So here I talk about what upcoming game announcements caught my eye and what I've been playing.

Pokemon X/Y

So if you discount Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness for the GameCube (I like the former a lot), the series is finally going into 3D territory. Not bad I must say. The third Pokemon game (ala Yellow for NA/EU, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum) jokingly predicted in this new gen... Pokemon Z (oh you know where this is going).

LEGO Marvel

Perhaps the weirdest announcement I've heard today. I mean, not that I wouldn't play it (I so would), but weird in the sense that the company who owns DC comics and Tt games is publishing a game... with Marvel superheroes and supervillains. It's also weird in the sense that it's usually Activision who publishes Marvel's stuff (few exceptions).

What I've been playing: Perfect Dark Zero (360), LEGO Lord of the Rings (360), Eternal Darkness (GameCube)

LEGO LOTR- Already beat the Fellowship of the Ring chapters and I cleared three levels of Frodo, Sam, and Gollum/Smeagol's part of the Two Towers, now working on Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's part. In the matter of achievements, I've gotten the most out of this game.

Perfect Dark Zero- From what I've played so far of the campaign (finished the mission where Jack Dark gets captured) and multiplayer (bots only), it really isn't the s***fest most PD fans say it is. Looks like Joanna, despite releasing first, will have a "Metroid: Other M" situation with me.

Eternal Darkness- Quite an enjoyable mix of horror and trolling. I can see why it has it's cult following, but right now I'm stuck on a REALLY annoying boss fight and the combat system really isn't all that great.
