T-Minus One Month
by gamer_152
It's January 24th and it now really feels like we're well into 2009. In fact there are some release dates coming up that I'd forgotten about that now seem much sooner than I thought they were. There's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2, coming out on February 20th, The Sims 3 on the same day and Halo Wars on the 27th. I suppose it's all a month away but I'm hyped for some of this stuff.

It's January 24th and it now really feels like we're well into 2009. In fact there are some release dates coming up that I'd forgotten about that now seem much sooner than I thought they were. There's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2, coming out on February 20th, The Sims 3 on the same day and Halo Wars on the 27th. I suppose it's all a month away but I'm hyped for some of this stuff. Still as much as I enjoyed Dawn of War and as many hours as I put into The Sims 1 and 2 I don't think I'll be getting either on launch day and with all the half-finished games I have at the moment I don't know how I'd fit them all in anyway. This week I've played Halo 3, The Sims 2, Soul Calibur IV and a little Rock Band 2 and Fable 2.
I was also considering getting the new DLC for Fable 2 but from what I've heard from various people it's really not worth it. It seems to be 800 points for one hour of gameplay and I think I have to agree with all the people saying it would be better if was marked down to 400 points but I don't think that's very likely to happen.
I also took more of a look at The Sims 3 this week and my opinion before was kind of that it looked like a good game but it didn't look like the great game that the first and second installations of the series were but after taking a bit more of an in-depth look into it and comparing it to its predecessors I'm now thinking that I might have underestimated it. Although there's still that little problem I had when switching from Sims 1-2 which will most likely strike again which is that without about 3 expansion packs jammed on the back of the game it feels like a comparatively content-devoid wasteland and so I have to make the choice between going and and spending my money on disc after disc of expansions or play a smaller game. This won't stop me from getting Sims 3 and it's not something EA or Maxis can really be blamed for but it's still an annoying fact.
Thank you all for readig my blog this week and I'll leave you with what can only be described as
