Three Weeks of Epic Proportions
Halo 3 was released at midnight tonight. No, I haven’t played it yet (I could have gone over to someone’s house, shut up), and no, I don’t feel the urgent need to go do so. If I was going to make my 360 purchasing plans right now, I’d say it would be either right before or right after Thanksgiving. It’ll have been 2 years, and I think that’s long enough to wait.
Next week is probably the one week out of the remaining part of the I’m looking forward to the most until our trip to Vegas. Why? The release of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is why. If I really need to explain to you why I’m looking forward to this release so much, you don’t know me very well at all. Forget about Bioshock (which I didn’t play any today), WoW, Tabula Rasa, and any other games I might be playing. Come next Tuesday afternoon, virtually every single free moment I have is going to be spent with this game.
Finally, in two weeks the trio of new Valve games finally hits in HL2: The Orange Box. It comes with the original HL2 (which I already have) and Episode 1 (which I don’t) in addition to the three new games, making it a bountiful box of Half-Life goodness. Team Fortress 2 will probably be fun, Episode 2 will hopefully be fun, but the one that I know is going to be fun is Portal. If it’s not, then something is wrong with me, not the game.
