So after reading about it and visiting the sites, I hae to say "The Return of Matt Hazzard" has got to be one of the best game ideas I have seen in quite a while. I am acutally amazed that no one thought of this before, as it is (to steal a line) like Duke Nukem Forever 2 coming out before Duke Nukem Forever. If you have not seen any info on it, I highly recommend looking into it.
Some of the ideas being played with are fantastic, such as the villan hacking the game your in and changing it on the fly. Could make for some very interesting gameplay. Plus the industry is overdo for a good lampooning.
Other than that, Castle Crashers is semi great. As much as love it, the things that irk me REALLY irk me. Such in the latter half, going what feels like 4-5 levels before getting to assign points to your charcter (should have been able to pause and perform on the fly) and that blasted
***SPOILER***
. But the sense of humor is great and overall, great fun, especially with friends.
Also, picked up Yakuza the other day. It's a fun game, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price. The combat is kind of broken, and gets repetative. Heard some of this was fixed in 2 so I may have to check it out.
Also Rez HD is AMAZING! I loved Rez before and now with all of the additional options it's even better.
Tron 2. Old news, but yeah, their making it.
In the world of table top gaming... I always wished I could get get into 40k. I love the universe but I just never have the cash nor proper days off for playing to even be an option, so hopefully Dawn of War 2 will be good, but did find a gem of a game
Paranoia. GM'ing this game has been one of the greatest moments of my life. The concept is that all of the players are in Alpha Complex, built during the cold war as a shelter in case of nuclear war. Several diffirent complexes were built, but one day, a false alarm gets raised, all shelters open and everybody panics. Due to it's "great knowledge" the computer of Alpha complex has determined all othe complexes MUST have been taking over by communists, and it is the only bastion of freedom left. Years have passed, how many who knows? Besides friend computer takes care of you. Players control low level Red troublshooters to fix friend computer, hilarity insues, I know its not the best description, recommend chacking the site -http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/series.php?qsSeries=19 great stuff.

Mentioning Rez reminded me that I now have 4 controllers that I can put down my pants and do my best Alex Navarro impression. Paranoia sounds intriguing. Hearing about these games makes me wish I had more friends interested in games
