PC games of 2009 - Mirror's Edge, Commander in Chief, EndWar, Prototype, X-Men, Dark Void, Harry Potter, Madden NFL, Section 8, Saw, QuakeCon...
Mirror's Edge is coming out for PC January 6 of 2009. The very capacity to be allowed the freedom to control the character as the player would his or her own body proves to surpass any video game before it. In this way, players aren't merely punching buttons to manipulate what they see before them, players are utilizing the controls as a medium through which they can watch their chosen actions performed by a character on-screen. In Mirror's Edge, the character is the player. Having already been released for the XBox 360 and PS3 on November 11, the game's hype has become realized. Soon, the computer nerds of the US will be granted the privilege to pick apart Mirror's Edge for PC. The time will come on January 6, 2009.
February: Exclusively for PC, Commander in Chief comes out on February 20, 2009. For what seems like the first time in gaming history, Commander in Chief allows for the player to choose an existing country to manage in a real-time simulation.
March: Tom Clancy's EndWar will be released March 2, 2009. This game looks like an extremely intricate improvement upon old school Battleship; which is fascinating in my book.
April: On April 1, 2009 Prototype is scheduled to be let loose upon the US. Set in current-day New York, the game puts the player in the role of comic-book-style antihero Alex Mercer, an ordinary guy who wakes up one day and finds himself completely at a loss for memory
May: The only game officially set to be released this month is X-Men Origins: Wolverine. VideoGamer.com basically describes X-Men Origins as a sort-of interactive follow-up of the original movie's trilogy.
June: Solely due to the fact that this game is brought to you by Capcom, the adventures of Dark Void should be nothing short of mind-blowing. With such titles as Street Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter, etc under their belt, one can only see the promise of greatness in Capcom's future.
July: For the kiddies interested in losing themselves in some hardcore J.K. Rowling adventures, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince just may be your cup of tea.
August: In August, Madden NFL 2010 will be available for all who own some sort of console or handheld gaming device.
September: TimeGate is liberating its developmental hold on FPS Section 8 on September 30. After the resolution of a lawsuit pinned upon TimeGate by ABC Studios earlier this year, the game has been issued a sure-fire release date for September of next.
October: Brash Entertainment is saving the release of a Saw game for next October.
November: After next Fall's scheduled QuakeCon event to be hosted in Dallas, Texas, a consumer electronics show by the name of Li-Fi will be held at the Dalls Convention Center November 20-22, 2009.
December: Now, is it golden oldie Starcraft II or spankin' new Bioshock 2 that have gamers, all across the globe, salivating at the bit for a chance to reserve that one special game title in December?
