Heller's Desk Vol #7
Another week with NO releases is giving me a lot more time to clear my desk of the backlog of games I've been wanting to spend some time with. For me I sat down and finally finished off Dead Space on the Xbox 360, and I have to say it was seriously the freakiest game I've played. The shadows and lighting effects, and the incredible sound make the environments feel so real, that it's literally bed-wettingly good!
Gaetano and I set aside a day to write up a big fancy Retrospective for Mybluray on the Alien Franchise. For those of you who don't know, the original Alien movie came out in 1979 and is one of the most important horror/sci-fi movies to have been released of all time. We have set out the facts for each movie, given you the plot line and backstory and even thrown in a review on each movie. Check it out here
The first game to break the drought that I'm truly excited about is Skate 2 from EA. When the first game was released I was over the moon, and I did nothing but skate the streets for the next 8 months. The freedom the player was granted was phenomenal, and Skate 2 promises to bring all that, and much much more when it is released Jan 22nd on the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. Check out our excitement guide over here
But now we are into 2009 you can get excited because we have some new content on the way! The next episode of The Voice is being recorded for next week, and we are also recording another Retro-Grade segment on another classic console that paved the way for the consoles we have today! On top of that filming is almost complete of Episode 2 of Fighting the Good Fight, so you will be able to see what Justin Potter has been up to over the past few weeks after he tried to ban F.E.A.R 2!
