One of the comments yesterday suggested that Gamesblog was becoming a bit cynical. I can't speak for Keith or Aleks but yes, I'll admit, I have had the odd whinge recently. I blame a ropey Q4 release schedule combined with a lack of sleep (Keith - how you bearing up?) So it's about time we emphasised the positive and, y'know, there is actually a lot to look forward to when it comes to gaming in 2006. These are some of our reasons to be cheerful:
Shadow Of The Colossus is released in Europe
The 360 should finally get a true next-gen game
PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Revolution should launch in Japan at least
Twilight Princess - brand new Zelda that will demand attention
Nintendo DS redesign - it will happen. Arthritis prevention is assured.
Pro Evolution 6 will feature the newly promoted Southampton FC
Any others?
