Video games sap up so much of my time, yet... they are extremely relaxing. I suppose I'll never give them up, they are my passion, after all.
I am drooling over the games that we will be seeing within the next month, while trying to find a driver for Bonnaroo quite desperately. If anyone's interested in going to Bonnaroo with Emily and myself, and can drive, let me know.
Anyway, back to the games... GTA: San Andreas is coming out this month for PC, finally. It's been a year since it released on the PS2, and finally us PC and XBox gamers will have our hands on it, with supposedly vastly improved graphics. Since I need a little bit of mayhem in my gaming right now... I do believe I shall enjoy it quite a bit... I've been playing GTA games for a long time (GTA 2 was classic!), and I shall continue to enjoy the unlimited amounts of mayhem and violence I can unleash upon an unsuspecting world. *grins*
F.E.A.R. looks like candy. Very, very pretty and scary candy, complete with scary pale little devil girls. I really haven't seen enough besides screens to make a judgement, but the company that's behind it has a history of delicious games, and I'm quite excited to try it. In terms of graphics and physics, it looks quite polished, so I'm not expecting any let-downs there, except in hoping my PC can handle it.
Last, but certainly not least, is Advent Rising. It certainly doesn't look all that great, in terms of graphics (I believe it runs off the dated Unreal 2 engine, though that wasn't too bad). What's getting my proverbial juices flowing, however, certainly isn't how it looks. It's the person writing the story that is getting me going.
Take a guess.

Orson Scott Card. You know, the dude who wrote Ender's Game. The story looks promising, and the XBox version releases tomorrow. I myself will have to wait for another month for it to release on PC, but I can wait.
Anyway, that's all I'm looking forward to this month in terms of games. Of course, all that's overshadowed by the delicious knowledge that soon enough I will be at Bonnaroo. If only I can find another bloody driver...
Later edit: Oops! I forgot Battlefield 2! Also coming out this month, I believe.
Mmmmm...
