February 20, 2013 Eric Swain Thoughts ‘What do you think will be the best game of the year?’ February 20, 2013 | Filed under: Recent Posts, Thoughts and tagged with: Guess Seemingly every year at the beginning of the year everyone asks themselves and each other what games are they most looking forward to and what they think will be the best. Often one question presupposes the other in the asking. 2013 is no different. Though after the landmark year that was 2012, I think that the question is fundamentally different than it was in previous years. | more
December 28, 2009 Eric Swain Recent Posts, Thoughts Nostradamus Check Up ’09 Last year I said I called it to a number of predictions I had made. Then in February I made several predictions about the coming year. Let's see how I did. 1- On Resident Evil 5 I said that it would be an end to the series being about horror mostly because of co-op as an effect of its focus on action. I also said that it wouldn't be as well regarded as Resident Evil 4. I nailed this one. Other than the discussion on race that the game spawned and some discussion on co-op this game was largely forgotten a month later. | more
May 29, 2009 QWERTY Recent Posts QWERTY: My E3 2009 Predictions E3 is back to its old extravaganza self, which means everyone else over the next week on the net will start crapping themselves over all the awesomeness. The starry-eyed masses will flitter around claiming how everything will remake the way we play games. In fact you know there is going to be so much awesomeness there, because a great majority of the announcements have already been revealed, leaked, etc. That means there has to be even greater awesomeness for the show. | more
February 9, 2009 Eric Swain Recent Posts, Thoughts Pretending to be Nostradamus Anyway I was thinking about what to write as a quick of the top of my head post and it occurred to me. I did a post last year, I Called It, which was kind of pointless being one of the first half a dozen things I posted on the site. I could have written anything that happened and said I say this would happen. Well I did say those things, maybe not on the net, but in real life to anyone who would bother to listen to me. This year I decided to put my money where my mouth is so to speak and play act as Nostradamus of a little bit, without the cryptic speech that can be interpreted any which way of course. | more
December 23, 2008 Eric Swain Recent Posts, Thoughts I Called It Well everyone else is doing their end of the year round up, and I thought I'd join the fun. Of course I haven't been around for a major part of the year, hell I don't think I've had an active posting site for a week, but I have been around for the last year and instead of giving my best 10 or whatever else, I'd like to state a few predictions I've repeatedly made to anyone who would listen (I'll do this here come next year) and see how I fared. I think you can guess by the title. | more
