I need to take a break from writing the short story I'm writing... so I'll write here instead!

Oh, by the way, if you haven't read the first story in my blog, read it now: link

I play video games. Some may say I play too much. However, November is shaping up to be one of the most blockbuster-stuffed months in recent (and maybe not-so-recent) years. Even though I only have a Wii, I'm still very excited, as all gamers should be. Here's just a sampling of the biggest releases:

Nov 4:
-EndWar (PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360)
-Resistance 2 (PlayStation 3)
-Valkyria Chronicles (PlayStation 3)
Nov 7:
-Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)
Nov 11:
-Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (Xbox Live)
-Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 (Xbox 360)
-Call of Duty: World At War (PC, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360) biggrin
-Mirror's Edge (PlayStation 3)
Nov 13:
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (PC)
Nov 17:
-Left 4 Dead (PC, Xbox 360)
Nov 18:
-Tomb Raider: Underworld (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PC, Mobile phone, N-Gage 2.0)
-Sonic Unleashed (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360) biggrin
Nov 20:
-The Last Remnant (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)

So, mucho games coming out. I was discussing with a friend earlier today, and I pointed out that, because of the economical crisis, this could go two ways. One, the cash shortage/sheer number of games will cause most people to choose one or two on the list, and the game developers lose the chance for big bucks. Two, everyone makes the effort to buy as many as possible, and the resulting cash flood boosts the economy back on its feet. Less possible, but still...

I wish the Wii got a couple more of these, but my DS has been collecting a little dust, and the games I haven't completed should keep me over until Christmas. The odds of a 360 magically appearing under the Christmas tree seem to be improving, so there's still hope.
