SkyWay: From X-Wing to Hovercar

Its never been my intention to stick with the X-Wing as the craft for SkyWay because, lets face it, who associates an X-Wing craft with not being able to fly, and jumping and bouncing between platforms? So thanks to the wonderful 3D modelling resource site that is Max Realms, I found this new model.

Its... odd.. to say the least, but its interesting and pretty different, so I thought it would do the job nicely. This hovercar model is created by David Goodman, and be found at the Max Realms site. Expect to see some more game shots very soon. I'm currently working on better collision detection (as always) and level design.

Games I'm Looking Forward To

Thought I would take some time out of my headache studies (as in studies that cause headaches, not studies on headaches) to post up some of the games I'm looking forward to in the future.

• Theme Park [DS] - I could never get into Theme Park World. It had great graphics, but it just didn't have the charm of the original Theme Park. So a remake of the original Theme Park for my favourite handheld? Hell yes! I was a huge fan of the original Theme Park. Granted I wasn't exactly great at it, but it was a hell of a lot of fun to play, even if I could never stop the inevitable puke epidemics that followed the roller coaster. Heres hoping this lives up to the original's gameplay, and doesn't skimp on the features!
• Sim City [DS] - Another fantastic sim game coming to DS for me to fail miserably at. Sim City 2000 was the only game I really ever approved of cheating in. Something tells me I'm doomed to take the mortal route with this port and watch myself fail miserably all over again. Still, it'll be sweet joyous failure.
• Worms [XBLA] - This morning Worms HD came out on Xbox 360's Live Arcade. Having been a fan of all Worms games, this was an essential purchase. From a quick look I noticed there isn't half as many weapons as say Worms World Party, but following prior interviews with the game developers I'd come to expect that. I'm just hoping this will be as fun as World Party, both offline and online.
• Forza Motorsport 2 [360] - Every preview clip of this I've seen has just left me in awe. I'm almost finished Project Gotham 3 (one of the first games I got with my 360), and this will be the perfect game to add to my racing collection.
• Hotel Dusk [DS] - I will get round to playing this some day. I have fond memories of the adventure game genre, so I'm hoping this will be a nice return to it.
  
• Final Fantasy XII [PS2] - Having not yet completed FF7 is still in my Pile O'Shame. I'm working on it though. Once I'm done with FF7, I'm looking forward to checking out 12.

I still have plenty of other games to come back to as well: Resident Evil 4, Gitaroo Man, Zelda: Twilight Princess, the list goes on. This summer is going to be a hell of a catch up period.
