info on three games coming out soon

starting with the one i DONT know when it is coming out

Halo Three: Recon

Halo Three: Recon, takes place in the African city that the prophet of truth destroyed when he made that warp bubble thing, you are a new recruit who wakes up in the city, after being knocked out, other than that i don't know much about the single player, i DO know this about multiplayer, the very coveted recon armor in multiplayer, that could only be given out by Bungi staff members, can now be achieved easily, you can start now, i dont know about anything else on Halo Three: Recon

now to continue, this game will be released in march 2009

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 will be the first resident evil game to be multiplayer, umbrella chronicles doesn't count, as i don't count it as a true resident evil game, it sucked, anyway, you will be able to trade items that are picked up, the game will be featuring a woman from Africa who's name escapes me, and Chris Redfield, the game is taking place in Africa. and (this is not fact, but my speculation) i believe the game will feature enemies that are hybrids of the Tyrant virus and the parasites from Resident Evil 4, also, the movie Resident Evil: Degeneration takes place between Resident Evil 4 and 5.

and now the coup de grace(atleast for me)

Starcraft 2

Starcraft 2 will feature all three species, but it will be set up in three discs, with a total of 90 missions on single player, the first disk is called wings of the valkaries, this is the terran missions the second is called fury of the swarm, zerg missions, and the third is called The Void, protoss missions, i believe Starcraft 2 is coming out in winter if 2009, these are the three games i am featuring

I wasn't thrilled with Halo 3. I just don't get into FPS games any more. I really loved Halo 1, but since then I have lost interest.

I haven't played a RE game since RE2. Is the control scheme still that maddening, turn and walk combo? I loved RE1 but have lost interest in the series.

Starcraft 2 looks pretty fun. I will probably check it out on the PC. I can't get into RTS games on a console.

ok, halo 3 recon will be the best halo ever, better than CE, resident evil 5 will be like resident evil 4, over the shoulder and the walking scheme has been changed, play RE 4 and try it out, before laying RE 5, RE 4 starts a new storyline altogether, RE 5 continues it, chainsaws, miniguns, rocket launchers, all of them are used AGAINST you, trust me, resident evil 5 is going to be amazing

here is a video of one of the boss fights in resident evil 4, its not a real boss, because you come across them all the time later. its a short video

All this time I thought RE4 was a rail gunner, was that just the Wii version?
It looks pretty cool, I would be interested in both RE4 and 5.

ALL versions of RE4 are over the shoulder, but the Wii version is better because you aim with the Wiimote, also RE4 is out for the following systems, Gamecube, PS2, Wii(duh), and computer, yes this game is on the computer as well, but please don't get the computer version, the graphics suck, and I'm sure they butchered the story a little

ok, i found some good news about Resident Evil 5 on Capcom's website

*SPOILER ALERT*
