Skating hobbits and Afro Samurais?
This month is kind of a slow one for gaming, but thankfully we were able to dig up a few games to get you through your post-holiday depression period, some of which are actually pretty good, but none of which are as bitchen’ as the following picture:
Lord of the Rings: Conquest
System: Multi-Platform
Release Date: 1/13
In this action/strategy game, you can take control of either the forces of good or of evil in the battle for Middle Earth. I don’t know why anyone would want to play as a bunch of fruity hobbits, elves and talking trees when you could have orcs, Nazguls, war elephants and the Balrog at your disposal, but at least the option is there, I guess.
Skate 2
System: Xbox 360, PS3
Release Date: 1/21
Skate 2 looks a lot like Skate 1, adding very little to the formula that brought them such great success… Which is probably a good idea, after seeing what happened to Tony Hawk Pro Skater after it added too many bells & whistles for it’s own good (and was subsequently abandoned by the skateboarding community). What this means exactly is that you’ll be pretending to fall down a lot and moving stuff around so you can try to jump off of it and fall down some more. I’m not sure why this is fun, but some people seem to like it. Read the rest of this entry →
