Summer Drought?

As we move now into the summer months, will we be facing yet another drought, like we experienced for most of last year's summer? BioShock filled the gap nicely in '07, but what will we have this year, if anything, to keep ourselves busy?

Well, Ninja Gaiden II just came out, and you can look out for the Hooked Gamers review coming very shortly. It's a great action game, and one that any 360 owner should pick up if they find themselves with nothing to play.

Then, of course, is Metal Gear Solid 4, which is sounding like it's going to be long enough to fill up the entire summer on it's own. The game's shaping up very well, and look out for the Hooked Gamers review of it coming in the next two weeks.

Also for the 360, and PS3 is Alone in the Dark, the newest entry in the long running horror series. it's looking extremely frightening and incredibly ambitious, and is a must for fans of the previous games in the series.

With 360 and PS3 covered, that leaves PC and Wii. The PC just had Age of Conan, which is going the right way about becoming the first World of Warcraft beater we've ever seen. It's vast world and interesting differentiation between single and multiplayer are stunning PC gamers worldwide.

And then there was one. The Wii doesn't really have any significant first party software coming out that we know of anytime in the near or distant future, with just a slew of cash-in party games coming out for the system. Wii owners had better hope Nintendo announce something at E3, or they might have to branch out to another system to satisfy their gaming needs.

Overall, there is no shortage of games to play this Summer, except seemingly on the Wii, which still has ports of 360 and PS3 games coming. Enjoy your summer, and know that there will be games to play when you come back from the beach!
