0 aWelcome and aRebuttal to MSN

Welcome to my blog, where we'll review video games, have console wars, and do whatever anyone wants- remaining appropriate and pertinent, of course.

First order of business: My rebuttal to MSN's Top 5 Most Anticipated Games of 2009 (click here to read the article)

I cannot BELIEVE God of War 3 didn't make the list, but I was also astounded about Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. They make a point of saying the Escape from Buther Bay was an award winning title, but they don't even mention AoDA, and instead focus on yet another racing game. Prototype also deserved mention, as well as Infamous (although I'm not really that interested). Call of Duty will likely see another iteration, as it saw two in 2008.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think that this is such a cop-out list. Final Fantasy XIII is way to easy- at least pick Final Fantasy Versus XIII. And Resident Evil 5, as well; it should have been in a note, "Resident Evil 5 has been left out, as well as Final Fantasy XIII, as these games are already highly anticipated." And I understand the need to include a Wii game, but Super Punch Out? Really? Over Muramasa: Demon Blade? Or Madworld? Madworld would be the PERFECT game to relieve sadness or anger- just ask people play Grand Theft Auto, it's a great way to let your rage run free. Heavy Rain is also a game which people should keep an eye on, as well as the Burnout: Paradise expansion set.

See, there are so many other games... I didn't even mention Darksiders: Wrath of War, Killzone 2, Brütal Legend, Bioshock 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, The Unnamed Crysis Game for Consoles, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Ninja Blade, (I really hate Halo but) Halo: ODST, Halo Wars, Team ICO's Unnamed Playstation 3 Project, Bayonetta, Star Wars: The Old Republic, The Unnamed BigHugeGames RPG, Singularity, Battlefront 3, and many others. You really need to re-evaluate; this list is absolutely pathetic.
