    In reply to 2010: The Year of Better PC Games?
    I remember playing Star Craft a good ten years ago and thinking it was the greatest thing in the world. Then my friend said to me, "You know they're making a second one?!"

    "Whoa!" I exclaimed in prepubescent joy, "I can't WAIT for it!"

    Little did I know, I WOULD have to wait for it...a very very long time.

    @Solid2TheSnake: Thing is its looking like it may be very much as if SCII came out 10 years ago but with the benifit of better graphics.
    Seriously Blizzard can forget 10 years of RTS advancement happened and rake in millions on SCII. The joy of been Blizzard I guess.

    It's actually looking to be a pretty good year for PC gamers. While not much in the way of exclusives (that I know about) there's still plenty of multiplatform gold to be had.

    BioShock 2, Mass Effect 2, Mafia II, Rage, Assassin's Creed II, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alien vs Predator and Bad Company 2 will all be gracing my PC this year.

    The I'll be checking out TOR, Call of Pripyat, Final Fantasy XIV and a few others as well.

    Also, I thought Alan Wake was canned on PC? Or at least put on the back burner?

    In reply to You're A Gamer In 2010...What Will You Do?
    As a gamer this year, I'll do a better job of monetarily supporting business practices that align with what I want to see in the future.

    1) I will not buy used games.

    2) I will buy digital when I have the option.

    3) I will continue to avoid cheap, plastic peripherals.

    4) I will purchase all of *gulp* the games that my friends work on.

    5) I will not buy games on a fancy, just because I feel like it, when my backlog is substantial.

    6) Speaking of that backlog... I will catch up on it.

    Does it sound like I want to waste money? We all are, but as long as I'm wasting it on video games anyway, I might as well waste it in a way that best promotes better games in the future.

    Can't wait for Alan Wake. That's my most hyped up game for next year (on the PC, unless Valve pulls an Episode 3 out of their hat).

    Try and get, at the very least, a part time job, so I can afford health insurance, food, AND videogames. Graduating from college sucks. Can't afford more schooling that would actually matter, can't get a job with the schooling I have.

    Sigh. Without Diablo 3, it's just a long string of FPSes and MMOs. PC gaming isn't dead, but it's definitely in a coma.

    2009 I plan on playing "Catch Up." My Wii and DS haven't been cold much lately so I will most likely continue to play them. I also have a bit of gaming influence (if you will) over my girlfriend and I foresee me getting her a few games as "just because" gifts.

    In reply to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Preview: Seriously. Come Back Here With My Tank!
    Choosing support class and running around with a tank (on some maps) is my golden key to success. There is nothing that angers me more than jumping out to repair it and having some newjack run off with it. I won't blow it up because I'm not a fan of team killing, but I do find incredible joy in seeing the damaged tank destroyed easily and quickly by an enemy.

    edit: The above is all based on the first BF:BC. Which I am STILL not tired of.

    In 2010, I'm finally going to cave and buy and Xbox 360 largely because of Mass Effect 2. I don't have a PC powerful enough for smooth gameplay. And I don't want anything interrupting my experience of that game.

    The PS3 will continue to get the lion share of my attention because I'm just loyal to Sony.

    And finally, I swear the kids in that picture are having a PS3 vs Xbox playoff cos to my bespectacled eyes it looks like the girls are holding PS3 controllers...oh well.

    In reply to 2010: The Year of Better Nintendo DS Games?
    on second note, why doesnt nintendo combine the dsiware/wiiware store?

    sony pretty much does it, and msft could easily have added buttons on the zune hd and had an excellent portable.

    i think it would be cool to have something like dq IX stored on your wii (esp if it had an hdd), and when you played it on the ds.. the save would transfer. so those of us who would like to play it on the tv when at home could do so.

    @Demonbird: hey, the higher your pixel count the better. You shouldn't be pissing standard deffinition anymore.

    At least 720 pee, or 1080 pee if you can.

    Well I'll still be buying games I guess :P Not really going to stop buying. Hardware I may be pimping up my PC a bit. Might get myself a decent sized HDTV finally, but that's if I manged to get a job on the side.
    Got a bumper crop for the start game wise. Still got a few odds n sods from this year to finish.

    I guess a new addition in 2010 that wasn't really around for '09 was Kotakuites Steam group n co, so gonna work on them. Could be onto something big.
    Got the blog with the guys up and running too, so that'll be an intresting side project as a gamer.
