A pretty damn long while. But with a new GOW game on the way, I'm back. You haven't seen the video yet? Check it out now. That's some damn sweet twenty-something seconds.

What sucks is that I'm only just getting a 360 for Christmas, since I've been basically bankrupt the whole year. If PS3s still cost the same amount as small islands by the time GOW3's out, I'm gonna steal one of those pricks. Or borrow one from a friend. Whatever's easier.

In the meantime, I've got a lot of gaming to catch up to, like that other GOW acronym, for instance.

FACK YES

Will definitely write a review after finishing the game. My god I have been blown away by the games sheer rock and roll like a thrillion times already.

... that February-March is going to be HUGE. GOW2. 300. Legal drinking. Very, very, very, very yes.

My game of the month is Landstalker: Treasure of King Nole for the Mega Drive/Genesis. Sadly, not one of my three consoles of the sort have been working lately (though the cart seems fine) so I had to bite the bullet and download the ROM - something I never like to do as I believe features of a 16-bit console game are lost when played on a PC, but hell, I was pretty desperate to play that great game again (haven't in years).

Hope everyone has a great month leading up to the ULTIMATE GAMING HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR.
