� I donapos;t know what the devil is going on with the industry but it seems that they are making 2008 a very special year to us gamers.
�The last time this happened is almost 10 years ago (1998), when gamers coined the mentioned year as the Golden Age of gaming. Well, who will not agree? Back then, Command and Conquer 2 was launched, continuing the epic war of the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) against the sinister Brotherhood of Nod. The greatest devil in gaming�history was also resurrected upon the release of Diablo 2 and its expansion Lord of Destruction which introduced Baal, the latterapos;s older brother. It was also then when we returned to the land of Nosgoth following the steps of the enigmatic Raziel in Legacy of Kain, Soul Reaver. The Soviets and the Allies resumed their war in Red Alert 2 and Yuriapos;s Revenge, its respective expansion.
�Now, it seems history will repeat itself and the classic games of all time return to satisfy our insatiable hunger in virtual mayhem.
�Well, where will we start?
�Who will forget of the dramatic release of Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars? Here, GDI and NOD return to fight for both world and tiberium (an imaginary element) domination. Unfortunately, another faction wants to mess in. Coming from millions of light years from outer space is the Scrin, a unique alien race that is the harbinger of the tiberium infestation experienced in Earth. "Now, prepare for ascension" as what the enigmatic Kane of the Brotherhood uttered.
�Next came World of Warcraft, the continuation of Frozen Throne. Here, Arthas, the treacherous paladin turned�death knight�will assume the role of the Lich King. Will there be peace in the ravaged lands of Lordaeron? Will the Orcish Horde lead by the virtuous Warchief Thrall subdue Kalimdor? Will the Sentinel be able to rejuvenate the Tree of the World defiled by the Burning Legion? The answers are waiting upon entry to the World of Warcraft.
�Once again, the arrogant but yet enigmatic vampire Kain will try to defy his destiny to save Nosgoth and as well as preserve his life from the tyranny of the Elder God. Although not yet assured, a sixth game for the Legacy of Kain series is highly anticipated by the gaming community. Itapos;s sad though that Raziel will not be featured in the next game. Are you prepared for Blood Omen 3? More apt, are you prepared to defy your fate?
�Although Iapos;m not a fan of this title, Starcraft 2 is also one in the wish list of gamers this Christmas. Following the deadly Brood Wars, the Terran faction must find stability by defending itself from both internal and external threats. Well, itapos;s really nice when the Zergs and Protoss are killing the hell out of the Terrans.
�I will not deny that this two games is one of my favorites. Well, how could I not?
�Letapos;s start with the MOST anticipated game of all time. Generating quite a buzz within the community is the announcement of Blizzard Entertainment about the release of Diablo 3. Thereapos;s no specifics yet except for the introduction of two of the five characters playable, the Barbarian and the Witch Doctor. The story is not clear yet but the greatest relief that we will receive is that there will be NO Gunslinger character class in Diablo 3. I repeat NO GUNSLINGER. No guns, rifles, or anything of the like. Isnapos;t it a great relief? At least Blizzard has the instinct not to spoil this legendary game by adding a fucking gun wielding character. Talk about sniping with one of the Prime Evilapos;s butt. Thatapos;s pretty boring. At least Tyrael is returning with the game. I hope that the Heavenly host will have more participation in the fate of Sanctuary. "The Heavens shall tremble"
�Another news maker this year is Electronic Artsapos; Red Alert 3. The Commies are back, unfortunately, their time travel tricks sprouted another Superpower: The Empire of the Rising Sun. I hope that the Philippines will not be involved in this game. I can imagine vintage tanks fighting against Apocalypse tanks�of the Soviets. So much with overkill.
�The emo guy also returned this year. Unfortunately, itapos;s not in our PCs. Enter Max Payne in the silver screen. You do the math. Put a police guy in a scene. Murder his family. Intoxicate him with a new drug. Add some hatred and a handful of mob to blast away? What do you get? Wait, I almost forgot, add the matrix stuff and youapos;ll get an angel of death fucking asses. No, please, this is not another Hitman movie, though Iapos;m fond of itapos;s video game version.
�I hate to state this but it seems the Second Golden Age of gaming had started.
�I hope for our sake that after this is not another Dark Age.
�I had enough of fucking online games.
�By the way where on earth is another installment of Sid Meirsapos; Civilization? The Golden Age will not be complete without it.
