No Review For L.A. Noire

I have decided not to post a full review of L.A. Noire, for the basic reason being I have not yet finished it. For the last few months I just didn't have the time to play much of anything. A lot of things have changed in my life that has pushed back gaming by a lot. A few months ago I found out something that has changed my health for the next 2 years or so. The good thing, I am on the road for recovery and should be back to 95% by this fall.

Enough of the little depressing news, as far as when it comes to gaming news it looks like Dead Island (a game I have been some what excited about) was pushed to early September. It also seems Rage was pushed to early October. I have been really excited about Rage and hearing the push of the release date had me a little annoyed but at least it was only by a month and not months. Bioware keeps releasing Pre-order offers and system specs for The Old Republic MMO but still no release date. I am hoping they say something very soon, cause I can't wait to play. I want a good Sci-Fi MMO, I am getting tired of the fantasy MMOs. Speaking of MMOs, I have been playing Rift, which is pretty good but hasn't sucked me in enough. I only play when I can and it is more fun then WoW, but once The Old Republic comes out I am most likely going to leave Rift.

What I find the biggest news of late, was Blizzard announced a bunch of information about Diablo 3. The biggest of them stating D3 will need to be played online at all times and a real money auction house in game. I can understand how having no off-line mode will make some people unable to play, but it doesn't bother me. The inclusion of an in-game auction house where you can sell items for real money is interesting, I just hope it doesn't turn into a place for Blizzard to sell items that can only be bought. That would really suck!!! As big as this new is, I can't help but wonder if the bigger news is the unspoken one. With Blizzard releasing information about this can mean that they will be ready to speak about a Beta date soon. I have this feeling we will hear about it very soon and once that happens.....well then we will know Diablo 3 will be coming out soon after. Till then, I'll at least have some good games coming out this fall.
