Halo is Within Reach

No Comic-Con yet, and perhaps I may never come to it now unfortunately. I’m sorry for promising it so much and yet its not here. Perhaps I’ll feature it in photos of my recent haul in the upcoming posts. Very sorry for that missing update. As you can see things happen a lot. School has been happening so posting is showing up less frequently. So I hope everyone understands the mistakes. Even if I am late on posts I have plenty to update on, I swear.

Everyone’s clear on the big game coming this week? Good. Got it pre-ordered and will only have a few days to wait for it. Until then I have a few other games I rented to keep me occupied. Those include Assassins Creed 2, Halo 3: ODST, and Red Dead Redemption. I do plan to beat Halo 3: ODST before I get Reach by the way. I don’t really want an expansion to be too much in the way when Reach arrives. Even if I’m renting games I’ve wanted to play months (and a year) ago, I still really really want to play Halo: Reach. I needs Halo Fix.

I know have a reason to want a PS3 and it is this:

This is the Swedish retailer box art for both games. I really hope its not the art we will get here. It really doesn’t do justice for the highly artistic style both of these games have. Even then I’m still happy this is coming to the PS3. Ever since the release of God of War 1 and 2 HD for the PS3 I have dreamed and always thought these two games should be next to be converted. And now it is truly coming. I know I should be saving up for the 3DS, but I really want a PS3 now…

Speaking of 3DS, here are some new 3DS Resident Evil screens that Capcom displays using an MT framework engine (don’t ask me, I don’t know what it means either) which supposedly makes things look better on the 3DS. On the right will be a “raw” feed, which apparently was the unfinished version of some sort, and on the left the finished product using their engine which will be used on the 3DS:

 

Looks pretty good. Impressive even. It didn’t change my mind in the first place, but I’m happy with the new graphics engine. Here are also some Street Fighter IV screens. Which may look pixely and a few grain and tears, but think about this: The 3DS screen is smaller than those images so it will look a whole lot better.

Meanwhile in France:

In other news Mario celebrates his 25th anniversary this week. Congrats Mario! But why did you let Nintendo demolish your birth place? Well, Happy Anniversary anyways!

Now finally I was about to show you a really awesome Star Wars Fan short, but then I rather show you this Adam Sessler and Kevin Butler Interview:

Getting Reach? Which of the many versions? Nice to hear you're keeping busy gamewise in the meantime.

I'm happy I'll get a second chance to miss out on playing Ico and go on regretting it until I get a third chance.

I have to personally see the 3DS in action before I decide I want one. But that's probably what's going to happen.

I'm getting the Limited Edition. I wanted Legendary, but I'm short of money and still a good buy.
