Six Years Ago….

I find it unbelievable that it’s already been 6 years since Doom 3 was released. I was going through some old games that I want to finish and noticed the dates, it amazes me that it was that long ago, seems like it’s been a while but not that long!! I guess age is catching up with me. Unfortunately I didn’t finish the game, I got probably 1/2 way through and something like Battlefield or something else got in the way. 
I want to get through it and I also need to finish F.E.A.R. and Crysis. Crysis is the big objective right now since I want to finish it and WARHEAD before Crysis 2 hits, another game that I started playing and dropped for some reason (2142 maybe?).
Regardless it just blew my mind that it’s been 6 years since Doom 3 was released and 5 years since F.E.A.R. first hit. Too many games I have that I didn’t finish for one reason or another and I plan to start going back through.
Crysis 2

Looks like Crysis 2 will be hitting around March 2011 bumped from the original Holiday 2010 release time frame. Nice video footage of New York City being destroyed, complete with Time Square!
Medal of Honor: The Catalyst Video

Very cool video, not sure about Linkin Park and the “techno-ish” track but at least it’s a little more than traditional game track music. Looks like MoH will take motion sickness to a new level! 
Why not Zakk and BLS? The dude in Tier 1 looks like him with that beard! 
Battlefield 3 Announced!

I guess it was inevitable that BF3 would be on the horizon but I’ve been satisfied with Bad Company 2 and haven’t been checking weekly for an announcement for a new one! No details on the era but my guess is that it will be much like BF2 with a new version of the Frostbite Engine and Destruction (BC2 runs on 1.5 and 2.0, respectively). Maybe we can get a new release of Strike at Karkand as a released map! Speaking of which, where’s Wake in BC2?
