After playing through Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion nothing can sate my thirst but another chapter in the rich world of the Elder Scrolls. I played fantasy after fantasy game and none could compare to all the fun, excitement, and the experience that the Elder Scrolls series had given me over the years. By the time I had play thru Oblivion seven times I was craving something more that all the mods and expansions couldn’t satisfy. At first I thought it was a dying interest in the series but what I really had been craving was another addition to the Elder Scrolls universe and once I saw that announcement trailer I knew my prayers had been answered. Why will you be buying Skyrim tomorrow?

If you have not been in or heard about the news at E3, Metal Gear Solid: Rising was not at E3 2011. Luckily, they gave out a possible due date of the release, around 2012. But lets talk about it. If you saw the trailer for Rising, you would know the info on this new installment. But for those of you that don't, here is the info.
In the new MGS, Raiden is the protagonist again. If you don't know the ending of Guns of The Patriots, or never played it yet, this is your only spoiler warning. At the end of Guns of The Patriots, Solid Snake quit the business of killing (lets see how long that lasts) and leaves The Patriots to live out the remaining years of his life, which makes it hard for another entry in the series. But the stealthy Snake is not making a comeback in this one, (as far as we know) because this one is about the gap between Sons of the Patriots and Guns of the Patriots and might give us insight to Raidens different form in Guns of the Patriots, and this one might also have a possible Solid Snake appearance.
In the game Raiden has taken to the form of a cyborg-man. While the Metal Gear storyline and setting is intact, one amazing addition has been made: swordplay. In Rising Raiden has a Katana-like sword which is on a high frequency and can easily slice apart anything. This opens up new means of slaying your enemies in creative and strange ways (Bulletstorm style?). Raiden also has the ability to drain cyborgs life force to heal himself and has the ability to search bodies for ammo and other integral items. This series just keeps rising the bar on itself, and hopefully this one can make the jump. I am sad we will have to wait until 2012, but still, it was less time then I had thought I would have to wait. But it would have kept our excitement even higher for this new entry, too bad they didn't release a video at E3 though, would have been cool too see some watermelon guts again.

My name is Justin, and I’m a mobile gamer.
“Hi Justin,” they all chime in unison.
“I started playing mobile games casually – a little Angry Birds to get a little gaming fix in a life busy with work, kids, etc. That morphed into spending time on the app store actively looking for something new. Before I knew it, I was showing up 30 minutes early to meetings to ensure that I’d have some time to play while I wait, and even locking myself in the bathroom several times a day just to level up on EA High Caliber Hunting.”

In what is sure to send gamers everywhere into an excitement induced coma, "Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz announced today that the show will be coming back to television! AD was cancelled 5 years ago by Fox (who has a long history of poor decisions in cancelling shows).
