Wow from around the Net: Videogames

For so long I considered myself to be a gamer, a true gamer not one of these call of duty only gamers. As time went on I found that I had less and less time to sit with controller in hand beating bosses and completing levels. In the last couple months however I have witnessed my gaming time diminish down to a state of nonexistence.

This makes me sad because there are so many games that I still want to sit down and give a good run through. Every gamer out there can tell you he or she has a genre of game that they prefer to play above all others. As for me, my favorite genre was the Action RPG’s or platformers that existed in fantastic fantasy worlds.

Even with all my gaming time diminished I like to keep an eye on the new games that are up and coming in hopes that I will one day be able to play them once again. So the following are some trailers for the video games that I would really like a chance to play.

The Unfinished Swan

This is a new game that looks like it could be like Caroline in concept with a splash of American Magee’s Alice for game play. I will say this for sure it looks very appealing and the concept of it being inside the imagination of a child seems like it could be fun as always.

Avengers Battle For Earth

With all the movies done by marvel as of late it is no surprise to me that they are releasing a game to go along with it. With the looks of this trailer I am hoping that it is a beat-em-up and not a fighting game, there are enough Street Fighters if you want to play a fighting game.

Tokyo Jungle

Off the top of my head I can’t really think of any other games like this, well at least none that I have ever had a chance to play. An animal survival game platformer seems new and exciting and is on my list of games that I need to give a shot.

Finally the one that looks like a blast

Deadpool the Game

Deadpool is one of my favorite characters that until recently has been severely under recognized. This game looks like it will be a blast to play and I may be laughing so hard I have to pause the game to clean the pee outta my pants. Best of all is how this game was announced at the San Diago Comic Convention, check out the video it is a little long but so worth it.

There are others that look interesting but these are the ones as of recently that I want to give a go.

What If Wednesdays: Superheroes

What If? So many questions start with those two words, and we all say it especially all of the dreamers, and the neigh sayers too. Every week I try to come up with the best what if's and give five answers to what I would do or who would I be or where would I go. Life is filled with people saying if, it seems like everyday people are always saying if this were to happen or if that were to happen. Well here is me taking all those ifs and saying to myself well I guess in that situation I would want this to happen. This weekend here in good old Calgary is the Calgary Comic Expo, I look forward to this all year and for this week it is pretty much the only thing on my mind. As most of my free time is spent putting the finishing touches on my costume and excitedly tittering about who is going to be there and how amazing it going to be. I decided that since comics and geekyness are the number one topics in my world right now I figured that a very geeky what if was in need for this week. Here it is: "If I could be any super hero who would I be?" For all of those who know me they know how much of a massive marvel fanboy I am, so for those of you who don't personally know me will soon discover consider yourself warned. 1. Wolverine Yes I know that he is the number one known marvel superhero but he is my absolute favorite, so he is my first choice for a superhero. As I have stated before my reason for liking wolverine is not because of his claws, which are still freaking badass, but it is because of his amazing healing ability. I love the idea of being able to just heal any wound and to be quite honest if I had the ability I would be doing a lot of crazy extreme sports. 2. Spiderman Swinging from building to building by webs would by thrilling, feeling the wind rush through my hair as I seemingly free fall in the streets. I have always wanted to be as spry and acrobatic, too move around the way Peter Parker does when is wearing the red mask is something that has always appealed to me. That and being able to straight climb up a wall all crazy girl from the exorcist would be too much fun and a great joke to play on your friends when they are super drunk. 3. Colossus Skin of steel, ya what is not to like because seriously what is not cool about that? You would be a living breathing tank, being completely invulnerable to damage you could walk in and out of every kind of bad situation basically the ultimate super hero. 4. Nightcrawler Poof here and Poof there Poof every where, I would have so much fun just popping up all over the place and scaring the living shit out of people would also be beyond entertaining. The best part about it however would be looking like a blue freaking demon, yup I would do a lot of awesome things looking like that. But let us not forget about his amazing prehensile tail, hasn't everyone always wanted a freaking amazing monkey tail. 5. Iron Man Billionaire playboy with a super suit that is packed to the teeth with gadgets and gizmos. I like the idea of a super hero whose only amazing ability is that he is a genius. The idea that with alot of money and hard work anybody could be a superhero.
