Yakuza 4 trailer
Sep 2nd
Is it just me and having experience the moving and complicated plot of Yakuza 2 or is this trailer really somehow feeling unique and charismatic/energetic somehow?
Valve’s studio
Aug 29th
Wow, i had no idea they had gotten this big, hundreds of people, multiple floors. Wasn’t impressed by the artwork but that’s to be forgiven considering they have concentrated on workflow, convenience and have lots of open spaces… not to mention a fruit bowl 
PS: never been a huge fan of their art departments to be honest, felt more of a technology website, still, i’m totally looking forward to some portal 2 brain teasers
Zero Punctuation: Shadow of the Colossus

Hey!!! look peoplzes!!! Yahtzee actually posted a relatively positive review!!! That’s contrast for you!
Starcraft 2: terran
Aug 3rd
I look forward to playing the Zerg!!! From what i see in the review i’m not that tempted in the game, i mean the artwork looks cool, the multiplayer seems awesome, and the cinematics are probably good storytelling… but… the reason i admired the original Starcraft was also intertwining story… which this lacks. Also i’m sorry to hear it’s not very forgiving ongraphics hardware… especially now, in an age where hardware isn’t spreadign as fast as in the past… that was a thing that i liked Starcraft for: supporting older stuff and playable for all, not just endowed gamers…
E3 2010 – found it boring
Jun 19th
Yep, just saw all the vids… i must say i was totally unmoved. I mean the Sony & MS presentations were sleak, and the Nintendo one did contain that 3ds thingie… but… well, i didn’t see any games that would really tempt me, it feels like the whole market is in consolidation mode, sequels and predictable stuff, no price wars… games with choices? NOPE. It’s sad that not even 2011 might bring a new game that i could dig into (haven’t played in a long time, partly life, but partly i didn’t feel any games worth my time, ones with immersion). A new medieval immersive environment like Oblivion or like VTM Bloodlines… but these days it’s all online and coop and mmo focused so…
Of course these are my personal views… Watched Bonus round and people were psyched about the Nintendo presentation… i just scrolled through it… they called it hardcore gamer stuff even… it felt retro nostalgia stuff to me… ppl. go figure. (yes, talking about me too 
)
In case googling doesn’t bring up the results as fast as it did for me here’s teh big 3 conferences:

Silent Hill 8 – a surprising concept
Jun 19th
Okay, i gotta say i’m quite impressed… I mean for years i’ve played Silent Hill games and i’ve gotten a bit imune to them, bored even… and i didn’t really think they could make it fresh anymore… this does it for me. Not only do i not know of any fugitive game… okay, it’s probably not gonna be a fugitive game, but it starts with that vibe, and it feels like just teh right person to end up in silent hill for many reasons… and yet at the same time I can relate to his reasons for getting there, wanting his freedom… exciting.
Read Dead Redemption [gt review]
May 20th
I’m tempted by it not only because of my love for exploration but also childhood passion for westerns, for a moment it even stirred the BIG temptation: “could this be a Oblivion/Fallout substitute?” I think not, because of choices and mandatory missions… and mostly action not dialogue… still, promises to be a must check out… let’s ask our resident GTA expert: Razvan, what’s the review on this one? Does it match up?
Zombie love

they may not be game exclusive, but no only have they inspired tons of great artoork:

but they’re also so fun and friendly, an inside joke for me of how they conveniently provide canon fodder
Starcraft creature designs
Apr 15th
Thanks to Razvan for pointing these out to me! A couple look very cool! (well, they all look pro, but a couple i particularly like)
