The subject today and the most popular subject till October will be Halo 3, which is the most anticipated game this year! After the unbelieveable sucess of Halo 1&2, Halo 3 is sure to be an overall great accomplishment. After the beta downfall and the release of Gears of War, Microsoft quickly recovered with adjustments with the beta, which made Halo 3 seem much, MUCH better! (And that's just the beta!) With the purchase of Crackdown you can get the beta, and with the purchase of Bloodwitch you can get the Red vs Blue beta episode. In Halo 3 campain, Master Chief actually works with the Arbiter! Wow! Master Chief and an elite together? Really? Pure Awesome. Halo 3 campain also will have the online four player cooperative play, in which one person will be Master Chief, one the Arbiter and the other two fellow Elites. In the XBox Live area, you can give your player custom armor and there are new vehicles like the Mongoose. There is also a new feature called the Man Cannon, which can shoot anything, even yourself, at the enemies. Also, a small feature is that you can drive a banshee into space! (If you're that patient holding the thumbstick up that long). At one point, you do fall, but it is awesome! Halo 3's release date is 9/25/07, or you can preorder it for a lot more money. Congrats to Bungie and Microsoft for another great game!

The Wii. I'm sure you've heard of it. Most likely going to be the family console of the year, for Wii sports has already gotten an award from X-Play for best sport game. But what about those "non-family" games. You know, blood, gore, makes you want to puke horrible. For the Wii? Never. Are you sure? Non other than Manhunt 2 will be coming out for the Wii. Yes, Rockstar Games's soon to be released game is coming out for the PS2, PSP, and... the Wii. The sequel for the first gruesome game has rejected ratings in the United Kingdom and Ireland. You can play as either Daniel Lamb or Leo Kasper, both put in the asylum by the Pickman Project. Some new features are included in the game, for example, you can now use firearms for executions, or "Environmental Executions" in which you can push a person into a live fuse box, or drown them in a toilet. Anyway, why this game makes todays article is because since it's coming out for the Wii, it will be like you are actually slaughtering people!!! Think about it, you use the wii remote to, for example, shove an axe into someone's ribcage, or pull the telephone cords to strangle someone. If a game is going to make people go on a killing rampage, it's definetly this game coming for the Wii. You can stick to Wii sports and Mario Party, but if your looking for a badass game, it is definetly this game. Get it for the Wii sometime soon.  

Alright, time to pick the Worst Video Games of the Month! Ok, here's how it works, I pick three games from any console/pc. First, I give you an absolutely horrible game for the pc called "Big Rigs", a truck racing game which might as well should be called "Big Load Of Crap". Could possibly be the worst game made for the Pc or for any console, this game is full of bad graphics, horrible gameplay, and pretty bad grammar. When, if possible, you win a race, it will congratulate you with a trophy and a nice "You're Winner!" I'm sorry, was this game made by 7-year-olds? Sound sucks, camera sucks, overall, it sucks. Don't buy this game, because if you do, you will only be giving the thickskulls who made this game 2 more dollars than they deserve. Now, time for an XBox game where even walking up stairs is a puzzle, "Drake of the 99 Dragons." Ok, first, listen. You are part of the Dragon Clan when everyone you know is killed, even your beloved master. You get supernatural strengths which allow you to jump high and walk on walls. Your energy comes from the souls of those you have killed. You are bloodthirsty. Pretty awesome plot, huh? Now it's becomes a problem once you put the game in your XBox. Now, graphics are bad, fighting is near to impossible, for some reason you just throw away all the guns you used and magically pull new ones from his coat, when people talk their mouths don't move, and the fact they tried the comic book theme didn't help either. Oh, and camera sucks big time. Now moving onto "Sonic the Hedgehog" for the XBox 360. Ok, look, loading screen is a big problem, glitches are an essential to every level, cheesy lines and, what's that? Oh yeah, storyline... THERE IS NONE!!! Gameplay is horrible, one level all you have to do is hold down the thumbstick to pass a level. It's bad. Hoped you like Worst Video Games of the Month!
