the New Year has rung in, and also a New Decade. i wish that this year we would concentrate on the "new decade" part more; it feels more revolutionary, and more like we're turning over a new leaf. a "new year" just feels like another year in the long strain of years we've been living before, but a "new decade". . . it's a brand new
decade!
eh, i dunno.
of course, like everyone else, i've made "new years resolutions"; which - to me, at least - just seems like more standards i can have a chance at missing, but maybe this year i'll be more motivated. one of my new years resolutions is to get better at gaming. i know it's an odd resolution, but i feel like my lack of control with the two-joystick design of 360 and PS3 controllers really gets in the way of my gaming experience. and since 1) i work at a game store, and thus should be educated and 2) since i play games as an artistic experience i feel like is should 1) a. be able to relate better to my clientele by playing more games, better, and 2) a. be able to better "communicate" with the game designers. all of these goals i can meet by being a better gamer.
it will be really easy, though, since there are a TON of new, incredible games for me to play. i still need to finish Assassin's Creed II, and Bayonetta, Mass Effect II, Bioshock II, and Dante's Inferno are all coming out within the next few months. (the only thing that troubles me about this list is how many games are sequels. . .) not to mention the fact that Final Fantasy XIII comes out in just a few short months, as well.
i played the demo for Dante's Inferno and i was blown away. i highly doubt that many fans here in the Forest would be interested in it, considering it's dark, and highly twisted nature. but if anyone else has played it, let me know what you think! i love discussions
the only problem about playing the demo is that now i want to play the full game, and that doesn't come out for another month.
