squidpunch and ymiris get together to prove we aren’t dead.  Just talking about the gaming we have been doing and what we have been up to lately.  No E3 discussions really though (this was recorded before that) – next week we will probably voice some opinions on that – and Ant should be back in action. 

Enjoy

Well I am back from vacation but going in a billion different directions – but with the Microsoft press release I wanted to get a little bit of news posted on what came out, and perhaps what i think about them.

• Fallout 3: This game comes highly anticipated, and the footage was pretty awesome
• Resident Evil 5:  I used to really be into the resident evil series years ago back on the original playstation, but not as much in the more recent releases of the series - but with co-op its definately worth checking out
• Fable 2: its been on the top of my list for a while now – looks amazing, and i have said it a million times but i love co-op
• Gears of War 2: looking great – some interesting hints about riding some crazy beasts in the game, and cliffy mentioned a 5 player co-op game that sounds like complete madness
• NBC Studios: i am not much into the tv and movies realm of xbox, but nice addition
• New Dash – Avatars: I think the new dash looks pretty sweet, and the avatars might be cool – but what happens to the gamerpics, and themes especially for those that bought them?
• Group chat: never thought they would release this – was a total shocker, but one of the most requested things i hear from people for xbox live.
• Geo wars 2: just as good as the original, but now with co-op, i must not be the only one that likes co-op and game companies are listening!
• Galaga: looks pretty trippy, and then made by the same guys that did the championship edition pac man, so that makes sense, definately want to try the demo if nothing else
• Portal XBLA: who doesnt love you some portal?
• South park game: i really didnt think these guys were that popular any more – but should be an interesting title to see what kind of crazy bar they try to pass, like the show did when it first came out.
• GTA IV: here comes our bonus content we were promised for the xbox version!
• Netflix: i dont have netflix anymore but this is an amazing bonus for having netflix – i might switch just for this
• Viva Pinata 2: I loved viva pinata before, and this is coming with tons more creatures and real co-op, so its definately on the must have list!
• GH World tour: i still am a bit off on the GUITAR hero having other instruments but gotta give it to them they are coming out with a nice chunk of songs and some interesting gear
• Rock Band 2: all your old songs work and something like 100 songs coming? thats a serious arsenal of songs.
• Infinite Discover, Star Ocean, The Last Remnant: lots of RPG goodness coming your way
• Final Fantasy XIII: PS3 Fanboys are crying everywhere

there is of course many other things mentioned, which I didnt really get a good look at or didnt have a real opinion to post, so i left them out – I am sure you guys all ready are swimming in E3 info anyway, just figured i would post my 2 cents, and get some fresh content on the neglected 3fs blog

PS friendcast #6 recorded, i just have to edit and put it online – so, look for it soon!
