Upcomming Attractions Edition

Things I am looking forward to most this week

Bioshock 2

Bioshock was one of the games that I was looking forward to the most. Even more so when the first game was announced for the PS3. Bioshock 2 will be no different. It's hard to tell how the game will turn out. Much of what made the original Bioshock so unique was it's environment and setting. This time around, Rapture has changed a plenty showing more scars and destruction. All of the prestine and asthetics looks to be gone and replaced with a more post-apocalyptic feel. I'm not one to judge a game before it comes out, but I am excited to play as one of the Big Daddies this time around. You get a Drill. You get a Drill!

If anything, I am also thinking that Bioshock 2 will start a bad habit of me buying stuff that I really don't need. Namely the Vinyl soundtrack containing the first Bioshock's musical score. Most modern people don't have vinyl record players including myself but i'll be dammed if I find one for cheap cause I wanna listen to the soundtrack on a vinyl damnit!


Star Ocean: The Last Hope International

Star Ocean is one of the JRPGs that I've always wanted to get into. Trying to stomach my way through Star Ocean 3 was tough. I don't even think I made it though the first five or so hours. I attribute that to the terrible english dubbing. Perhaps this time around things will be different. I mean Square Enix has shown that it can handle better voice acting now with FFXIII around the corner. Plus, the International Edition of the game features the Japanese language track, something not found on it's Xbox 360 predecessor.

Heavy Rain Demo

With any luck the Heavy Rain demo should not disappoint. I played it at PAX 09 and cannot speak any more highly of it. Not even just the visuals being the way they are, awesome, but the way it's the way the story unfolding that interests me the most. The guys over at Quantic Dream really know what they're getting into with this game and it may sound like a clique by now but if you have a PS3, this is a game that you have to get.
