Been relaxing all morning so time for some posting that I promised. As I said in yesterday's post there was quite a bit of stuff announced through out the day which I did not get chance to talk about so going to spend the time now going through it.
First up a teaser trailer appeared yesterday morning for Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm! and then found out there is a game play video as well for two of the campaign missions. Below is the teaser that was posted up, cannot wait!
Right going to take a few minutes to watch the game play since I've not seen it myself yet then will post it up here.
Wow it looks awesome and reminds me I need to finish Starcraft 2, good thing I've heard this is not out until next year. Anyway here is the game play trailer below and the official website link
Starcraft Preview Official Blizzard Website
Also the Sony fans are happy that a leak of Syphon Filter 4 came out, never played one to be honest and guessing its good since of the amount of fans. Shocked got leaked though, well actually I'm not but with days away from E3 you would think they would be a bit better with keeping the lids shut on announcements.
Speaking of Sony they did update their blogs yesterday saying by the end of this week the network store should be up along with all missing network features, and voucher codes will be emailed for the welcome back pack. No doubt the store will be inaccessible since everyone will be rushing on lol
Also it seems they going to be doing quite a lot of E3 stuff in the PlayStation Home(video streams etc), might check it out this year since you meant to be able to get some goodies for your avatars. Don't think I've evern been Home yet lol, should be a good experience to see.
Ah now here is something you might be interested in, Call of Duty Elite trailer. A video was put together by Activision to show what's it all about and I got to say the trailer describes it a lot better then from what I've read about it. The stats pages does look very cool and having all the map packs would be handy, have to wait and see for more announcements next week.
---------------------------------------------------------
No date yet which is shame, hopefully next week will see an announcement for it. Dang that looks awesome, going to add that to the list of games.Sorry needed a cup of tea to keep me going, need to have at least 20 a day :-p
So where was I? oh yes talking about yesterday new releases/announcements. A new trailer as appeared for Lord of the Rings War in the North, again not seen it myself yet so going to watch it now.
WOW!! I don't understand why I've not been keeping an eye on this game, it looks outstanding. Check this bad boy out and I need to find the release date for this game

Anyway there is still more to come, as I said yesterday was just madness with the announcements. Think E3 just started early to be honest with the amount of stuff. So next up is a Square Enix game for the 3DS, Heroes of Ruin. Band of heroes doing the box standard questing (cross between RPG and action adventure) but the game will be using streetpass a lot, it will allow you to trade items with other players and there will be daily challenges for more rewards and game play. Check out ign.com chat with the developers about the game, could be good I guess and the 3DS does need some more games.
Finally the last news for yesterday was the L.A.Noire Rockstar Pass details, you can now download it for 800 Microsoft points and it gives you access to several suits and all the pre-order bonuses that where being handed out. To be honest its a good value for what you getting, here is the link to shopto news page that covers what is included in the pass. Need to play the game first before I pick this pass up
So that was all the announcements yesterday and you can see why I did not stay up last night to add them to yesterdays daily grind, took me nearly an hour to write that up but then again I did keep getting distracted with all the nice trailers. So going to take a five minute break then start today's writing and getting on with some gaming!
---------------------------------------------------------
Right seems the PlayStation network is going down for maintenance tonight, maybe the store tomorrow then??? would make sense to be honest. Also before I forget this morning I found a e-mail in my inbox for the trailer for the Trooper Class in Star Wars Old Republic. They look pretty sweet and I'm pretty torn on what to play when this game comes out.

Ohhh I knew I forgot something in the announcements section, if you into World of Warcraft did you see MMOChampion post about the new pvp mounts and some of the firelands mounts. They look awesome! check them out here
Right sorry that's it now for announcements, well until the twitter goes crazy with more news. So back to the important matter at hand, whats next on my play list since I've finished my Lego rental.
Well this year as quite a few sequels coming out and I've still not finished the prequels yet, for example Resistance 3 is coming out and Ive done the first one few months back but still got the second one to do. Uncharted 3 at the end of the year and I've not even touched the first one, not even picked up the second one yet since I've not played the first. Elderscrolls Skyrim takes place right after Oblivion which again I've played but always get side tracked, need to sit down for a few weeks and finished that bad boy.
So I'm thinking this what I need to do, finish this prequel games first so I'm ready for the new releases, as I said at the start of the year I do not want 2011 to be another shame pile. I want to get most of the games that come out this year that I pick up completed and so far I'm doing rubbish. But at the same time there is quite a few old games I really want to play right now and some of the new releases this year are sitting on my desk that I want to play as well.
You know what, new challenge! I'm going to set myself a summer challenge to finish all the prequels and some of the games I want to play right now by the end of this summer. If I do this it will knock a dent in that pile of shame I've got, get me ready for the new releases and knock my 2011 completion rate up as well. So it's settled then, just need to sort out what games will be in this challenge so be right back.

Ok here we go...
Summer Classics Challenge
End Date: 31st August 2011
Goal: To finish the 2011 prequels I've got sitting in my pile of shame and to complete several old/new games that are tempting me to play.
The Games:
So there we go, fourteen games waiting to be finished and Oblivion it self could take up the whole summer lol. Let's not forget I will be still getting rentals sent and new releases over the next few months, should be good to see how this turns out. By the way loyal readers if you got a shame pile why not join in and set yourself a goal this summer to finish some of those games.
Now I think it's time to actually do some gaming finally today, first I'm going to give L.A.Noire a little try since I've not opened it and I want to make sure I will like the game. If I don't I can trade it in and still get an high value back for it.

Very impressive, going to stop now since I don't want to get into it just yet but looks like it will be a good game.
I think I'm going to start Resistance Fall of Man 2, I'm in the mood for a shooting game right now. Something easy to jump into with out too many complicated buttons or things to remember.
Well I'm stuck on a update for the game which is taking forever *Sigh* in the mean time I'm currently catching up on the blogs I follow.
Finally installed, time to play some Resistance!

Well I'm back, its 11.24pm and I'm very tired thanks to work. I only had time earlier to do the first prologue level then had to get myself ready and leave. But once again I come
back to a few more announcements, first up is THQ announced Darksiders 2 which could be very cool. I kinda did like the first one but I really did not give it enough time (like most games) so could do with going back and playing it again.
The second one will not be out until next year and takes place with the brother Death trying to prove War's innocence, so the game runs parallel with the first one story wise.
Next up on the announcements is a trailer for Starhawk showing a eight vs eight game between the designers and artists. Got to say I'm impressed with it, I like the idea you can build the base up as you playing to combat with whats going on in the game. Could be a buy this time around unlike its a previous Warhawk game. Will be keeping an eye out for this in the streams next week
Well that's it for the current announcements, so I'm going to go and play a quick level of resistance then hit the sack. Will catch you all tomorrow and expect another long post since I hear Konami as a pre-E3 conference tomorrow so no doubt something to talk about. Anyway thanks for reading my madness and have a good one!
