In the coming weeks…(and months)

The end of this week should be an exciting one. Spore comes out on September 7th, and I plan on putting up my impressions as soon as possible. On the very same day comes the start of the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Open Beta. “Open” is a relative term as only people who have preordered the game will be admitted.

Have no fear however as I keep all of you up to date on the goings of the Open Beta and the game in general. This year looks like it could be better than last. Which is surprising to say as I thought last year was pretty satisfying.

If your anything like me this holiday season’s release schedule is hard to keep track of. I figured I would put together a list of a major titles coming out this month.

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise – Sept. 2, 2008

Spore – Sept. 7, 2008

Rock Band 2 – Sept 14, 2008 (Xbox 360)

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed – Sept 16, 2008

Crysis Warhead – Sept 16, 2008

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning – Sept 18, 2008

Samba de Amigo – Sept 23, 2008

Lego Batman: The Video Game – Sept 23, 2008

de Blob – Sept 26, 2008

These are only the titles that caught my eye. If you have a game in mind you think others would be interested leave a comment and I will update the post with the release date.

PAX 08′ Spore + Rock Band 2!

These two new videos show off the opening scenes of Spore and the booth for Rock Band 2.  The panel covered the first three parts of Spore: Cell, Creature, and Tribe. The demo was fantastic although I must admit I would have liked to see Space.

The first video opens with the start of Spore in the cell stage. During the second we see parts of the Creature stage and the Tribe stage.

Click the jump to see the second of the two spore videos as well as the Rock Band 2 booth.

Gears of War 2 Video Removal

The video was set to private until I can resolve an issue that has come up. It came to my attention that there was a no Video or Picture request at the booth.

I was unaware of this until last night and have removed the video when I found out about it.

If I am able to release the videos I will, however I cannot now.

It is my goal to provide coverage of the games from PAX it is my intention however to follow the individual requests of specific developers and publishers.

Thank you for your interest.
