On the outside looking in

Being stuck in Oklahoma sometimes sucks.
I'm here in Oklahoma while the whole world of geekdom is in San Diego right now at Comic-Con. Do I like comics? Not really, but what I do like is video game news, and Comic-Con is the place for news.
The biggest news coming out today is not pointed at myself, but it's huge news.
Halo: Reach will be Bungie's last XBox 360 game.
Speaking to Gamerzines at Comic-Con, senior game designer Lars Bakken said...
"In terms of a platform for Halo games made by Bungie...yes Reach is the last one. I can't answer that question about Microsoft - whether they have something in the works or not, I don't know if they're actually ready to talk about it yet. But in terms of Bungie-produced Halo games, ODST and Reach is all you're going to get on 360."
That's just sad for XBox fans, as Halo is arguably the best shooter for the console and built the rabid fan base that the franchise holds.
As for me, the most exciting thing was a gameplay trailer released for the Nintendo DS title, Scribblenauts.
This is THE game I have been waiting for, a big surprise for a portable title.
I just want to see if I can break the game, but it's been said that it is impossible.
But anyway, here's the trailer.


See you tomorrow, maybe I will actually have something cool to say. Likely not, the house has been uber busy lately so the system has been mainly used to watch DVDs. Oh well, at least I can finally see Watchmen tonight.
I know, it's awful that I'm just getting around to watching it now.
Fudge ya.
