Upcoming Games

2007 was definitely an amazing year for games. Mass Effect, Assassin’s Creed (arguably), Bioshock, Halo 3, Super Mario Galaxy, The Organge Box, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank: Tools Of Destruction, Call Of Duty 4 are just a few titles released that year that stood out. And that sheer quantity is no mean feat. But what can we look forward to this upcoming year? Well, us Brits are slightly behind the American market with Super Smash Bros. Brawl being released tomorrow and No More Heroes and Rock Band out way before their European release dates. I hate this country…

But anyway, here are the games that I’m most looking forward to (and some that simply have a lot of potential) this upcoming year (and beyond)…

I will say quickly to take the anticipation ratings with a pinch of salt.  They are relative to the games I’m looking forward to, not all games that are coming out.

A Zelda Movie

I have blogged over at a awesome gaming site called GameTrailers a number of times and this is one of the blogs I wrote, the subject of which should be pretty obvious:

Yep, it’s been muttered about on gaming forums and suchlike for years and many think it would simply disgrace the series in its transition to the big screen, but I plan on undertaking the writing of an entire Zelda movie script. Whether it happens not is an entirely different proposition! So where exactly do I begin? With some of the movie logistics methinks and most importantly of all would be: should Link speak? Despite causing an inevitable backlash within the Zelda community I think inevitably that Link would have to speak. Having him not would limit the emotional attachment greatly between the audience and the character. So yeah, Link will speak.

Welcome

So this is my traditional welcome post, welcoming you all to the wonderful world of Headshot, a video games blog run by me, Hazzard. Or Hazzard1988 as I am sometimes forced to be called. I’ve been gaming since I was God-only knows how young and it’s the one hobby that I’ve continually taken part in since my inception within it. So you could say that I’m fairly well versed in the language of the video game geek. Go me. My experiences in gaming began back in the day when my Grandparents bought me a Sega Master System with Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in and Sonic 2 to go alonside it. Nope, not the insanely awesome Sonic 2 on the Mega Drive, but the pretty awful version on my aforementioned new console. But to me, currently in the process of losing my gaming cherry, it was a quality experience. And thus my geekdom began.
