A season of video game, just not today

The more I pay attention, the more games I see that I want. Even though it is not coming out anytime soon, Guild Wars 2 is trying to keep people paying attention. I first started paying attention when they were talking about releasing it in early 2009. Now it’s release date is 2010/2011. However, they just released a teaser trailer (though much of it appears to be concept art). Click here to see the trailer.

Another game I’ve been anticipating is Supreme Commander 2. It was announced back in November of 2008 and has a release date of sometime in 2010. From what I saw on their website it appears to be the same as the original game. They have not announced any new factions, but I’m sure there will be some new toys.

A game that is a little closer to release is Aion. The artwork in the game looks fantastic. It is by NCSoft, the same company as Guild Wars. In fact, there is a promotion right now, if you preorder Aion, you will get a special emote in Guild Wars. For information about the promotion click here. Aion is scheduled for release September 22, 2009.

One game that is out now is Overlord 2. I’ve had some time to play around with it. The story is okay, but I don’t think its as good as the original. It does have some nice new features, like the minions riding on pets and resurrecting your favorite dead minions. I don’t like the new forging system, you can’t customize your weapons. But now that I think about it, I believe I talked about this before. However, I do want to show you this:

It’s the piles of gold on either side of my bed. Why can’t real life be more like this?
