Just when you thought it was safe to finally go through your backlog of titles from 2008, another year of impressive looking titles is upon us. With E3 just around the corner, which is sure to bring us huge announcements and some new titles which are still in the works, let us take a look of some already announced games coming up in 2009. Here are the top ten most wanted games of the second half of 2009.
10. The Saboteur – Pandemic’s stealth action title, set in WWII, follows the underground efforts of a saboteur as he tries to redeem his city of Nazi influence. The game is set in black and white and color only returns once you rid an area of influence.
My take: I have been interested in this title for some time now. The concept of black and white games is still fresh, and The Saboteur looks to add a whole new fresh coat of paint. With Pandemic’s usual track record, I think we can expect The Saboteur to look and play great when it’s released.
9. Bionic Commando – This is the latest title in the Bionic Commando series and being developed by GRIN (better known for the PC version of GRAW) and published by Capcom.
My take: This update on a classic franchise has been looking great so far. While the arm—thankfully without hotdog wires—still looks ridiculous, being able to swing like Spiderman while mowing down enemies looks like a blast. Look for this one hitting May, 19th (22nd for Europe).
8. Prototype – The upcoming game by Radical Entertainment is a sandbox-style action game where the player takes control of a shape shifting anti-hero on a hunt for his missing memories.
My take: Radical is obviously taking the successful design of one of their previous games, Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and using it with their own original IP. From what I have seen so far, Prototype’s fast pace and sandbox design is coming together to make a pretty sweet looking game. Look for this one hitting the stores June 9th (the 12th for Europe).
7. Ghostbusters: The Video Game – Developed by Terminal Reality (BloodRayne) and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, Ghostbusters: The Video Game looks to try and recapture the comedy and scares from the classic movies.
My take: Who is not excited when thinking about a Ghostbusters 3? Well, with this game we are closer than we ever can be. Written by Aykroyd and voiced by most of the original actors, this game has gotten me and many other Ghostbusters fans excited to once again see the team in action.
6. Red Faction: Guerilla – Unlike Previous Red Faction titles, Guerilla is a third-person shooter with sandbox design. You take control of the protagonist and fight against the EDF (Earth Defense Force) using guerilla-style tactics. The game uses a revolutionary new physics engine (Geo-Mod 2.0) to create realistic destruction.
My take: What has my attention is the amazing physics and design seen in the construction (or destruction) of the buildings in the game. Every building has supports to be destroyed and every wall can be taken down. Just watching a video on the wanton destruction alone has me wanting to play this game simply to find out how many ways I could destroy a single building.
5. Batman: Arkham Asylum – Instead of doing something predictable like making a game based on the recent films, Rocksteady Studios is bringing a separate game based on the comics instead. Arkham Asylum is an action-adventure title with stealth elements and features the original voice cast from Batman: The Animated Series.
My take: I’m surprised you are actually reading my opinion; the description alone would cause any Batman fan worth his/her salt to squeal with joy. With the cast of Batman: The Animated Series (such as Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as the Joker) combined with solid action and stealth elements, this is the first Batman game in years that has been able to catch my interest to this degree. Look for this to hit stores June 23rd.
4. Assassin’s Creed 2 – Taking place during the Renaissance, players take control of the assassin, Enzio while taking out targets in the streets of Venice. Enzio has a wide array of weapons to use including those of his enemies.
My take: The main reason I already like this game is simply the fact that ENZIO CAN SWIM. Forget the multiple weapons, never mind Leonardo da Vinci, because now your super assassin no longer has to put on his water wings. Look for this one to ship by the end of the year.
3. Halo 3 ODST – This downloadable pack allows players to see the Halo universe through the eyes of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper). The game takes place during the time frame of Halo 2 in the destroyed city of New Mombasa.
My take: Halo fans have practically already bought this. This add-on pack will allow players to view the Covenant-Human war through a fresh perspective. I’m looking forward to see how Bungie is able to put players in the role of a character far weaker than the Chief while still maintaining the frenzied action everyone is used to.
2. Modern Warfare 2 – Not much has been revealed for this title but with Infinity Ward’s track record, gamers can expect the same heart-pounding action seen in the previous title. One difference to note, however, is the absence of the series title, Call of Duty.
My take: If Infinity Ward is still doing what they do best then we can expect another high quality shooter. It can be seen that with the removal of the series title, Modern Warfare should now be taken as a separate series while still under the Call of Duty umbrella. The most recent trailer announced a release date for November 10th of this year.
1. BioShock 2 – Players get to take control of an infamous Big Daddy in the sequel to the critically acclaimed shooter, BioShock. Ten years have passed since Jack’s escape and new terrors are now roaming through the forgotten city of Rapture. What new terrors will players find?
My take: BioShock was my GOTY choice for 2007. Sure it was a semi-clone of System Shock 2 but that certainly didn’t tarnish the game one bit. BioShock 2 will continue to tell the tragic tale of the impossible dream while answering many remaining questions and shedding light on new mysteries. Look for BioShock 2 to hit this Fall.

Legend has it that "ugg" is short for "ugly" - so, "ugg boots" apparently meant "ugly boots." For decades, "ugg" was generic term used for sheepskin boots made in Australia.The word was so commonplace that it was found in Australian dictionaries, and ugg boots were also known as "ug" or "ugh" boots. But in the United States, when people refer to "UGG boots," they're usually talking about the boots made by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, the parent company of "UGG Australia."So if you're traveling the world and talking about footwear, it's good to know that when the term "ugg boot" is used, it could be referring to an Australian-made sheepskin boot, or a popular brand name boot. site:hardysale.com

Sheepskin and ugg boots are a casual type of boot. Ugg boots are exceptionally warm and are great for cold weather (up to -30 degrees Fahrenheit)If you are looking for warmth while trudging around the house or the city, a sheepskin or ugg boot will be ideal.For girls and women, ugg boots look fantastic with tight-legged jeans tucked into them, or with short skirts paired with opaque tights or bare legs.
