Catchup, GameQ, PS3

I've mentioned before that my blogging directly correlates with my wife's bad tv-watching. Since ANTM and SYTYCD are back on the air tonight, I'm back on the net tonight. The trouble is, I don't really have much to say. I've been playing Shadow Complex when I can, and loving it. I agree with pretty much everything Matt said earlier about it. It gets the MetroidVania label quite a bit, but there's really very little backtracking that Metroid is so famous for.

Speaking of Metroid, I'm a little bit excited about the Metroid Prime Trilogy being released on Wii. Maybe I'll actually play through the second one with the new Wii controls. I loved them in MP3. We'll see when I actually get it from GameFly though.

Speaking of that, I figure an easy way to show you what I'm looking forward to is to post my queue. Some explanation is in order, I'd say. After the top 10 or so, everything is unreleased and sort of in order by release date, but not quite.

On another note, I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before I get a PS3 now that they've finally dropped the price to something reasonable. Today I bought a spare HDMI cable. You know, to get ready. For the inevitable. Similar to what I did w/ buying a 360 late, I'm keeping a list in my head of PS3 exclusives that I've missed in my head. Let me know if this list is missing anything.
  • Flower
  • Uncharted
  • Resistance
  • Infamous
  • Killzone 2
  • Little Big Planet
  • Metal Gear Solid 4 (maybe...the thought of 90 min. of Kojima cut scenes make me cringe)
  • Heavenly Sword
  • Warhawk
  • Noby Noby Boy
  • PixelJunk Eden
  • Trine
