Hey there, folks. It's certainly been an interesting summer for gaming... Well, for me, that is. I've been waiting for a long time for StarCraft 2 and I had plenty of fun playing both single-player and mutliplayer modes. Of course, the multiplayer takes a lot of practice and, man, there are some insanely good players out there (some cheaters as well... fucking map-haking turds).

Anyway, Mafia 2 - played that one as well. Not bad. Halo: Reach was bloody awesome (expected more interesting storyline, but otherwise, an extremely challenging and entertaining shooter).

Hm, what else? Oh yeah, I played the new H.A.W.X. 2 and it turned out to be a bit boring. Well, at least from my point of view. Sort of enjoyed the first one, but the sequel feels a bit bland.

Now, I'm looking forward to Civilization V and Dead Rising 2 (which arrives this week).

Oh hell yeah, baby! It's another one of them live action trailers for Halo: Reach. No scenes of action or Covenants shootouts in this one, but it is a rather effective teaser isn't it?

The game is gonna be available for Xbox 360 next week (Sept. 14).

Nice. Short. But nice.

I've played through the single-player campaign and the damn thing is short. Microsoft expects over 3 million people to participate in the upcoming Halo: Reach beta. And yes in order to gain access you have to buy a Halo 3: ODST. Now, it's not a bad game, but it amazes me how many people actually bought it - during the first two weeks, ODST sold over 2.5 mill. Let's be fair, it's single-player campaign is very short and it carried a full retail price.

Anyway, after so many years Halo is still one of Microsoft's top 360-exclusive franchises and, by the look of things, it will continue to be as successful in future.
