January cryobed mishap

It appears I pressed the wrong button on the cryochamber, and 1.5 years have elapsed instead of days. Cryochambers probably should come with more buttons than just day, year, + and - (and of course the irritatingly recessed emergency defrost button).

Still fortutiously, i awaken from my dreamless slumber to see it's pretty much the beginning of 2010, and this scifi games homeopape is afforded a fairly neat and tidy restarting point.

One of the core regular things planned here, is a weekly roundup of all scifi games released (and grudgingly, fantasy, with a level of attention inversely propertional to the genericness of the fantasy world depicted).

Then throughout the week, i will attempt to look a little more closely at the games. At the very least I'll be playing the major releases, and posting wierd sort psuedo reviews, psuedo-analysis, and of course psuedo-trying to be funny stuff. Basically, in an attempt to both structure and legitimise my otherwise harrowingly obsessive gaming and scifi interests, there will be ... whatever this is.

I'm hoping it's going to evolve into the enjoyable blog I tried and failed to find, about science fiction, gaming, and most importantly science fiction gaming. Oh and I'm going to take the scifi stuff seriously... but more about those pretentions another time.

So lets anthropomorphise a month, and ascribe it the role of inventory manager and see what Jan 2010 has in store for us...

-=8th=-
Bayonetta
Darksiders

-=15th=-

Astroboy
Time Machine: trapped in time
Army of two: 40th day (not sure this is really scifi, but it's probably set in some "3 hours into the future" type of near future world, and we've got to tackle that issue at some point)

-=22nd=-

Dark Void
Resident evil zero wii
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4

-=29th=-

Mass Effect 2
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Arthur and The Revenge Of Maltazard
M.A.G
Exodus from Earth

The month is bookended by it's two biggest games, Bayonetta and Mass Effect 2, with Darksiders and Dark Void being the next most interesting looking titles.

Bayonetta and Darksiders are of course both out now, so i'm off to write the next post, the first of the afformentioned weekly round ups.
