      The holiday gaming season is slowly drawing to a close. Sure, we haven’t seen Prince of
   
Highclass 1979
  
      Persia and Left 4 Dead yet, but with Gears 2, Fable 2, COD:WAR and Fallout 3 all    
GothicMike
  
      hitting shelves in the last 2 weeks or so, it’s safe to say that the big guns of the year have        
        come and gone.

        2008 was an incredible year to be a gamer. We saw the biggest launch ever with GTA IV    
B1gBadDaddy
  
        selling over 6 million copies in the first week, PS3 finally got their “Grade A” exclusives    
F and A Eternal
  
        with MGS4 and Little Big Planet and the 360 kept on rolling strong with titles like Gears 2    
Weediman
  
        and Fable 2. Even Nintendo kicked some gamer ass with Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros    
Yodathe3rd
  
        and Wii Fit selling about a gazillion copies each.

        So with so many awesome titles hitting this year, have developers saved anything for

        2009? You damn right they did. Of course release dates are never set in stone, so don’t

Game Difficulty, do you really miss the good old days?

        I have read many articles and listened to more than one podcaster complain about the        
        difficulty (or lack of ) of modern games and how “It’s not like the good old days”. You        
        know those days, back when you pumped quarter after quarter into the arcade machine to        
        keep “continuing”. The days when you started off with 3 lives and earned extra lives as        
        you went along, all the while the difficulty level was going off the charts!

MMO's and Consoles... A Match Made in Heaven

    As far as gaming is concerned, I've been around the block a few times and it’s safe to say        
        I’m not one a mother approves of. However, in the last few months, I’m fast finding that        
        the Xbox 360 is becoming my home, my beacon for games to get stuck into. I got my Wii        
        last Christmas and already the amount of Xbox games I have is starting to outweigh my        
        Wii collection—and I’m not one to trade games, either.

        It looks as though we may finally be getting our hands on PlayStation Home in the near        
        future. This week, Sony announced that Qore annual subscribers will get access to the        
        elusive closed-beta that has been running since April 2007.        
                 
        So now that we have a release date, only one question is left unanswered: Does anyone        
        still care? Hit the jump for the full story.
