Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! In case you hadn’t already started Back to School shopping, you can mark the blockbuster release of Madden NFL 10 this week as the official start of the fall release season!

Aside from Madden, there is not much else of noe, except perhaps the DS FPS C.O.R.E., and that is only because i has seen months of delays … so I am just wondering if it will actually be released! Anyway, check out the list!

Some notes from last week:

  • G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

    • - When a movie looks to emulate one of the worst films of the year you aren’t surprised it is bad … nor when the game based on the movie is also bad.

  • Hearts of Iron III PC

    • - Another solid RTS (real tine strategy), this is amazingly complex and deep, perhaps too complex at times.

  • Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta (PC, X360)

    • - Finally the end of the DLC … this is sadly one of the worst ones, which is saying something since most of them have been pretty lousy.

What games am I playing now?:

  • PC: Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines – I just finished this weekend as a Tremege (Vampire magician) and went back to play chunks of it again as two very different clans: Malkavian (Demented) and Nosferatu (grotesque appearance and canno be seen). It is a mark of a great RPG when you can take a new character and get a game that feels totally fresh.
  • Mac: “unnamed beta” – I ahve been very fortunate to be involved with considerable beta testing of games through the years. This game is amazingly good, even at this early stage. But, like most betas, it is a total time sink!

So what are you playing? Chime in below!

Enjoy gaming!

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!
