My vacation is almost over and I’ll soon be back on the books for my February exams. In the meantime I can play the games I’ve bought  during the steam Holiday sale: Audiosurf and Shattered Horizon (thanks to Emuboy and Nemesix who lent me the money on their pre-paid card).

After the holiday sale craze I though everyone would have got a copy of Left 4 Dead 2 but I found out that some of my steam friends never considered it worth buying, so it’s poll time. We saw that the most awaited game is the mildly dissappointing Final Fantasy XIII (in Japan). We’ll now see how this L4D-L4D2 crack has affected the community.

New year, new stuff on the market. Satoru Iwata revealed yesterday that the new Zelda for Wii will be out in 2010 and the successor of the DS is in the works with HD graphics and, probably, a motion sensor. Though I’m usually confident about hardware improvements I have to raise an eyebrow about this one. The DS is a handheld and waggling it around may not be the best choice if a 5-years guarantee isn’t provided. Furthermore, playing it on the bus would mess up the gameplay. We’ll see.

I also managed to remember an old game I played at a friend of mine’s house when I was a kid. It was Skyroads but to play it today i would need a DOS emulator and I’m not certain that it would run flawlessly. That’s why I looked for a remake and found Tasty Static. Give it a try if you feel like it.

Capcom released a small teaser showing off the new features in Super Street Fighter IV. I already love Balrog’s third outfit. Enjoy!

It still has to come out and I’m already waiting for a price cut.
