No, not that kind of resolution, the other kind. Yeah, that one.

No, not that kind of resolution, this kind has nothing to do with pixels at all. It’s New Year, which is the customary time to begin a New Year’s resolution, otherwise it wouldn’t be called a New Year’s resolution in the first place. Since we’re a gaming site, you can all make resolutions in the comments below, but they have to be gaming related. You can also make resolutions up for gaming characters if you are sufficiently funny and choose to do so. Why the hell not?

I like assume that Nathan Drake’s New Year’s resolution would be to avoid both jumping off of very tall things and to stay the hell away from clowns. Meanwhile, Sonic is probably vowing to stop being abused by Sega and actually bring out a good Sonic game. In 2D. Looks like Sonic might come through, but, if we’re lucky, Mr. Drake’s resolution will crash and burn, because there’s no interesting gameplay in a game where he’s sat next to the fireplace reading the Lord of the Rings.

Uh, anyway. Commence your gaming resolutioning (new word).

  1. That comment about Clowns better not be a spoiler!?
    And nobody answer that!
    Heaven protect you (and your points) if anyone spoils anything!

    My gaming resolution is to get my PS3 fixed and get down to some SERIOUS gaming!!
    Need to catch up on Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank, Modern Warfare 2, and a whole host of other titles!


  2. Sitting next to the fireplace reading Lord of the Rings. That sounds like Heavy Rain?

    I prefer my resolutions 1080i but I suppose I can make a semi real one.

    I resolve to at least play all the major releases that I like the look of, which means no Biosock 2 :D


  3. My gaming resolution?

    To spend more time gaming and less time talking about gaming.


    • My gaming reselution? 1920×1080


  4. to buy a playstation eye so i can finally get that Burnout Paradise platinum…. or borrow an eye from somewhere.
    or buy a new controller, i think mine’s about had it.


    • I still haven’t got round to doing that.
      Although I am just thinking of getting and old eye toy camera for a couple of quid.


    • lol A familiar case. I’m thinking of EyePet that would both solve that problem and my curiosity towards the game. The cam is also cheaper that way. But still undecided if EyePet is actually any good.


      • Dunno about burnout but in rainbow six Vegas 2 I just used an ordinary webcam to stick my face into the game and it worked fine!


      • Nope, my old webcam is incompatible. And if i’d bother myself to get a new one, it should be an Eye.


      • The EyeToy cam is compatible w/ burnout.


  5. My resolution is to get GT5 on it’s first day of release.  Oh no, wait!  That’ll be next years resolution:(


    • Lol


      • ^ Im just intriuged as to why this chap has been banned??
        Can some one spill the beans?? im bored..er…and nosey ;)


      • Asking too many questions, I think.


  6. My gaming resolution is to play more of the great single player games such as Ratchet and Clank: a crak in time and Uncharted 2: Among thieves, rather than being sucked into the Modern warfare 2 multiplayer.


    • Agreed, I need to spend more time in the glorious worlds of AC2 and Bioshock and less time running around worrying about killstreaks!


  7. Hmm… Complete FF13. Have enough to spend on all the titles i’d want. Get a 360. Find some friends.

    Looks close to impossible though. ^^


    • Oh and also have all the peripherals like a headset, a camera, and a racing wheel.


  8. Going to re-purchase a PS2, as it has forced its way above a 360 in my shopping list.


    • Hats off to you sir. Might I suggest Yakuza 2 as a title to accompany your purchase or do you already have a few titles in mind?


  9. I don’t get the clown reference but i am only just up out of bed :) I think Nathan drake will take a sabbatical this year because Elena wants to start building a nest and wants him to get a proper job. :)

    My own gaming resolution is to complete more of my games.


  10. Ok here goes….My resolution: bottle my anger with CoD campers and try not to send as many abusive messages when they kill me after hiding inbetween two dustbins for the best part of 5 minutes!


    • Hiding between two dustbins? Sounds like they’re playing a fun game, lmao.


  11. GAMING RESOLUTION.. huh? I thought that you weren’t suppose to keep to these things. I thought you just pretended. I mean, for example. Go into your local town, and walk up to a fat person. There should be plenty of them. Ask them what there new year’s resolution is. I’ll bet my left buttock they’ll say “cut down on CHOCOLATE.” Then, go into town in few weeks, try to find the person, they’ll be fatter. TRUST ME.
    Anyhow, my gaming resolution is to play more. One i can clearly achieve, and because this year means nothing technically to my work, i can. next year – Dentistry here i come! 80,000 smackeroos a week! MUWAHAHA!


  12. My gaming resolution is to actually get the platnums i set out for rather than getting to the “can’t be arsed’ stage and trading it in.


    • platinums*


    • Mine too


  13. My gaming resolutions for 2010 are the same as in 2009: 1920×1080 on my PS3, and 1280×1024 on my desktop PC :) . Happy new year to all The Sixth Axis staff and readers.


  14. My resolution: Play lots of MW2 with the TSA clan and win all games we play :D and hopefully get a PSPgo.


  15. My resolution: buy sony motion controller, unless it has a terrible name.
