Woh dude, how long was I out? What?! No. No way. A month and a half? For good reason too. Two good reasons. First a three week trip to Southeast Asia which has gone longer than I thought do to extensions (and that trip to Phuket). Second, December was pretty dry in the form of decent-I mean recent FPS releases. I mean like what? We’d still be talking about Bioshock? Or the disappointing push-back of Haze which really wasn’t a push-back? This is just refresher of the hottest releases of FPS related news over the past weeks where we had our backs turn.

~After decades of anticipation or decided whether or not it really does still exist, a trailer for Duke Nukem: Forever was released.

~Info on Rainbow Six Vegas 2 reveals a more seamless form of gameplay that advances from the original PEC RPG-esque character creation system where the player character can transfer from their singleplayer campaign to a multiplayer scenario with all their stats.

~Another sequel, Condemned 2: Bloodshot finally introduces a multiplayer section(hopefully with some insane hobo VS insane hobo action) along with expanding on the creatively brutal melee specialization gameplay.

~Another sequel, Far Cry 2 may make eyes bleed further since Crysis and the original Far Cry where the player is dropped in the harsh African savanna as a mercenary who well, has to survive in a free-roaming forty or so kilometre environment.

~The early info surrounding Resistance 2(yet another sequel) seems to be the most promising and makes us glad we got a PS3 in time for 2008: eight-player class-based cooperative campaign, sixty player massive map multiplayer, and the Chimera are guess what? Invading the United States.

We are pretty sure there was more releases of information during the last two bridging months but these are the standouts. At least Call of Duty 4 has been keeping us busy when we are not at work. We will try to get in some more BS posts once we get some ideas.
