Friends are Trouble

As the title says friends can be trouble and a pain in the ass, especially my friend Wes. Now don't get me wrong he's like a brother to me but I swear his soul purpose in life is to keep me addicted to games. It was his fault that I got into games so bad all those years ago, one simple party at his house won't hurt yet some how the next day I was several hundred pounds poorer and the owner of the new Xbox 360 with a stack of games. I'm also sure it was his fault that I got addicted to achievements but not been able to prove it yet.

Anyway so you probably wondering why I'm ranting about him, especially when this blog is about gaming. Well there is a game coming out in April called Defiance, if you not heard about it then let me explain. It's a shooter MMO that will tie in with a TV show of the same name and both will tie in with each other, so if something happens in game thats big it will effect the tv series and vice versa. Now soon as I heard that I was put off it, don't get me wrong it sounds awesome on paper but to me it screamed "gimmick" and we have had a ton of games with gimmicks.

I was doing ok until I saw Wes post up that it's the game he's keeping an eye on, now I know Wes quite well so when he says that I knew I needed to take a look. Two trailers plus some information reading and I am pretty much sold, might even go pre-order the collectors edition. Of course I cannot help but curse him for making me want to buy another game. So first check out the live action trailer to give you a rough idea..



Then there is the main gameplay trailer below from GAME which looks awesome, but at the same time I cannot help but think of Crackdown with the high tech suits near the end.



Hopefully some more information will come out soon since I want to see if it will be a monthly subscription or free to play with addon on content to buy. If you want to see some more information on the game check out Wes on VGI for his post about the game with the link just here. On that note I'm off to go play some games and I must remember to stop reading his posts, he costs me too much money.
