Keep It Clean

Bungie just released the above teaser footage for their new game(?). The video is called Keep It Clean and is obviously related to Halo 3. The teaser doesn't show much, rather like most teasers, but it does show Flood, multiple drop pods (probably Flood-infested) and shots of a futuristic city.

I have two theories about what it could be.

1. This is in the future, after Halo 3, mankind has rebuilt, and the flood somehow come to our planet and this is the story of some gutsy marines keeping the parasite at bay without the aid of Spartan 117.

2. My second theory, and the one I hope is right, is that this story is going to take place on a Forerunner world and chronicles the attack of the Flood that caused chaos for them before they left. I would love to play as a character called Mendicant!

Anyways, sorry (to all three of my readers!) I have been absent for a bit. Work got pretty intense and is looking to remain so for at least another two weeks or so.

Monday to Wednesday are public holidays however, and I am planning to take as much advantage of them as possible, so maybe I will make a couple more posts during the next couple of days.

Red Alert 3

This is just looking really awesome. It might actually be the first Real-time strategy game that I pick up in almost 10 years. Even though I am sure I will probably still suck at it, having Tim Curry hamming it up is just so tempting. :-)

Diablo III - it's official!

Just saw over at eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=162055) who are at the blizzard event in France that diablo III has been announced. This was not a surprise at all really, what with their teasers and so on recently, but I am very excited.

Now to wait for release date info and hopefully the cinematic and ingame videos that were shown to come online. I am so buying a copy for everyone in the office. LAN multiplayer, here we come!

EDIT: Okay, got a link to the videos, the US site is being hammered right now so I doubt it would be worth your while going there just yet. I am hoping the EU one is slightly better...yeah right.
