It's that time of year again. Winter is rearing its ugly head making life miserable for those idiots still living outside of California, the movies coming out are complete dog-ass (College Road Trip, anyone?) and until March Madness kicks off, the sports scene is pretty barren. One could make the argument the NASCAR just started. To that I would reply: "NASCAR fan, die, but before dying, leave this site immediately. You are not welcome here."
So what the flip am I supposed to predict? When I gaze into my magic crystal dome (aka the Fletch-cot Center), there's not much to see, except the busty Asian women that always seem to appear. One of these days, I need to look into that.
Hold on, something weird is happening in my brain. What the hell is that feeling? Oh, inspiration! Get out of my head. Zounds, gadzooks and egads, that never happens! The whole reason I'm here is to write about chicks, beer, sports and video games. I'm always going on and on about sports and chicks, sometimes I wax poetic about beer/partying, but I haven't really given video games its proper due in this space.
That changes today. This week's 'voyance is going to look at a few upcoming video game releases. Come aboard and we will sail away to the most glorious of places: Videogamica.
XBox360 - Our XBox is f'ing broken right now. I've been staring at this for the past week and it is driving me insane:
Great job, Microsoft. Really, next time you make a next gen console, please make sure it works more than 86% of the time, you rich greedy fucks. So until the system is fixed, there is nothing to look forward to. Sorry, just thinking about it makes me upset.
PS3 - MLB '08 The Show. Give it to me now. I can't wait to see how this game plays. It's been a long time since I've been excited for a baseball game, possibly all the way back to the Triple Play days (aka the TPdees). Also, I'm particularly excited to try out a sports game not made by The Dogshit Factory, better know to the public as EA. Take that Electronic Arts. You are going to have to go through me first if you think you are taking over the world.
Wii - The forgotten system. This poor guy has been sitting on the TV stand for almost a year now and has been played only a handful of times. But that will change once Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out. That is the claim. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen. But I'm fired up for this release. Beating the shit out of someone with this puff-ball is always so satisfying.
DS - My favorite system. Unfortunately, good games are few and far between for this handheld dandy. So there is nothing that I'm looking forward to. Not even Ninja Reflex. And you know that there must be a dearth of options available if a game involving ninjas and reflexes can't get the blood stirring.
That's what I'm looking forward in the next couple of weeks. If I'm missing anything obvious, feel free to leave a comment or just leave me the fuck alone.
