I have played and Loved all the previous Incarnations of Resident Evil but am looking forward with great anticipation to Resident Evil 5 the first one to use next generation consoles.

Resident Evil 5 takes place 10 years after the first game and focuses on what Chris Redfield did in the period between games Including working for a company called Bioteroism Security Assessment Alliance. The game takes place in Africa and is about the Origin of the Virus, and key elements will follow the life of Chris Redfield after the Original game

The game is due for release in North America and Europe on March 13 and in japan on March 5th where it is known as Bio Hazzard 5, and will be released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

2008 was a great year for games on the Playstation 3 and Im expecting 2009 to be even better.

Below are my top games for 2009 for Playstation 3 which  think will do well

Street Fighter IV

I remember playing this in the Arcades and in my local chippie , so I am glad to see it making a comeback

KillZone 2

Wasn’t a big Fan of the first Killzone but this sequel does look very tasty, but has to compete with the likes of the Excellent Gears of War 2

Resident Evil 5

I Just love the Resident Evil games , there very atmospheric and when tens of zombies come at you at once and your low on ammo its new Underwear time

Final Fantasy XIII

Again Love the Final fantasy games my favourite is Final Fantasy X, ands I still think Wakka was modelled on the Rock

Guitar Hero Metallica

Awesome no other words needed !!

Does Laura Croft Need a new Makeover,

In a way yes, the game is awesome and looks great but six hours of gameplay just to me doesn’t cut it.

The game needs to be longer in my opinion and has to have replay value.

They have added new abilities to Laura Croft in Tomb Raider Underworld but she gets these from the start instead of learning them when she completes levels or assigning them when she gets enough points.

For example in Star Wars the force unleashed where you play Darth Vaders secret apprentice , you start of weak with the ways of the force and earn new force skills after each level, plus when you kill enemies you earn points which can be used to upgrade force powers you allready have.

Plus at the end of each game you can restart the game again with your force powers intact which gives you more opportunities to build powers further plus more time to search for extras like light sabre hilts and colour crystals.

Metal Gear Solid 4

This was an awesome game with an even better sounding evil genus than before called Liquid Ocelot

Grand Theft Auto IV

I loved all the other Grand Theft Auto games but IV was by far and away the best , even making GTA San Andreas boring

Guitar Hero World Tour

Not much to say except this game Rocks !!!!

There are other notables like Star Wars Force Unleashed and Lego Indiana Jones, but these have to be my top 3 games of 2008.

What will 2009 bring ??.
