About Me: a 26 yr old rock music loving gaming freek who is also a freelancer for Honestgamers.com. i am from Pakistan and have been writing abt games for about 3 yrs now. besides writing for HonestGamers i also write game related articles and game reviews for DAWN which is the leading English newpaper of Pakistan. http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/in-paper-magazine/young-world/dirt-2-730 is the link to my latest article.

turns out Criterion Games is working on the latest installment of the Need for Speed franchise 'taking it back to its roots'....they even named it Hot Pursuit AGAIN....i guess Criterion Games is 'taking it back to its roots' thing very seriously....

Dead Space 2 gets January 25th 2011 as the release date.....

it was a good thing that Microsoft's press conference got delayed by a good half hour which allowed me to catch the whole thing (almost)...missed about only 10 minutes of it.....the best news for me from the conference was the new slim 250 GB HDDD Xbox 360 for the same price i.e. $299 and being available from next week.....here's hoping that they fixed ALL issues with the new design so that i can be a console gamer once again.....plus in an Oprah Winfrey style move Microsoft gave each audience member a free slim Xbox 360....HOW I WISH I WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft's E3 press conference starts in almost 12 hours.....i will be watching this one live (HOPEFULLY).....super excited about this event...i wish i could be there :(

and its no surprise then that this week has no major titles releasing on any platform.....unless u consider Toy Story 3 to be a major release which i dont.....

the PC will see 3 games (besides Toy Story 3) being released this week: SBK-09 Superbike World Championship which is all about....u guessed it superbikes.....then there is the strategy game Making History II (there was a part 1 of this game too?): The War of the World.....and finally a point and click adventure titled The Book of Unwritten Tales......

so everyone enjoy E3.....i know i will!!!!!!!!!!

i think this was the fastest 500 hits on my blog so its another small achievement for me.....6000+ hits on my blog so thank u to all the readers once again.....on a different note Civilization V: THE MOST ANTICIPATED for me this year will be releasing on the 21st of September....cant wait for this one....finally saw Date Night last night and didnt like it that much.....this movie looks really good in the trailer but the movie aint that funny......

slow day for gaming news except that the new Mortal Kombat will be in 2D with the 'deepest storyline' in a fighting game.......ooooooooooooooooo impressed NOT!!!!!!!!!!!the same old 'we've been listening to what fans have been asking' mantra.....if every developer is listening to what fans are asking why then are there sucky games still being made?????????

anywayz....weekend starts in 7 hours and really looking forward to this one....will be buying Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (PC), some DVD movies, a new cellphone (LG KP 500 a.k.a Cookie) and eating out with a couple of friends.....so its going to be a good weekend HOPEFULLY!!!!!

from Gamespot: " Review of General Psychology deems aggressive software safe for vast majority of youths--but can harm ones with preexisting mental health issues."
