Mmmmmmm games .......

In my mind, gaming should be on a dedicated platform. And computers back to doing the thing they were invented for: hard work. So, here are a few computer games that would hurry up and specifically come to the Playstation 3 as that is my platform of choice these days (seeing as how I've owned nearly every incarnation of the Playstation since it first came out).

The Marathon Trilogy (albeit the demos only) was my game addiction of the day when I played it on the Mac years ago when it came out. Now that I see Bungie has officially divorced Microsoft, I would love to see it updated and redone. So you can imagine my surprise when one of the games shows up for the Xbox 360 some months ago. Bah, Microsoft and their stupid monopoly.....

Man, World of Warcraft is lookin' pretty hot and tasty these days. Back when Warcraft started with Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, I became throughly impressed with it. And I have loved every demo incarnation I could get my hands on since then. I would totally buy and play WoW if it was released on the PS3. But at least according to 1UP, that probably ain't gonna happen any time soon. Waaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

StarCraft is another one of those real-time strategy games that would play so beautifully on a console. I was completely obsessed with the demo when I first saw it and I still play it maybe once or twice a year now. The huge multiplayer possibilities on the PS3 for it are mind-blowing.

It would even be nice to maybe have an updated version of Pathways Into Darkness. Now that was a great game, throwing-mouse-out-the-window hard, but great.

Anyway that is my holiday wishlist and I wish I was a game programmer and make my own damn games .....
