Things to look out for!

So, I'm back. Yes, after what must have been months (and what a few horrible months those would have been), I'm back. Now, must of you will be crying 'Where have you been George?' and those of you who aren't should. One word, tests.

But seeing as I have a short respite, lets get started on my top things to look out for in the up-coming future.

1, Kung Fu Panda, the board game

I. LOVE. KUNG FU PANDA. I mean, come on, who doesn't. So you could imagine my excitement as I realised that a cooperative miniatures board game was coming out (a bit like mice and mystics if you know what that is) based entirely on it! It is going to be made by Modiphius a producer of quite a few big hits and should becoming out soon on kick-starter (a place where most young games start). Although when I said 'soon', I probably meant that it might come out this year… possibly. They say the delays on its arrival are being caused as they have to check everything with dreamworks, but I am still pumped about it, delayed or not. If you want to more about this but-kicking, fists-flying and death-defying game, go here.

2, Amonkhet, Magic the Gathering

As part of the constant cycle of new cards pushed out for Magic the Gathering (if you don't know what this hugely popular game go here) a new set is coming out, Amonkhet. It has an Egyptian style theme, which I adore (I am a bit of a history junkie), and the story behind it promises to be good. Like history, I love a good story. For more information, go here.

3, The Harry Potter Miniatures Game

Well, I'm not sure what really else to say, the title does it for me. My personal reason for being excited, is that hopefully, I can use this to get some of my friends and even maybe my sister into war games. Also, I am crossing everything I've got that there will be a expansion based round the new 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' , I mean, who doesn't want to control an army of cute magical monsters that could tear your throat out in a instant. 

4, the UK Games Expo

Now, I know that this is not a games, but I do have to say, I am more excited about this than anything else on this list. It is where I will hopefully buying most of my games to review and play for the next year and I encourage you thoroughly to go to it.
