Mr. Caffeine Goes DOODLY DOODLY DOOP

Eventhough the Ubisoft press conference was pretty good but Mr. Caffeine was the one who stole the show. Caffeine’s ‘DOODLY DOODLY DOOP’ moments would even make the serious types jump off their chair and have a laugh.

Kinect Disney Land Adventures: Stretch like a bird

There is nothing wrong with Kinect, I am a huge fan of the system. But the way Microsoft arranges the live demos is a bit hilarious. For example during the demo, those kids were swaying their arms in a pretty funny manner. Check this video below ( jump to 1 min 26 secs mark.)

Or are you thinking of what actually happened to Adam Fenix? Perhaps you must be thinking of another treasure hunting adventure with Drake and fighting gangs in Grand Theft Auto V? The answer is you won’t be doing be that in 2010.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Expect 2011 or 2012...not 2010.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was released eighteen months ago and to much fanfare, Rising was announced just last year at E3. As every Metal Gear Solid game takes about three to four years to develop and release it is highly unlikely we would see Solid Snake…oops…Raiden return for this sequel/prequel.

Gears of War 3

Next generation please...

2006 saw the first game in the franchise getting released followed by the sequel in 2008. So it is logical that we might see the third one this year. Sorry folks. Epic won’t be releasing Gears of War 3 this year and in fact Gears of War 3 might be on a next gen console all together.

Uncharted 3

You wont be hanging from any cliffs in 2010!

If you are thinking to get back in to Nathan Drake’s shoes once again in Q4 2010 than unfortunately you are thinking of making a castle in the sky. No…Naughty Dog won’t be releasing Uncharted 3 this year, but yes; they must have started development on it as soon as they would have wrapped up Among Thieves.

Grand Theft Auto V

Stealing cars? Not allowed in 2010.

Grand Theft Auto IV is undeniably one of the finest games to hit this generation, but what about the sequel? RockStar have been pretty tight lipped about Grand Theft Auto V. So will it get released this year? Answer is NO. Normally Grand Theft Auto games get announced about 15-18 months before release and the game has not even been announced yet. But yes, we might hear that announcement in 2010.

Please note: We agree this might not be the complete list. But you are always welcomed to voice your opinion in the comments section below.

Nathan Drake

Game: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Profession: Treasure Hunter
Biggest Asset: Luck

Oh man! Luck...till when?

As I have said to many of colleagues, this game is simply ahead its time. One of the reasons that made Among Thieves popular was the attitude of Nathan Drake. Tell me guys…How can one laugh while hanging from a ledge of a train almost thousands of feet from the ground? Well if there is someone than it is definitely Nathan Drake. He is highly skilled and agile. The gameplay elements present in the game and the stunts made by Drake are absolutely out of the world and one of the best in video games to date. I mean common, how many heroes have taken on a helicopter and a tank? Solid Snake…? Yes he is there… but I don’t remember anybody other than him and Nathan Drake.

Ezio

Game: Assassins Creed 2
Profession: Assassin
Biggest Asset: Highly agile and acrobatic

If the Prince can do it, I can do it better.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze, to begin with, he is not an assassin actually. As the story progresses he eventually becomes in to one hell of an assassin. Altair was liked by over 5 million gamers worldwide and rightly so. Despite his similarities with the Prince of Persia, Altair was one step ahead. he could assassinate people in style and make a run for it. The same is with Ezio, he shares many traits with Altair, but Ezio can carry weapons like Hidden Blade, Double Hidden Blade and Poison blade. Also he can socialize and buy armory/weapons. Other than that he seems much more agile and acrobatic than Altair and yeah, who in the world can forget his double blade move.? Simply awesome!

Batman

Game: Batman Arkham Asylum
Profession: Super Hero
Biggest Asset: Gadgets

You know what? I am the only one...The Dark Knight!

Well we all love Batman since we were little babies, don’t we? But if Arkham Asylum was anything to go by, Batman would have at least picked up another million in his fan list. The high point of the game was of course the gadgets. Batman’s Detective-Vision allows Batman to see a number of different things. When activated he’ll be able to see weakened surfaces that can be destroyed with a small explosive, points of interests like grates over air ducts that can be removed to expose alternate routes, and most importantly, will show people/enemies on different levels. Just about everything a man wants in a game, cool fight sequences, super heroes, and gadgets only the military wish they had, exploding shaving cream !!! HUH ? What’s that last one?

Cole MacGrath

Game: Infamous
Profession: Hero/Antihero (Depending on your Karma in the game)
Biggest Asset: Electric powers

Mind a bolt of lightning?

What happens to a guy who is at the epicenter of the the blast that has absolutely destroyed the fictional Empire City? Ideally he should have blown to pieces. But no, our hero Cole somehow survives that due to the Ray Sphere. Now after that he acquires super hero powers. These powers are very unique and never seen a in a video game before. Cole can utilize electricity from near by sources like traffic signals and vehicles to charge himself for shocking his enemies. Unlike most super heroes who have just a single dimension to their abilities, Cole can climb the tallest tower in the game, can slide on railway tracks and do the leap of faith. All the abilities and a tough attitude makes Cole a super hero of a kind.

Honorable Mentions:

• Left for Dead 2 Team
• Alex from Prototype
• Sev from Killzone 2

(In no particular order)

1. Shadow of the colossus

Shadow of the Colossus must go down as one of the most emotional games in recent history. The game itself starts off showing the main protagonist carrying his love who is dead. The only way to revive her is to sacrifice 16 colossi. Now thats not the reason why the game is listed here. Agro the hero’s beloved horse, its end is indeed very emotional. The player throughout the game has some sort of an emotional bonding with Agro. The way Agro saves the hero whilst sacrificing itself in the process is very touching. Check for yourself the video below.

Update: This video is no longer available.

2. Fable 2

Like Shadow  of the Colossus, Fable 2 also had the main hero bonding with his beloved dog.  The dog was a big help throughout the game. He will find hidden treasures, gold, maps  and will also fight against your foes. In the climax all the heroes stand together to destroy your nemesis: Lucien. Lucien is about to shoot you, but your faithful dog comes between and the poor puppy gets killed. Watch the video below.

3. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

I know you must all be thinking why I have put Snake Eater instead of Guns of Patriots. The reason is pretty simple. The relationship between the BOSS and Naked Snake is truly unique and in involving. Your mission is to kill your own mentor, your own teacher who had trained you. The woman who had loved you like a mother. And all this in the name of loyalty to your country. Man,  during the end even my hands shivered when she said:  ” Kill me…do it Snake”.

4. Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core

“Embrace your dreams..If you have to be a hero, You need to have dreams”. Zach is one hell of character and the most memorable in recent Final Fantasy history. The last hour or two of this game is incredible. Watch it for yourself and yes I cried during this last cut scene.
