Summer of Arcade
Aug 29th
This is just a quick rambling AudioBoo about the quality of downloadable games we've seen this summer, which only further justifies the medium as a contender in the video game market. Â I haven't purchased a single hard copy of a game since Fight Night Round 4 in June, and in the meantime my attention has been kept by arcade games like Battlefield 1943 and Shadow Complex. Â I bet GameStop loves to hear that.
AudioBoo – Battlefield 1943 and Monkey Island
Jul 18th
This one's split into two parts because the first part exceeded 5 minutes.
My most anticipated title of the year is…
Mar 1st
...a remake of a 7 year old game that will probably be nothing more than a budget arcade title to most. That's right, Battlefield 1943 is a game I've been calling for since Battlefield 2142 came out. Its developer, DICE, has put out Battlefield games in pretty much every era possible. World War 2, Vietnam, the modern era with Battlefield 2 and even the future with 2142. So, what's left? Time to start all over!
Battlefield 1942 was easily my favorite game of the series. It might have something to do with the newness of the game at the time, but being able to get a huge (relatively speaking) group of people on a map with separate character classes and vehicles was extremely fun. I liked all of the games that followed but I'm most partial to the WW2-era arsenal, and since the guns and vehicles are the most important part of the game that means quite a bit.
The new game is titled Battlefield 1943 and is under development in the Frostbite engine. It'll launch for PC, Xbox Live Arcade and PSN. I'm almost certain I'll stick with the PC version though. Here's the trailer:
