More games: Bully - Scholarship Edition. If you liked the last Bully game, here's another. I've played the demo for Turning Point - Fall of Liberty. It was actually pretty fun, very atypical story for a WW2 shooter. Another new demo is for Devil May Cry 4. They're trying to return to the original gameplay but it still feels a bit slow and clunky. My favorite demo right now is The Club. It's about an underground "death" sport. You pick one of eight characters who vary in speed, strength, and stamina. Enemies seem to be prisoners who are fighting for their lives, while your goal is to score points by killing them as you accomplish one of six different objectives. It plays like Gears of War and Mercenaries Mode from Resident Evil 4.
GTA4 is coming at the end of Super Duper April, and it looks awesome. It follows TUF and UFC Fight Night on April 2, Jet Li and Jackie Chan's The Forbidden Kingdom on Apirl 18, and UFC 83 on April 19. It's going to be the greatest month ever.
Fallout 3 in summer of 08. It's gonna rawk my cawk off. Described as "massively single-player first person shooter". From what I can gather it seems to be a cross between stop-and-go combat ala Knights of the Old Republic and the sprawling freedom of Oblivion, set in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust for a Mad Max theme. Says lead designer Pagliarulo, "It's so depressing that you have to see the humor in it. If not, you'll lose your mind or slit your wrists. Part of your brain refuses to admit that [the end of civilization] will ever happen, so you have to look at it and laugh. The dark humor of talking to an old lady who's really nice to you, and then you blow her head off, put her head on a counter, and pretend to talk to her... there's a certain charm to that."
NPC's seem to fall into a handful of major archetypes: citizens of self-contained "safe zones" where you originally come from, raiders and scavengers in the wasteland, the irradiated zombie Mutants, and tech-cult Brotherhood of Steel. It's really not that different from the Elder Scrolls franchise, other than that you're using guns instead of sword and sorcery. I can hardly wait.
