I'm Back... But Where Did I Go?

Honestly... Nowhere. I've been a bit pre-occupied gaming and sleeping and kept getting sidetracked from posting updates here, so that's why there hasn't been anything new over the last week. Luckily for me it hasn't been too news heavy this week anyway. Here's what you may not know but probably would if i hadn't been slack...

Several major games have released including Fable 3, which has eaten up over 10 hours of my life already and apart from being a bit glitchy is an excellent game. Fallout: New Vegas has also been out for a little while and was extremely glitchy at launch, however was slightly improved when Bethesda released a patch to address over 200 bugs (surely there must be quality control restrictions in place that stop them from shipping a game with over 200 bugs, which they had to have known about). Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is out and doesn't suck as much as i thought it would. TFU2 is still very similar to the original but receives a significant graphics upgrade as well as more variety in all things from enemies to lightsaber crystals.

On the more newsy side of things, the CEO of Take Two Interactive, Ben Feder, has resigned from his position to spend time travelling Asia with his family. Take Two is the parent company to multiple games studios which can best be summarised as all the Rockstar and 2K Games studios. The current Executive Vice President, Karl Slatoff, will take over top job as CEO effective from January 1st.

Also pulling the plug on an epic career is Keiji Inafune, who has announced his departure from Capcom. Inafune's current job title is Head of R&D Management Group, Consumer Games R&D Division and Contents Management Division, which means his hand has been pulling the strings behind pretty much every Capcom game you can name of late, but his early career included creating Mega Man. He announced via his personal blog that he will be leaving Capcom in order to look for his next challenge and start his life over.
