Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade.

2007: Most Expensive Gaming Year Ever?

I was discussing upcoming XBOX 360 games with FoulBreed and we had the revelation that this year is going to be expensive for those of us wanting to play all the new "revolutionary" games.

Games I am sure I want:

Halo 3
Crackdown
Assassin's Creed
Bioshock
Forza 2
Oblivion Shivering Isles Expansion Pack

Games I might want:

GRAW 2
Mass Effect
The Darkness
PGR 4

Games that may or may not make 2007 that I probably want:

Shadowrun
Too Human
Halo Wars

Decided to dig through my old motorcycle riding gear that I no longer need and sell it on Ebay to help finance this habit (my gear for sale on eBay).

Too Human

Ever since I read an article from one of Mintz's old gaming magazines while I was in Iraq, I have been intrigued by "Too Human." The main character is Baldur, who you might recognize from Norse mythology. If not, give him a wiki (aka "Baldr"). The game is quite lofty, announcing a trilogy a full year before the initial game's release. Like many 360 games this year (Assassin's Creed, Bioshock), it promises to be "revolutionary." Silicon Knights has been slow to deliver solid information and gameplay scenes, but I am still holding out hope that an awesome campaign could deliver this one. Here's some screencaps, artwork, and a recent article from Joystiq:
