As well as enjoying some nostalgia about my favourite old games, I’ve been looking forward to some new ones that are due to come out (or they have come out, but have yet to make it into our collection).
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (PS3)
UK Release Date: 19th November 2010
We got Assassin’s Creed II bundled with our PS3 and instantly loved it. In fact, I think we lost the remainder of the Christmas holiday to playing it! I’ve since completed everything bar a few trophies and a dozen or so feathers, including both of the (very enjoyable) download content additions. I’m really looking forward to this next game, which is coming out later this year. It looks like they’ve managed to improve already brilliant gameplay and really take it to the next level. I can’t wait to get this!
Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (PS3)
UK Release Date: 25th June 2010
I love all of the Lego computer games by Telltale, and I love Harry Potter.. so this one is a bit of a no brainer for me! I am getting this for my birthday and am really looking forward to playing it once we get back from Cornwall in August. I have just reread all 7 books of the series in anticipation. It looks like they’ve done a great job incorporating the magical elements into the game, as they did with the Force in Lego Star Wars. The Lego games have a great 2 player co-op mode, so this is one I can enjoy with James instead of squabbling over who’s turn it is!
LittleBigPlanet 2 (PS3)
UK Release Date: Late 2010
LittleBigPlanet was one of the first games we got to go with our PS3, and after hours and hours on a particular level, I finally completed the story mode! I love LBP and have even made my own level. Considering how versatile the first game was, I’m amazed at some of the improvements they seem to have made – level building seems even better in the new version, which comes out in the Winter. I can’t wait to get my hands on this!
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
UK Release Date: 11th June 2010
I completed Super Mario Galaxy 1 and have been eagerly awaiting the sequel ever since! Hopefully I will get my hands on this one soon, as the trailers look brilliant! I love the way Mario moves around the little planets, and the whole concept of the game is really fun. All the different power up modes are great, and it looks like there are some great new ones coming with this sequel – I love the look of the clouds one in this trailer.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
UK Release Date: Unknown (2010/2011?)
Only just announced at this year’s E3 show, the long-awaited & longed for sequel to the fantastic Twilight Princess has finally come to light. We now have a name! And a trailer! Yay. No release date though :-(. Oh well, I’ll just have replay Twilight Princess in preparation of Skyward Sword’s release!
