Well... that and especially still studying. Where I have the freedom and time to play games!
The anticipated games for the ending of this year.
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
Wow, it has been around 3 years since I started playing World of Warcraft, back in the days when Molten Core was a big thing all the way until Burning Crusade now. Blizzard will be releasing their 2nd expansion next week. I already preordered mine yargh! If you guys have not heard of World of Warcraft, it is an MMO which takes places in the timeline after Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. You play a character immersed in the world of Azeroth and in their first expansion Burning Crusade; the Outland. If you liked the RTS Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 this game will be a great addition in satisfying your hunger for more game lore. You will actually get to quest and adventure in the geographical setting of Warcraft! I know I was ecstatic upon finding out that I could visit the Dark Portal as well as being able to see famous figures like Tyrande and even Zul'jin.
Wrath of the Lich King shifts back the focus to Arthas who has merged with the Ner'zhul; the lich king and has begun mobilizing his army threatening the existence of Azeroth. Players will now answer the call to quest and level to 80 and beat the lich king up like a pinata and hope he drops phat epic loots that you can use.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Okay, I was initially very excited that they were finally creating a follow up to the Red Alert series. However as time went on and they gradually revealed more information of the game, it seem to have turned into something more comedic than focusing on the action. What makes this game worth a look is that they have outdone themselves this time around successfully getting reasonably famous actors for the characters in the game. Big names like Tim Curry, Jonathan Pryce, George Takei and that dude who played J. Jonah Jameson in the Spiderman movies. What is even more enticing is that they got hot chicks as well. Names like Jenny McCarthy, Kelly Hu, Gemma Atkinson and my favorite of them all, Autumn Reeser. They have really gone far to get famous people to promote their stuff. They even made custom video promotions on youtube as response to frequently watched videos there.
The Hoff endorses this.
Tomb Raider Underworld
Lara Croft is still going strong and she looks way better than before. She is one of the few that look hotter as time goes by. Sadly she isn't real. Tomb Raider Underworld continues off where Tomb Raider Legends finished. As far as I can remember, Lara Croft is trying to discover how to get to the land of Avalon, that of King Arthur's myth where she believes her mother is currently trapped. Prior to Tomb Raider Legend, I hated the Tomb Raider series due to its rigid and crappy controls. Upon reading reviews and promotions about how Tomb Raider Legend would be different from its predecessors, I decided to give it a try. Man did they redeem themselves. The controls were so fluid and intuitive that all you had to worry about is how to solve the level. Now with Tomb Raider Underworld, they promise even more fluid motions and seemingly real that it blends well with the environment. I've seen the screenshots and it does look real promising.

So many games, so many hours required to play them, so little time to do so... Sigh
