid: Other M - Wii - 8/31/10
The latest reason to dust of the Wii, Metroid: Other M, looks like it could be a great game. Coming from Team Ninja, expectations are high that Samus is going to have some amazing moves and this could possibly bring Metroid into its next generation. Keep your fingers crossed, I'm hoping for the best.
