New Game Plus, or New Game +, is a mode that is common in over 154 games as seen over at giantbomb.com. Recently, it has been said that Mass Effect 2 will not feature this mode.
As of now June has been a pretty good month, with a few heavy hitters to come in the remaining days of the month.
July is the month when the gaming industry usually slows down a bit, and a lot fewer games come out.
As per usual, July is not a big month this year either. I actually had trouble getting more than 10 games on the list of “good games coming out”. Actually, I didn’t even manage that, since some are doubles that will go in the multi-platform section, and I got a good part of the releases for the list from Japan.
Needless to say, the list this month is a bit lackluster.
As always, games with (JAPAN) next to their names are japanese games, and we’ll start with the multi-platform games this time.

If you’ve been following E3… at least for today… well, you’ve without a doubt learned about Natal(if you don’t, click this link), Microsoft’s new technology that might change the way games are played, or the home entertainment industry in general.
It features a bunch of motion sensors, a camera and microphone. It captures your movements to instantly translate them in-game, using both the camera and motion detectors. It also features a bunch of fun little features like voice and face recognition and a bunch of other random stuff. And all of that without having to use a controller. At all.
Basically, it has a ton of features and things it can do. So, I was basically wondering how it will really influence the gaming world.
So, read on to see what I think about this.

Well the current-gen has been going on for around 3 years now (well, a bit over 2 for  the PS3 and Wii, a bit over 3 for the 360), and it feels like it’s just about the right time to take a good look at each current-gen console, their merits, their faults, and just analyse the current situation in the video game industry.
We’ve got powerful polygon pushing consoles, and someone who changed their whole marketing schemes and that is trying something relatively different (sounds familiar….), but what state is the industry in, and what are the consoles like after a few years on the market?
Now I want to make this an analysis mostly around the gamers, consoles and games, so I won’t go around talking about sales statistics and all that crap.
Check out what I’ve got to say on this.
